Penn Fathom II Star Drag Casting Special — Built for Deep-Water Battles

The Penn Fathom II Star Drag Casting Special 15 combines a rigid full-metal construction with angler-friendly serviceability. Its fast gear access sideplate and Live Spindle design deliver effortless long casts and the power to winch up deep-dwelling fish.

Effortless Casting with Live Spindle Technology

The Live Spindle design with free-floating spool minimizes friction during the cast, letting line flow freely for extended distance. Combined with the magnetic casting brake, you gain precise control over your presentation without sacrificing range—ideal for targeting structure at depth or covering water efficiently.

Built Tough, Easy to Maintain

The full-metal body and sideplates provide a rigid platform that withstands saltwater punishment. The fast gear access sideplate lets you service the machine-cut marine-grade bronze main gear and HT-100 drag washers quickly, keeping your reel performing season after season. Seven shielded stainless steel ball bearings plus an instant anti-reverse bearing ensure smooth, reliable operation under load.
