The classic PENN Fathom lever drag 2-speed reel is built with a rigid metal frame and sideplates . and a 2-speed gear system that lets you adapt to different fishing situations. The upper gear offers a higher gear ratio for faster retrieves and reeling in smaller fish while the lower gear provides more power when you’re dealing with a larger catch. A stainless steel main and pinion gear provide improved durability and a sturdy double-dog ratchet anti-reverse system ensures nothing gets away. Saltwater breeds a different kind of angler.
