Penn FTHII30LD2 Fathom II 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel Review | J&H Tackle

[@taylorcaputo3013]

Penn's New stuff is looking really good!

[@RABBIT-EDC]

I love this reel. Caught some Bing Kingmackerel with it off a pier this fall. Can't wait for the spring run.

[@patrickbailey8906]

Love the fathoms especially the 40 N version

[@josephremarcik4250]

[@jandhtackle]

Thanks!

[@catladykelly]

Never fail to give the best and most detailed info

[@kylemoffett7859]

Just bought one. Can't wait to use it.

[@eternalabyzz9386]

let me know how it is man are you liking it so far?

[@trippingtommy3691]

I love my Fathom 25n, the 30 would be a great addition.

[@newhavenct4501]

I’ve subscribed to you over 2 years ago , love the John Skinner porgy and black fish tackle

[@boyfloria3104]

Strong, badass reel....

[@jandhtackle]

It is!

[@jorgradtke8219]

It's been on the Penn website for a while and I've had my eye on it. Big Penn fanboy here.

[@flash521]

I have considered this for a slow jigging reel. Ended up going Accurate BVD 500 N SJG 2 speed. I just haven’t heard enough from users yet about the reel will hold up. Hopefully it is a great reel for spj.

[@jandhtackle]

Good choice!

[@darrendwyer9981]

Hi Flash, I just purchased the 15 and 60 and everything said here is accurate. Its my first 2 speed reel and as I am getting on in age, the low speed feels great. The only thing I did notice was the fast speed even without line (straight out of box) DOES feel a little "laboured" but OMG, compared to the TLD 's I have able it maybe 9 years old now, it is a breeze. I hazard a guess that the fast speed it just for bringing in an empty rig but heading out is new boat in about 3 weeks off shore so will have more info for you. Cheers

[@flash521]

@@darrendwyer9981 Darren, I will be interested in what you find out as you experience the reel. Hopefully it will turn out to be a winner both in price and performance. -- The first fish I caught on my Accurate was about a 20 lb yellowtail. The reel is a dandy for sure. I haven’t had to try the second gear yet. -- Have a great outing. Catch some BIG ONES. 😀 🐟

Beautiful reel

[@dylon5x]

Nice looking reel

[@brucelawing6651]

Nice reel!

[@paulmerriman5222]

Sweet looking reel buying a 15

[@jandhtackle]

Good choice!

[@silvasvlogs5434]

The 15 and the 15N have two different drags correct?

[@westsidetj]

Great deal!

[@russelwurts4642]

I'm interested in the new fathom 80 II reviews

[@marcus_mark0pull090]

Think it’s strong enough for a blue gill

[@michaelgeorge3939]

How this compared to shimano ocea jigger f custom?

[@cottojn]

I want this reel

[@kevinmalavarca5468]

Looks good, can't wait to try one with that new handle. Kind of perplexed why the new 2nd generation would have a graphite lever...

[@GravyHucker]

Ugh I was trying to figure out if it was plastic or not. Surprised they did that too

[@andrewmorke]

They wanted it to look more like the Shimano Speed Master 2.

[@ichibansoto]

Hit ‘em!

[@XNIPR_]

How’s is it casting wise from shore? Torium 30s really popular here for bait casting and Daiwa sha50 in Hawaii. How’s it compare to those?

[@cottojn]

This guy never answers questions don’t hold you breath buddy

[@miro5.072]

When are y’all gonna review an 80 of that model

[@verticalfishinghalmahera369]

Strong😘

[@jandhtackle]

Yes!

[@florybutsuki4854]

I’m the first to watch and comment this nice video. Great content

[@jandhtackle]

Appreciate it

[@dinodon1]

Why not review the whole line in one video?

[@jandhtackle]

Used to do that and people like it by model instead. Can focus on one thing that you are interested in.

[@hunteralleman8834]

Would the 60nld make for a good chunking/live bait reel for yellowfin tuna?

[@PACOLOCO559]

Do you have then in stock? Going straight to your website

[@loydberryhill9550]

Nice reel ,how much...

[@josellp4132]

👍👍👍

[@dawnpatrol8228]

What is your recommended size for slow pitch?

[@dinodon1]

Wheres 40?

[@jandhtackle]

What do you mean? The review?

[@dinodon1]

@@jandhtackle yes Also reviews of single speeds.

[@alliho2243]

Wonder if they're going to make a single speed reel in the two narrow sizes?

[@tunanorth]

Single speed will come in 10XN, 15, 25N, 30, 40N, and 60N sizes. The 40N and 60N models will be billfish specials.

[@andrewmorke]

Machined or cast aluminum frame?

[@tunanorth]

Cast

[@jandhtackle]

Hi

[@FatBoyAngler]

Do they come in lefty?

[@tunanorth]

Lefty coming out in 15XN, 25N, 30, and 40N sizes.

[@jimcatanzaro7808]

Star drag is better

[@구름따라바람따라-d1j]

If you don’t go tuna… yes…. Star drag is better….
