Being a workhorse reel is nothing new for PENN® and the Fathom Star Drag reel joins the Fathom Level Wind as equipment that enjoys the labor of landing a large fish. The reel features anon level wind design perfect for jigging, casting, and some trolling applications. The Fathom is not just built for the rigors of saltwater; it will also cast very well The Live Spindle™ design allows the spool to spin independently of the spindle and pinion gear, reducing friction of the spool when casting. The result is longer casts and smoother retrieves.
A full metal body design provides legendary PENN durability. A machined bronze main gear with stainless pinion gear, 5+1 shielded stainless steel bearings with instant anti-reverse generates smooth retrieves. The Versa-Drag™ system includes HT-100™ washers for smooth drag under heavy loads and the centrifugal brake system is internally adjustable for remarkable cast control. The gear ratio is 6.0:1 and the maximum drag with full spool is 25 pounds. The forged aluminum spool has convenient line capacity rings, keeping the angler aware of line remaining during the fight with the fish. |
