Penn Fathom II Multiplier Reel 30LD2 14.97kg 19–38cm 5.5:1/2.8:1

Penn Fathom II Multiplier Reel 30LD2 — Lever Drag Precision for Serious Saltwater Anglers

The Penn Fathom II 30LD2 is a right-hand retrieve lever drag (LD) multiplier reel built for demanding saltwater fishing, combining a compact, palm-friendly design with the strength and durability big-game conditions demand.

Built to Handle the Salt

The one-piece machined aluminium frame and side plate deliver exceptional rigidity, keeping gears aligned under heavy load. Stainless steel main and pinion gears resist corrosion and stand up to the sustained pressure of deep-sea or offshore fishing sessions.

Precise, Confident Drag Control

The Dura-Drag™ system provides smooth, consistent stopping power up to 14.97 kg (33 lb), while the Pull-To-Turn pre-set knob locks your drag setting in place — preventing accidental changes during the fight. The Quick-Shift II™ two-speed system lets you switch between the 5.5:1 high gear (38 cm per turn) for fast retrieves and the 2.8:1 low gear (19 cm per turn) for grinding power when a fish runs deep.
