Penn Fathom II Lever Drag 30LD — Built for Power and Precision

One-Piece Aluminum Construction for Maximum Durability

The integrated machined aluminum frame and sideplate create a rigid, compact platform that fits comfortably in hand while maximizing gear strength. Stainless steel main and pinion gears paired with a forged aluminum spool ensure this reel handles hard-fighting fish season after season.

Pull-to-Turn Preset Drag System

Set your drag with confidence using the Pull-to-Turn preset knob—pull it out to adjust, release to lock. This design eliminates accidental changes during the fight, while the proven Dura-Drag system delivers smooth, consistent pressure up to 14.9 kg. The 5 stainless steel bearing system ensures reliable performance in harsh saltwater conditions.
