Questions about Penn Fathom Lever Drag

what does the n stand for in the serial number

Answer: The N stands for a narrow spool so you don't have as much side to side to level wind your line. The 25 and the 40 come in the narrow spool sizes.

Is the 60 model the fth60ld2? the 2 speed with the lever drag?

Answer: I have a 25 N and the "N" means narrow. The 60 LD 2 would be Lever Drag(LD) and the (2) would be two speed.

Answer: Yes size is 60, LD is leve drag, 2= 2 speed

Answer: Yes. 2 speed with lever drag

Answer: Yes, same size as the 40 but wider. Also has a crossbar over the top portion of the spool.

Answer: Yes it is and a very well made reel.

when ajusting the drag, is there a way to tell you how many pounds it is set on or do you have to estimate it.

Answer:

Answer: There is no way to index the pounds of drag on the reel. Move the increase/decrease knob while the level is in"freespool" and then push the lever forward. With a full spool of line on the reel you will soon learn how much drag pressure is set. Practice for a short time and you will understand. Where I fish we have to adjust the drag depending on the type of fish and the methods involved. It's a great reel for everything I do.

Answer: U can check it with a scale or i just set and test it by pulling on it. its suppose to set to just before breakage.

Answer: You have to estimate it or use a scale.

for 30n, 30 means # test?

Answer: Yes, it used to, but it is the old numbering system. These reels are much more powerful, capable of using #50,60 or even 80 braid with the desired topshot of mono, in a “30” size reel. 300 yds. of #30 is what it used to mean. Same size, different capability today.

Answer: The fathom 30 means 300yds of 30#mono, the fathom 25 means 300 yds of 25# mono, the fathom 40n means 300yds of 40 #mono and so on and so forth

Answer: No. The 30 or 30n is the size of the reel spool. For line test sizes/capacity go to Penn website.

Answer: The number is approx 315 yards of mono in that line wt...so a 25 has 305 yards of #25 mono.....a 40 has 315 yards of 40# mono.....braid which is thinner for its strength will hold more yards of a higher rating # than the mono equivelent

What is the gear ratio?

Answer: 5.51 high 2.89 low gear. Compare this to the TORQUE.. weight is roughly the same. The body style is the same. The torque is one piece cnc; The only difference... IMHO best bang for the buck.

Answer: Go to penn’s website to get your answer

Would the 25n be good for yellowtail/bluefin/yellowfin in so cal?

Answer: For fish up to 35-40 lbs, it' is great. For larger bluefin which have been showing in southern Cal, the 40n 2 speed is stronger.. I have both, great reels.

Answer: I've caught lots of 30-100# tuna on 1980's Penn Senator 4/0's. These reels absolutely blow them away in all categories. I would fish the 25n loaded with 60# braid and short 50# flouro topshot for Tuna up to 100# no prob.

Answer: Yes I use it for them. I caught yellowfin two days ago.

Answer: Probably the top value right now for a quality #30 or #40 outfit( especially with #50 Braid line) I have used mine a few times this year and so far can't find a problem.

Answer: How much line does it hold

What is the best boat rod to pair with the 40n model?

Answer:

Answer: I paired an Okuma Cedros jigging rod with my FTH30LD2. I load 65lb braid with a top shot of 40lb mono. We catch bull reds, blacktip sharks, bug drum, red snapper, large stingrays, and other salt water fish on these rigs. This Okuma Cedros jigging rod would probably work well for you. https://www.amazon.com/Okuma-CJ-C-661M-6-5-Foot-Casting-65-Pound/dp/B001V7ETVW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470783466&sr=8-1&keywords=okuma+cedros+jigging+rod

Answer: "Best" rod would depend on your preference and what you are fishing for. I'm west coast, fishing is done stand up style. I use mine for tuna in the 40+ pound range. My rod is an Okuma Makaira 701XH 30-80 lb. class, 7 foot. I like the shorter rod on this for leverage on larger fish, in case you get into 70+ lb. Since it is used as a live bait (mackerel/sardine) rod, casting distance is not a priority as with a 8-9 foot rod.

Answer: It depends what you're fishing for. Mine is paired to a calstar bt 6480, for yo-yo iron or live bait fishing. West coast baja style. Your mileage may vary.

Answer: Shimano trevala of appropriate weight for what fish your catching.

The picture and description indicates that the penn 40n is a 2 speed lever reel, is this what i will receive if i purchase the reel?

Answer: Yes! This is a 2 speed lever reel. Awesome! Effective!! Sure landing!!! Tight lines:)

Answer: Yes, it's a two speed

Hi will this penn fathom 25n fit on the ugly stick gx2

Answer: The ugly stick gx2 is a rod for a spinning reel. Not a conventional reel or a casting conventional reel

Answer: I believe so. It is a 20 series reel so still small. For actual casting is still on the big side.

How can you attach a harness clip to this reel?

Answer: No way too. Thai is a smaller reel. But it just reeled up a 350+lb salmon shark.

Answer: You can’t on the 30 series only the 60

Answer: Don't know why u need one

Can I use this reel for trolling and bottom fishing? IE wahoo, mahi and grouper and snapper?

Answer: I have never used this for trolling. The 2 speed reel will help you haul up those big fish from the bottom.

Answer: With the amount of drag available on this reel it should be capable of most any bigger fish scenario

Answer: Absolutely, I’ve used for both

Answer: Yes it should work well.

do you have left and right hand options?

Answer: The FTH25NLD2 and FTH30LD2 will offer "left hand drive" versions after September 2017.

Which Rod are you guys pairing this up with? I'll be fishing off charter boat for rockfish, tuna, etc.

Answer: I use the penn medium heavy rod with the cross hatch foam grip cost 200. Carnage 2 i think it is. Nice action very parabolic

Answer: Star custom or star VPR rods are my personal favorite. They will be yours also if you use one.

Do u have this available in left hand

Answer: I don't but they do

Is it right handed

Answer: yes

how much lead core (18lb) will it hold?

Answer: that's up to you

This’s used for beach or boat ?

Answer: I’ve used the Fathom 40N mostly on deep sea boats but I have used it for beach fishing.. worked great on both..

Answer: This reel is for Ocean fishing from a boat. Great for Tuna and big bottom fish. The is a heavy duty reel for bigger fish.

Answer: I’m using off a kayak, I haven’t tried casting from shore.

Answer: Unless you fish for giant fish from the beach, this reel is better suited for deep sea. such as tuna or other larger species

Answer: Boat

Answer: Both

it says lever drag but showing 40n which is single speed drag. I want the 40nld2 but it doesn't say that anywhere?

Answer: I have a 25N 2 speed and have only had to use low gear once(200 pound thresher shark). The narrow versions hold plenty of the new braided line.

Yoy guys have left hand?

Answer: 30 and under have lefty's. 40 and 60 no

Is this real good for trolling

Answer: It can be done depending on what you are targeting. Spanish mackerel or bonito sure. Anything bigger than that, no.

Answer: sure why not.

What size penn neoprene reel cover fits the 40nld? small?

Answer: Hi! I'm not 100% sure, but I guess small would be a snug but right fit. I would further suggest put this search title in Amazon website "Penn Neoprene Reel Cover" and look at the answers to the FAQ. The exact answer may be there. Your choice of reel was perfect:) Happy fishing!

The heading and pic say fathom 30 which is model fth30ld2. however, in product details it says fth15ld2 which is a much smaller reel. which is it?

Answer: Should be the 30 thats what i received. I do love that 15 great yellowtail killer

Answer: The 15 is the smallest the 30 is the bigger one

Answer: When I ordered it, it was the 30. No promises if you order it though.

Answer: 15 is smaller

what are the dementions of the reel, (the width and diameter)

Answer: The outside diameter is 2 7/8 inches and the total width including the handle knob is 4 3/4 inches.

Answer: Sorry I can't help you. I'm in Michigan and reel is in Florida. It is rather small for it's power.

80 braid how many yards

Answer: 300 yds 100 lb test

I'll get this product in black

Answer: Sure go ahead. It’s the only color.

Huw much braided line fits on 40n model?

Answer: Depends on the diameter of the braided line. You can fit 300yrds 80lb on the reel easy.

Answer: Depends what size braid you use. I got 450yds of 80lb Berkley pro spec with room for a mono topshot on mine. 65lb braid I'm sure you can get over 500yds.

Answer: This question needs to be more specific. Braided line comes in different sizes. This kind of info can be found on the Penn web site.

Answer: I got 400 yrds of 80 lbs. power pro on mine. to fish 50/60 lbs flouro

Answer: About 500 yard of 80lb

Answer: 655 yards of 65 spectra

Can I get this in a left hand?

Answer: Yes

Can these reels be equipped with 100-200 pound mono? I’m looking for a conventional reel that can pull Goliath groupers from a pier.

Answer: No, can put 80# Spectre & top shot 80 # fluorocarbon, you have to go to a bigger reel!

Answer: No. I do use 80 brad

Is the Fathom 30 2 speed as strong as the Fathom 40n 2 speed?

Answer: I like the Fathom 30 for 25-30 LB line. I use the 40N for 50 and 60#. Both reels are strong, the reason the 40N is for larger # line is because of it’s line capacity.

Photo is showing model 30ld2 but the serial number model indicates it the 15ld2? which one is this for?

Answer: 15ld2

What is the rate of retrieve

Answer: It's a 2 speed so it's 5.0 and 2.5. Quick and easy to change speeds when needed.

Answer: I returned my 60L AND GOT A 50 NO BAR ACROSS TOP OF REEL

can this reel be used for 125lb bluefin tuna. off ca. coast .thank you

Answer: The max drag of models 40 e 60 is 40LB. I think that the Penn Fathom shouldn't have any problems with 125LB bluefin tuna

Answer: The reel is more than capable, when paired with the proper line and rod, of landing fish in that range.

Answer: I believe so, I have mine loaded with 65lb hollow and 50 lb topshot, took a 130 bigeye a couple weeks ago and did fine. We didnt turn into it as we hooked a yellowfin too.. worked great.

Answer: Yes it can handle 125 lb bft. The drag is great and can handle 80-100 lb braided line

Answer: Yes sir

Are there any differences (other than line capacity) between the 40 and the 60 models?

Answer: The 49 is a 2 speed and the 60 has a larger line capacity.

Will this reel be sufficient in 300 to 400 feet of water in the gulf ? Grouper , snapper ?

Answer: The fantom 25 and 40 are great reels strong drag for larger fish. I love the 2 speed, lever drag, and how functional it is.

Answer: I’d go with the 40n or even 60 mode if you’re fishing that deep and that big of fish imo.

where can I buy a penn fth15ld2 2 speed reel

Answer: Here

is the 40N same as fth40NLD2 or right hand 40lb drag and a two speed ?

Answer: On Penn's website, the 2 speed lever drag model is a 40N, so is the lever drag without the two speed. with about a $50 price difference. If you want a two speed, make sure it designates two speed, and levers on 2 speed are gold, levers on single speed are red.

Answer: 40N is only a single speed

Does the 60 come in left hand reel

Answer: The 60 will be offered in "left hand drive" in the SINGLE SPEED version only after September 2017.

Answer: I ordered a Fathom FTH60LD2 which is suppose to be right hand,it came from Bass Pro online as a left and I have to send it back.guess it was boxed wrong?what is strang is there is no part# FTH60LD2LH,but here to tell you that is what came.gonna call Penn on Monday morning to see what gives?:(

Is the 40n good for jigging stripper bass ?

Answer: Probably overkill. Mine handles stingray and leopard sharks so unless you are going after 30 pound plus striped bass you could drop a size down. Just my opinion.

When do you use high and low gears?

Answer: In general you will always use high gear but when yo are fighting a large fish you can go to low gear to have more cranking power

Where those made

Answer: China

what is the difference between the 25N and the 30

Answer: The 25n has a narrower spool and holds less line. Otherwise the two reels are identical. For more specs see the penn fishing reel web site...

Answer: The width of the reel. N is for narrow. I prefer narrow reels especially for braid line because line capacity is less of an issue.

Good for mono

Answer: Yes! I'm actually old school so I prefer mono over braid. I landed a 125 lb striped marlin on a mono. Tight lines:)

Answer: Yes but I use 80lb braid for quantity and run lighter drag because it doesn't stretch like mono.

Answer: Any line will do

So which one is this one 25 or 30?

Answer: 30

What is the best rod paired with this reel? Any rod Model # suggestions from Penn?

Answer: Phoenix Abyss

can i use this reel on the beach and pier?

Answer: A lever drag dropping off a pier is OK, casting from the beach would require some skill. I have the 40N 2 speed for tuna. Go for a smaller model like a 15 or 25n.

Answer: Overkill for that use . use star drag reel Penn squall .

Answer: You could, but I feel this reel is much better suited for an offshore, bottom fishing rig. I've fought some big goliaths with it (ultimately getting broken off in the rocks or pulling the hook), and I've caught some big grouper and amber jack on it. The low gear has a ton of power for pulling grouper away from the rocks.

Answer: Sure why not ,i have used this reel everywhere it is lightweight and it can cast far.

Answer: You could for giant fish I live in southern California and I use it for 30 plus yellowtail to 50 plus pound tuna

Answer: As for the rod i would use any 8ft. Medium heavy , or a heavy

Best rod for penn fathom2 30lh?

Answer: I have used it on a United composites tilefish jr and a Daiwa proteus

Is the 60 a 2 speed lever drag?

Answer: Yes I ordered this exact reel. Fathom 60LD2. LD indicates lever drag and the 2 indicates 2 speed.

Answer: Yes

can i use this reel for tuna 30to 60lbs thank you

Answer: I have my reel rigged with 65 pound test braid and a 50 pound mono"top-shot". I fought and landed a thresher shark that weighed approx 175 pounds. Tuna will beat you up but the reel can handle it.

What is the reel side plate diameter of the 25n?

Answer: I would suggest referring to the Penn web site for specs.

Product reviews of Penn Fathom Lever Drag

Steven A. : The Beast Master... at a value price

I’m writing this review of the NLD40 2-speed which I paired with a Phoenix Axis heavy 8.2’ rod; reel was packed with 80lb spectra and a short amount of 80lb Fluor along with a heavy duty 2/0 circle hook. I used this combo on a 1.5 day trip out of San Diego targeting Blue Fin in early July 2020. This is a factual account of the experience: brought 3-blue fin each weighing approx 180lb to the boat in 45-60 minutes. This was the first true test for this reel. Reel feels very good under pressure; reel is very capable... lacks nothing especially in low gear; Without any reservation, this reel is an incredible value at the lower end of the price range for a 2-speed. You can easily spend more with other brands. I’m very happy with this reel

diego : Bang for buck

Great value 2 speed, had a chance to use the lower gear when the yellowtail dropped straight down and really made a difference. Worth it.

HHufford : Makes fishing fun

Makes reeling in big fish easy. I pulled up a big shark and thought it was a Grouper!

donna lawson : 2 speed is a quick shift

I got the fathom 60ld2 to get the most range in saltwater fishing. Can't wait to get this out on the water and try it out. Penn is always my go to reel in salt water.

Shawn conley : Best real on the market for fishing on a budget for behemoths!

Reel handled this 185# blue fin like a champ. It was on the deck in under 15 minutes. Low gear is awesome. It's easy to change in and out when this thing ran towards the boat. Metal body was able to handle the 30# drag. I could barely hold it after five minutes. I resulted to using the rail. I dropped back into gear and horsed it up. 40n and the 60 are virtually the same reel just one has more capacity. Noo need to use more the 80lb braid on the 40 and 100-130 on the 60. 500yds for 80# on the 40n and 700 yds of 100# braid. Both have max drag of 38#.

diego : Bang for buck

Great value 2 speed, had a chance to use the lower gear when the yellowtail dropped straight down and really made a difference. Worth it.

Jay Cube : Excellent Budget 2 Speed Lever Drag

You can't beat this reel for this price point. In fact, it competes against more expensive reels quite well in terms of quality and performance. The only downside is, this reel is made overseas. From some, that is not ideal. However the quality is still excellent.

graziano : Good

So far so good, seems to be a winner

Joe : Smooth reel for the medium Pelagic fish.

VERY nice reel. Purchased to use with my Beastmaster 20/30 travel rod and has proven to be a great combination. Don’t think it would handle a 200lb class Tuna with the line capacity, but maybe with a good captain willing to chase it down a bit. As for Dorado and Wahoo, the reel has preformed outstanding. Really wish Penn would make this reel in a 60 class left hand. I had to step to the Squall for that, but would Jump at a 60 class Fathom in a heartbeat.

Gabriel cortez : Great reel

Great two speed for the price. Can’t wait to use it on some tuna.

Zack : Awesome reel

Awesome reels! We have 3 of the 40N and a 25N for halibut fishing. It's nice having the 2 speed for the kids or big fish and the 42inch retrieval for bait checks saves a lot of time.

Naptown76 : Missing Cover

I like the reel but unlike my first order, I didn't receive the reel cover with this order. I'm upset about that, especially after spending nearly $300 on a reel.

miguel labastida : Recommended for easy retrieving fish big yellowtail no problem

I used on 2 fishing trip and it works great

Amazon Customer : A must have!

Great solid feeling reel. Has plenty of pulling power for those game fish and rock fish. Fun for sharks and bat rays. This reel is very very versatile.

David M : Great reel, great price

Great reel for the price. Used for offshore So. Cal fishing. Excellent free spool, smooth drags, and easy to use 2 speed. This is the 2 speed model and is fairly light weight when compare to expensive higher end 2 speed reels. The reel is smooth and quiet, easy to cast live bait or jigging, or just dropper loop for deep water rock fish. Deep spool can handle ample amount of mono line or 50 to 65lb spectra. Narrow profile allows for comfortable fishing all day. I have 2 of these reels, 30lbs and 40lbs setups.

Kayla : Great bargains for the money!

To set the record straight the 60LD2 HAS hide away lugs for a leash or harness. It can catch big game with ease

unregistered : Good Economical Reel

This is an excellent entry level 2 speed lever drag reel. You get a lot of bang for your buck, but don't think for a second that this is "as good" as one of those $500+ anodized reels. I have several of these Fathoms and keep 60# or less line on them. Good backup/loaner reels. Much better than Senators, but more complicated for inexperienced newbies.

Vicky Vongdara : Love it

Work very well for rock fishing

matt78 : the only reel that you will need in California.

paired this reel with pen carnage 2. Perfect fit. Caught a very nice yellowtail on this rod in Cedros .they use these reels as rentals down in San Diego. So you know they're perfect and can take a beating. Built this rod for Bluefins.

HHufford : Makes fishing fun

Makes reeling in big fish easy. I pulled up a big shark and thought it was a Grouper!

miguel labastida : Recommended for easy retrieving fish big yellowtail no problem

I used on 2 fishing trip and it works great

victor soltero : Best reel

One best deals in the market for that price point

Eric : Great buy

Broke it in on my tuna trip.
Worked smooth and easy.

Mark Palmer : Perfect combination of strength, power and all day use.

Nice quality reel out of the box. Very excited to put it to work. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!! VERY HELPFUL. Easily adjustable drag setup, love the 2 speed feature.

russell b. : decieved

Unit came broken and missing a part that attaches 2 speed button to the reel is missing
Due to the covid virus I was not able to try the reel out took it out for the first time yesterday and realized this was a broken defective reel VERY DISAPPOINTED

Al Rapaport : ... speed narrow spool line of Penn reels are really awesome. They are very powerful and I use them ...

The Fathom 2 speed narrow spool line of Penn reels are really awesome. They are very powerful and I use them bottom fishing at least 20x or so a year. The low speed gives you incredible torque when winding up something heavy, and the high speed is good for retrieving and replacing baits, etc. I've had a couple of these in various sizes for 3 or 4 years now and they've performed flawlessly.

Tracy : Recommend

Recommend

Jennifer Carlson : Great value and smooth action.

This is the third of this reel that I’ve bought. Initially got one for husband to fish grouper in the Gulf. He loved it so much he said I needed one. And then we bought an extra for my 92 year old Dad to use. This reel for the money is a workhorse! It makes reeling in a dandy grouper a piece of cake with two gear options, often surprising us with the size of the fish when it gets to the surface. Low gear really helps get those big fish started off the bottom and out of structure. Love to fish lighter tackle and this makes it possible.

Lyzo : Works well

Love the two gears and made in the USA

Scuba Steve : Great reel for big game fish

Bought this to go fishing for big blue fin tuna . I have not had the luck to get hooked on one but my friend got the same reel and fought a 80lbs bile fin tuna with ease

Clem : Excellent piece of fishing technology

Real smooth, light weight, dual speed, big jobber pack in small product, fast and productive

Kody : In for repairs

Great success with 25n, I own 3 of them. I purchased a Fathom 30 2-speed and the 1st time out the dog (anti-reverse} went out in the high gear. I was able to still fish it in low gear. Maybe it was a lemon. I'm a loyal Penn guy 50yrs + No problems till now.

Steven A. : The Beast Master... at a value price

TB : Solid; Perfect for NorCal Bottom fishing

1) This is my second FTH15LD2 purchase as I love them!
2) It's solid and perfect for lingcod and rockfish.
3) Drag is very smooth.
4) 2-speed is convenient towards end of day to ease winding up.
5) Lastly, it's a beauty ... a perfect match for Seeker Black Steel (or oldie American Series) rods!

Ja50n G : Quality !

I wanted quality and found it with this reel. Very happy with the performance, feel, and look. I recommend purchasing.

ricardo hill : Very nice reel. It's good to see Penn is in ...

Very nice reel. It's good to see Penn is in the front running with the evolving new equipment.
I would recommend highly and I will be looking at another size to add to my arsenal , soon.
In less than a year the biggest fish landed after a two hour fight was a thresher shark that weighed in at 175 pounds.
Ready for more battles with marlin and sailfish season just around the corner...I will buy another!

Eric : Great buy

Broke it in on my tuna trip.
Worked smooth and easy.

David M : Great reel, great price

Robdod : Clicker Button fell broke off reel after 1 use.

Reel felt nice in my hand and was light and smooth I thought it would be perfect for jigging and bottom fishing, How ever at the end of the day while washing and putting away the gear we noticed the clicker button had fallen off the reel and we could hear a part rattling around inside, promptly returned it to amazon today for a refund I was thinking of getting a Penn torque but now I am wondering about their lack of quality and quality control. The old Penn Senators were practically indestructible even after decades of use and now I have one break after 1 day, Sad.

tn : Wish there was a line guide.

Overall, very happy with it, the retrieval speed was excellent. reel a little heavy, but manageable. Nice if there was a line guide to provide even line put back. Broke it in with a nice 25lb yellowtail.

Robdod : Clicker Button fell broke off reel after 1 use.

Clem : Excellent piece of fishing technology

Real smooth, light weight, dual speed, big jobber pack in small product, fast and productive

Paul R. Rhodes : $5 in gear lube it’s just like new.

Saved at least $100, bearings are a bit loud. This is from sitting on the shelf for three years. $5 in gear lube it’s just like new.

Scuba Steve : Great reel for big game fish

Bought this to go fishing for big blue fin tuna . I have not had the luck to get hooked on one but my friend got the same reel and fought a 80lbs bile fin tuna with ease

Steven A. : The Beast Master... at a value price

Sasquatch74 : FANTASTIC

FANTASTIC!! Loved my first one I purchased 4yrs ago and still as good as the first time I used it….. so I bought SEVEN(7) more to outfit my entire boat’s capacity!! Well worth the money, BEST BANG FOR BUCK in my opinion!!????????????????????????????????????????????

Eric : Great buy

Broke it in on my tuna trip.
Worked smooth and easy.

Blake : Worth the price

Easy to crank, lightweight, and narrow spool makes it easy to guide line.

Naptown76 : Missing Cover

I like the reel but unlike my first order, I didn't receive the reel cover with this order. I'm upset about that, especially after spending nearly $300 on a reel.

Gary Anderson : Used it for Rockfish and now love it for yellowfin tuna

Really good, tuna trip last November 2019 to Guadalupe island used it for the first time for the 100lb + tuna, did absolutely great, casted well, drag exceptional. Ended up using it more than my talica reels.
Before using it for tuna it was super for deep rockfish.

you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
