What to know before you buy.
Fathom II Lever Drag 2-Speed combines a one-piece aluminum frame with a low gear you can select when the load builds. Narrow and extra-narrow models matter for spool handling, while left-hand versions keep the handle where you prefer it. This is the two-speed family, not the star-drag or single-speed Fathom.

- Format
- Conventional
- Configurations researched
- 12
- Water protection
- No waterproof rating asserted
Published specifications, not test measurements. Maximum drag is not a recommended fishing setting.
The appeal
- Two selectable gear ratios
- Narrow spool configurations
- Selected left-hand models
The compromise
- Manual line lay
- More controls than a basic star drag
Who should consider it?
Boat anglers seeking a two-speed lever drag for live bait, jigging or bottom fishing.
Buying used? What to check.
Confirm exact generation, retrieve hand, spool, service history, internal corrosion, and all modifications. “Refurbished” needs a named refurbisher and a written description of the work and warranty. A used price is not comparable with a new manufacturer price.
Open the inspection checklist →Sizes & specifications
10XN and 15 sizes are the compact choices; 25N–40N step up capacity without a very wide spool; 60N and 80 serve larger line-capacity needs. Set drag for the complete rod, line and leader system.
All distinct configurations listed in the checked US manufacturer family table; color-only duplicates omitted. Weight and line recovery are supplemented only where an exact model match appears in the Australian manufacturer table. Unpublished fields are explicitly marked. Maximum drag is a published ceiling, not a suggested fishing setting. Australian recovery is listed for high gear only. Its apparent 10XN model-code typo was not matched to the US reel.
On a phone, tap a model to open its specifications. On larger screens, scroll across the comparison table. Capacity units and high / low ratios remain as published.

About these prices and links
Snapshot checked . Prices and availability can change. No lowest-price claim: comparable retailer offers are not connected.

Used and serviced/refurbished buttons open eBay searches, not verified individual offers. Confirm the exact model, condition, current price and availability with the seller. Payment, shipping and returns are handled by the seller.
