Penn Fathom Electric Fishing Reel Kit – Buy Now

Cordless brushless power for deep-drop snapper, bar cod, flametail and pearl perch — built for Aussie reefs when depth, control and confidence matter.

Purpose-built for serious offshore anglers, the Penn Fathom Electric Fishing Reel Kit pairs proven Fathom II Lever Drag strength with modern electric convenience. It’s the solution for deep dropping, reef edges and rugged bottom country when you want consistent lift, precise depth control and less fatigue over long sessions.

The integrated lithium-ion battery frees you from deck cords and clutter, giving you true mobility from gunwale to gunwale. A high-torque brushless motor delivers smooth, reliable pulling power, while the digital line counter with auto-stop helps you return baits to the exact strike zone — whether you’re working ledges at 120 metres or probing canyons much deeper.

Penn’s full-metal body, stainless internals and Dura-Drag system take punishment in harsh saltwater, and the speed control dial, spool brake and manual override let you tailor the retrieve to current, weight and species. Ready to fish straight out of the box, this complete kit includes the reel, rechargeable battery and charger.

Perfect your presentation and lock up your next trophy bottom dweller with confidence.
