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.

Custom Reel Spooling
Get your reel professionally spooled for the cost of the line only. Choose from two options for straight braid spooling:
-
Order the required braid from our Braided Line Per-Yard page (we’ll refund any overage).
-
Contact us with your spool specs, and we’ll guide you on the exact braid quantity to order.
If your braid order doesn't fully fill the spool, we’ll back it with the appropriate sized line at no extra cost. For custom spooling big game reels with leaders, knots, crimps, or splices, contact us—if you can dream it, we can rig it!
