Disappointed to not have left hand option
PFPENN® Fishing2 months agoHi Anatoly,
Thank you for your feedback—we completely understand your disappointment.
The PENN Fathom™ II Star Drag Casting Special Conventional Reel is currently available only in a right-hand retrieve configuration. We know how important it is to have gear that matches your preferred setup, and we’re here to help.
If you're looking for a left-hand retrieve alternative with similar performance, we recommend checking out our Fathom II Level Wind Conventional Star Drag Reels, which are available in both right- and left-hand models—such as the FTHII15LWLCLH (with line counter) or FTHII20LWLH (without line counter).
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service team—we’d be happy to walk you through the best options based on your fishing style and target species.
We appreciate you being part of the PENN community and hope to help you find the perfect reel soon.
