The Penn Fathom II FTHII30LWLH Level Wind Reel is a high-performance reel that builds upon the success of its predecessor, enhancing durability and user-friendliness. One of the standout improvements is the inclusion of Penn's innovative Fast Gear Access Sideplate, which significantly eases the process of reel maintenance. Anglers often face challenges in maintaining their reels, requiring professional servicing that can be time-consuming and costly. With the Fast Gear Access Sideplate, this process is streamlined, allowing anglers to easily access the gear system by removing just four screws. This design prevents the loss of small parts like springs, making self-servicing a feasible option for many.
The Fathom II Level Wind Reel is constructed with a full metal body and sideplates, ensuring maximum durability, especially in harsh saltwater conditions. The reel also features a forged and machined aluminum spool, providing lightweight strength without compromising performance. Its stainless steel main and pinion gears ensure long-lasting precision and durability. The HT-100 Dura-Drag system further enhances the reel's capabilities, delivering a consistently smooth drag performance even at high drag settings, enabling anglers to tackle larger, more powerful fish with confidence.
Another key feature of the Penn Fathom II is its 4+1 shielded stainless steel bearing system. These shielded bearings protect against corrosion, contributing to the reel's smoothness and longevity. The reel's line capacity rings and reinforced levelwind system ensure excellent line management, preventing issues such as insert pop-out, which can be a common problem during intense fights. With a gear ratio of 4.3:1, the FTHII30LWLH offers a perfect balance between power and speed, retrieving 31 inches of line per handle turn, making it suitable for deep-water fishing and trolling applications.
The Penn Fathom II FTHII30LWLH Level Wind Reel is a reliable tool for anglers seeking a robust, easy-to-maintain reel capable of handling challenging environments and large fish species. Weighing 26.1 ounces, it is built for endurance, and its left-hand retrieve makes it an ideal choice for left-handed anglers. The reel’s max drag capacity of 30 lbs provides substantial stopping power, while its generous line capacities—375 yards of 30 lb mono and 725 yards of 50 lb braid—make it versatile for different angling situations. Overall, the Penn Fathom II delivers high-quality construction, smooth performance, and features tailored to meet the needs of serious anglers.
