Penn Fathom II Star Drag Reel 25 6.1:1 550g 13.6kg 107cm

Penn Fathom II Star Drag 25 — Built for Big Fish and Deep Water

The Penn Fathom II Star Drag 25 delivers the durability and power saltwater anglers need for serious vertical jigging and bottom fishing. With a 6.1:1 gear ratio, 107 cm retrieve per turn, and 13.6 kg of drag, this conventional reel handles everything from tuna to grouper.

Full Metal Construction for Saltwater Duty

Rigid metal frame and sideplates withstand the punishment of offshore fishing. The machine-cut marine-grade bronze main gear paired with a hardened stainless steel pinion ensures smooth, reliable power under load. Fast gear access sideplate lets you service the drive train and HT-100 drag washers quickly without complicated disassembly.

Live Spindle Design for Effortless Casting

The free-floating spool design reduces friction for longer casts with less effort. Seven shielded stainless steel ball bearings plus an instant anti-reverse bearing keep the retrieve smooth and eliminate handle backplay. Line capacity rings on the spool let you monitor your depth at a glance when working structure or wrecks.
