UNDERSTAND THE REEL

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.

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.

CHOOSE YOUR CONFIGURATION

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 Unpublished fields are explicitly marked.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.
