Penn Fathom II Star Drag Conventional Reel
The second generation Penn Fathom II star drag reel is built with a rigid metal frame and sideplates with additional features added to the reel to make it more angler friendly. Penn added faster gear access from the sideplate allowing the user to service the machine-cut marine grade bronze main gear with hardened stainless steel pinion and HT-100 drag system quickly and efficiently. The PENN live spindle design offers long, effortless casts, while the power gear ratios (select models only) give ultimate torque for winching up deep fish. The reels also feature an instant anti-reverse and line capacity rings. Magnetic casting brake available on 12 and 15 sizes only.
To have your reel professionally spooled for only the cost of the line itself*, feel free to visit our Braided Line Per-Yard page or try some of our customers' favorite lines below!
*All reels will be backed with 20lb Clear Berkley Trilene Big Game Monofilament to fill the spool at no additional cost if the ordered length of braid alone does not fill the spool. To have your reel spooled with straight braid, either: 1. Order a quantity of braid that will overfill the spool and we will refund the difference, or 2. Contact Us with your request and we will promptly spool your reel and contact you with the exact length of braid to add to your order. For more detailed spooling instructions, such as the additions of leaders or topshots using specific knots, crimps, and/or hollow core splices, please Contact Us as well. If you can dream it, we can rig it!
