The Fathom is a solid, dependable and powerful two speed drag reel from Penn. It's perfect for boat fishing and is built for extreme cranking power on big fish. It's also outstanding value for money for the amount of performance you get. You could be reeling in big Halibut, Dogfish or Bulls with thicker lines and braids but the drag is super smooth which is baffling despite the reel's size and lightness. Penn seem to have a knack of designing great reels that are easy to handle.
It's hard to fathom how this little powerhouse achieves so much, however all this is possible through features such as a metal body, stainless steel gearing, and Penn's proprietary Dura-Drag system. Dura-Drag endures frequent heavy use and can easily withstand high levels of heat generated during big tussles with fish. This is possible through a proprietary bonding agent that prevents breakdown of the material while also providing a water barrier.
The Fathom's drag is system is treated with a special formula developed by Penn engineers through extensive testing and research. This formula improves drag performance, providing a barrier to prevent water damage and gives a smoother feel throughout the drag run. The beauty about this reel is that you don't need to apply grease because Penn's special formula has already been applied. Therefore the combination of superior drag components, Penn's special formula and exceptional engineering make the Penn Fathom's lever drag one of the best ever developed.
The stainless machine steel gear doesn't get much tougher, while the Fathom maintains a light weight thanks to the drilling-out on the gears themselves. The 2 speed system allows for a nippy retrieve ratio when working your lures, shifting down for power when you get into the fight. The Fathom is available in 2 sizes.
