The all-new Penn Fathom II 2-Speed Lever Drag Reels represent the evolution of a class-leading platform, engineered for serious offshore anglers targeting tuna, yellowtail, and white seabass. By integrating the palm sideplate directly into the frame, Penn has created a more compact, lighter, and stronger reel that delivers exceptional performance when it matters most.
Imagine fighting a hard-charging yellowfin on the troll—the Quick Shift II 2-speed system lets you transition instantly from high-speed retrieve to low-gear power, while the Pull-to-Turn preset knobs ensure your drag settings stay locked exactly where you need them. The one-piece frame construction eliminates flex under load, and the stainless steel main and pinion gears provide the durability required for season after season of heavy use.
Important Note: Penn recently updated the handle design on 2-Speed Fathom reels from the power handle to a football handle and removed the ported sections for increased strength. Our inventory includes both versions—product images are linked to each variant to show you exactly which handle style you'll receive.
Key Features:
- Full metal body and sideplate construction
- One-piece frame and palm sideplate for reduced weight and increased rigidity
- Removable top spacer bar and lugs (60 and 80 sizes only)
- Stainless steel main and pinion gear
- Quick Shift II 2-speed system for instant gear changes
- Pull-to-Turn preset drag adjustment
- Dura-Drag washers for smooth, consistent pressure
- 5 shielded stainless steel ball bearings
- Double-dog ratchet anti-reverse
- Line capacity rings for quick visual reference

An exceptional value in saltwater conventional reels, the Daiwa Seagate delivers a premium component package — aluminum spool, metal star drag, and a composite frame — at a price point that makes it one of the most capable conventional reels available for the money. The aluminum spool provides the rigidity and heat dissipation needed for sustained drag pressure on hard-fighting fish, while the light yet strong composite frame keeps the reel comfortable for all-day use on the water. The metal star drag is smooth and features a positive click that lets you know if the drag has been accidentally adjusted during a fight — and locks the star against vibration from the boat.
The Seagate's drag system handles heavy braid-to-topshot setups well beyond its rated line capacity — the 65–80 lb braid with topshots up to 80 lb is a proven setup for tuna, yellowtail, and white seabass. Excellent castability makes it effective as both a live bait rod reel and a jig stick.
Key Features
- Aluminum Spool — Rigid aluminum construction provides the strength and heat dissipation needed for sustained drag pressure on hard-fighting saltwater species; more durable than graphite spools under heavy load.
- Metal Star Drag — Smooth drag with positive click detents that indicate drag adjustment and lock the star against vibration from the boat; prevents accidental drag changes during a fight.
- Light Composite Frame — Strong yet lightweight composite frame keeps the reel comfortable for all-day use; balances durability with weight for extended fishing sessions.
- 3CRBB + 1 Bearing System — 3 corrosion-resistant ball bearings plus 1 roller bearing for smooth, reliable operation in saltwater environments.
- High-Speed Retrieve — 6.1:1 (20H/30H) and 6.4:1 (35H–50H) gear ratios for fast line recovery on live bait and jigging applications.
- Heavy Braid Capable — Handles 65–80 lb braid with topshots up to 80 lb for tuna, yellowtail, and white seabass applications beyond the rated mono capacity.
- Dual Application — Excellent castability makes it effective as both a live bait rod reel and a jig stick across all 5 sizes.

Size Selection Guide
- SGT20H — 14.3 oz / 15.4 lb drag / 40–50 lb braid: The lightest, most compact Seagate. Ideal for lighter live bait applications, rockfish, and situations where a smaller, lighter conventional reel is preferred. 6.1:1 gear ratio.
- SGT30H — 15.0 oz / 15.4 lb drag / 40–50 lb braid: Slightly more line capacity than the 20H with the same drag and gear ratio. Best for yellowtail, calico bass, and medium saltwater species on 40–50 lb braid.
- SGT35H — 20.4 oz / 19.8 lb drag / 50–65 lb braid: Steps up to 6.4:1 gear ratio and 19.8 lb drag for heavier applications. Best for yellowtail, white seabass, and medium tuna on 50–65 lb braid.
- SGT40H — 21.3 oz / 19.8 lb drag / 50–65 lb braid: Maximum line capacity in the mid-size range (50/490, 65/430). Best for situations requiring more braid on the spool for deeper water or longer runs.
- SGT50H — 21.9 oz / 19.8 lb drag / 80–100 lb braid: The largest Seagate with 80/460 and 100/360 braid capacity. Best for larger tuna, grouper, and applications requiring the heaviest braid and maximum line capacity.
Best For
- Tuna — SGT40H and SGT50H with 65–100 lb braid capacity and 19.8 lb drag handle medium tuna; proven with 65–80 lb braid and topshots up to 80 lb.

Precision-Engineered Versatility for Serious Anglers
The Avet JX G2 Lever Drag Reel delivers exceptional versatility through optimized line capacity, powerful drag performance, and a narrow-spool design that excels in both vertical jigging and casting applications.
Why the JX Profile Matters
The JX's taller, narrower spool design offers distinct advantages over the MX series:
- Faster line retrieval: Increased spool diameter delivers more inches per crank without sacrificing torque
- Easier line management: Narrower profile reduces side-to-side travel when respooling
- Vertical fishing advantage: Optimized geometry for deep drops and rapid retrieval
MC Cast Control System
Five magnetic settings (1-5) provide precise spool control during the cast. Higher settings reduce backlash risk and actually increase distance—especially valuable for anglers transitioning to conventional reels. Setting 1 offers maximum spool freedom; Setting 5 delivers maximum control.
2-Speed Advantage
Switch to low gear when fighting circling fish near the boat. The increased torque lets you rest the rod on the rail and crank steadily against horizontal resistance—less fatigue, more control, better hookup-to-landing ratio.

The completely redesigned Daiwa Saltiga LD 2-Speed Lever Drag Conventional Reel delivers the smoothest, most powerful, and most dependable two-speed lever drag platform available for saltwater anglers targeting yellowtail, tuna, white seabass, and big game species from inshore to offshore and the canyons. The two-speed design gives anglers the ability to shift from high gear for fast line recovery to low gear for maximum cranking power when a large fish goes deep or surges toward structure — the critical advantage in the toughest fights. Built on a one-piece machined aluminum frame and side plate with 6CRBB corrosion-resistant bearings, ATD drag, and Digigear precision.
Key Features
- Two-Speed Gear System — High gear for fast line recovery and low gear for maximum cranking power; shift between gear ratios instantly during the fight to match the demands of the fish; critical advantage when large fish go deep or surge toward structure where maximum torque is needed to turn them.
- One-Piece Machined Aluminum Frame & Side Plate — Machined from a single piece of aluminum for precise alignment of bearings and gears; eliminates flex and binding under heavy drag loads; oversized, super-hard, polished and meshed stainless steel main and pinion gears drive the kicking gear with extra strength and nearly silent precision.
- 6CRBB Corrosion-Resistant Ball Bearings — Specially treated stainless steel bearings with a protective shield on the bearing race that seals out sand, fine grit, salt crystals, and other abrasives; lasts 12 times longer than standard stainless steel bearings in saltwater environments.
- ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) — Improved drag grease with low viscosity at rest that becomes more viscous immediately after drag startup; reduces initial drag startup inertia for a smoother drag from the initial hookup; combined with structural ATD system changes for consistent drag pressure throughout the fight.
- Digigear — Digitally engineered gear design ensures a perfect mesh between ultra-tough alloy drive gears and marine bronze pinion gears; optimized for speed, power, durability, and smoothness across the full gear range.
- Large Spool Bearings — Oversized spool bearings reduce side load so anglers can concentrate on fighting fish rather than managing the reel; contributes to the smooth, powerful retrieve under maximum drag pressure.
- Saltiga Executive 5-Year Warranty & Free Clean/Service — Industry-leading 5-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects plus a free 5-year clean and service for the original owner; expedited return shipping (2nd Day Air or Priority Mail) included.
