Penn Fathom II Lever Drag 40N — High-Speed Power for Serious Offshore Fishing

The Penn Fathom II Lever Drag 40N with its 7.1:1 gear ratio delivers blazing-fast retrieval—152 cm per turn—making it the perfect choice when you need to recover line quickly or work lures aggressively in deep water.

Built to Last in Saltwater Environments

The one-piece machined aluminum frame and sideplate design integrates the structural components for maximum strength while keeping the reel compact in hand. At the core sits a stainless steel main and pinion gear paired with a forged and machined aluminum spool, engineered to handle hard-fighting saltwater species year after year. The Dura-Drag system delivers consistent stopping power up to 18.1 kg.

Precision Control You Can Trust

The Pull-to-Turn preset drag knob prevents accidental adjustments during the fight—pull the knob out to adjust your drag setting, then push it back in to lock it securely. This level of control is essential when targeting powerful fish where precise drag management makes the difference. The 5 stainless steel bearing system ensures smooth operation under load, while the multi-stop anti-reverse provides instant hook-setting power.
