At Sportfishing Gear, we are proud to feature the PENN Fathom Electric Reel, a true revolution in offshore fishing. Built on the legendary Fathom II platform, this is the first electric reel to feature a fully integrated and replaceable Lithium-Ion battery pack, completely eliminating the need for cumbersome power cords and external 12V batteries.
Why It’s a Game-Changer
-
Total Mobility: Move freely around the deck without being tethered to a power outlet—ideal for kite fishing, deep-dropping, or clearing lines quickly.
-
Extreme Precision: The digital line counter can be programmed based on your specific line diameter for incredible accuracy, powering a hands-free autostop feature.
-
Massive Power: Equipped with a high-torque brushless motor, it delivers up to 40 lbs of winding power, making it capable of everything from deep-water tilefish to targeting sailfish with kites.
-
Built to Last: Every unit is IPX6 sealed to protect the motor and battery compartments from the harshest saltwater spray.
Available Models
The Fathom Electric comes in three sizes to match your specific target species and depth requirements:
-
FTH30EL: Best for lighter applications like chicken rigs and kite fishing. It offers a faster 2.8:1 gear ratio and 30 lbs of max drag.
-
FTH50EL: A versatile mid-size option with a 1.9:1 gear ratio and 40 lbs of max drag, perfect for deep-drop rockfish or snapper.
-
FTH80EL: The heavy-hitter of the group, designed for serious deep-dropping with a powerful 1.6:1 gear ratio and maximum line capacity for depths up to 1,000+ feet.
Whether you're looking for the full kit (including battery and charger) or just a standalone reel to add to your existing setup, we have the specialized gear you need to master the deep.
