PENN® Fathom®

Good line speed to handle turn ratio, should be really good for pulling up big fish from the ocean floor fast. I like the line counter and carbon drag system which is really smooth. Wondered why two red devices on the line counter and had to wait until I had the reel in my hands to find out. One is a given which is the counter reset. The larger red device under the counter window is a wiper to clear the inside of the window. Slide it to the right and a tiny squeegee appears! I used the additional screws and rod clamp parts to better anchor and stabilize the reel to the rod. Loaded 300 yds of 80 lb braid line and it all fit. Should give me lots of years of fishing enjoyment!

I'm just learning to cast reel. I went from a 9 foot pole to an 11 foot. THAT, made all the difference. My neighbor suggested that I put braided line on it. Incredible....Now, with a 3oz sinker, I can reliably cast over 130 yards. This reel is awesome.

great

My favorite catfish reels to date and I've owned many! Great drag, levelwind and a loud clicker when activated.

It is the best I have ever held. You can feel the quality. I love that it is easy to maintain
