Penn Fathom II 25 Lever Drag 2 Speed Overhead Reel:

The Penn Fathom™ II Lever Drag reels take a class-leading reel and raise the bar even more. Integrating the palm side plate and frame allows the Fathom™ II Lever Drag reels to be more compact in hand and increases strength. The Pull-to-Turn preset knobs allow the angler to truly set it, and forget it. At the Fathom's™ core is a stainless steel main and pinion gear and a forged and machined aluminum spool for maximum durability.

Featuring a Full Metal Body for durability, the Fathom® II Lever Drag series offers power and speed in a lightweight package. Unique Pull-To-Turn preset knob to eliminate accidental changes to the drag. These reels are engineered to be fished with superline and cover a wide range of fishing applications such as jigging, live baiting, and bottom fishing.

Uses:

• Deep-Sea Jigging: With its lever drag system, the Penn Fathom 25NLD is excellent for deep-sea jigging where larger fish like Kingfish or Tuna are targeted.
• Bottom Fishing: It can handle heavy sinkers and large baits for bottom fishing, making it great for species like Snapper, Hapuku, and Bass.
• Live Baiting: This reel is well-suited for live baiting techniques, where the strong drag is needed to manage fast, powerful fish.

Target Species in New Zealand:
Kingfish (Yellowtail): The Penn 25NLD's robust drag system and strong line capacity make it ideal for catching New Zealand's iconic Kingfish, which can be found around reefs and offshore structures.
Snapper: While often caught using lighter tackle, the Penn 25NLD is great for targeting large Snapper, particularly in deeper waters or when using heavy baits or lures.
Tarakihi and Gurnard: The reel is versatile enough for species like Tarakihi and Gurnard, commonly found on New Zealand's continental shelf.
Giant Trevally: Known for their strength, Giant Trevally are a popular target in New Zealand, especially around the northern regions. The 25NLDII can handle their powerful runs.
Albacore Tuna and Other Pelagic Fish: The reel's strong drag and line capacity make it an excellent choice for pelagic species like Albacore tuna, which are found in offshore waters.
