PENN Fathom II Lever Drag 2-Speed Conventional Reel Bent T Handle 15XNLD2 LH

Two-Speed Power and Refined Ergonomics for Hard-Fighting Sea Species

The Penn Fathom II Lever Drag 2-Speed Conventional Reel Bent T Handle is a high-specification conventional reel built without compromise for demanding saltwater fishing. The 15XNLD2 is one of the smaller models in the range, yet it is engineered specifically for battling powerful fish from great depths. It performs exceptionally well in Scandinavian waters, where you can target cod, pollack, coalfish and more, and it is equally at home in warmer seas after kingfish, amberjack, small tuna and snapper. A standout feature of this model is the Bent T Handle: the crank arm curves slightly inward and is fitted with an ergonomic T-bar knob. This design optimises the balance point during the fight, reducing the tendency for the rod to tip and twist under load. It also improves grip comfort, gives you more leverage and is noticeably kinder on the wrist - making it far easier to work heavy lures and to stay fresh during long, hard fights.

Fast Mid-Fight Gear Changes with the Quick-Shift II System

The Quick-Shift II 2-Speed System is one of the technical highlights of the Penn Fathom II Lever Drag 2-Speed Conventional Reel Bent T Handle, representing the second generation of this well-proven Penn technology. A conveniently placed lever lets you switch instantly between two gear ratios - even while you are cranking or in the middle of a demanding fight. High gear lets you recover line and lures quickly, while low power gear delivers the torque you need to pump even exceptional fish up from the depths. This new generation of the system operates more smoothly and robustly than its predecessor, and the refined design effectively prevents accidental gear changes.

A Compact Powerhouse in a Rigid Aluminium Frame

The Penn Fathom II Lever Drag 2-Speed Conventional Reel Bent T Handle protects its internals with a one-piece frame and side plate machined from solid aluminium. This highly rigid construction gives the gearing an absolutely reliable foundation even under maximum load. The housing has also been redesigned with ergonomics in mind, making the reel more compact and better fitting in the hand. The result is a genuine powerhouse that combines outstanding structural strength with excellent fishing comfort.

Formidable Drag Power and Long-Term Durability

The stainless steel gearing and the forged, machine-finished aluminium spool built into the Penn Fathom II Lever Drag 2-Speed Conventional Reel Bent T Handle ensure maximum durability under the harshest conditions. The integrated Dura-Drag system delivers a drag force of 14.9 kg, allowing you to apply serious pressure during the fight. The clever Pull-to-Turn knob lets you pre-set the drag precisely while making it impossible to knock the setting accidentally in the heat of the moment. That makes the Fathom II Lever Drag 2-Speed Conventional Reel Bent T Handle a standout choice for anyone targeting the fish of a lifetime in Norway, Iceland and other demanding destinations.
