Penn Fathom Level Wind Reel,
Sometimes we buy reels that we want to be delicate and sensitive, but more often than not we’re looking for a workhorse of a reel that can withstand hours of abuse on the water day in, day out. This
Penn Fathom Level Wind definitely fits the category of the latter and is one of the most heavy-duty reels available on the market today. With a low gear ratio of 4.3:1 this reel is highly regarded amongst the charter boat captains that patrol our coastline for its ability to perform whether you’re bottom fishing or casting with live baits.
The Penn Fathom Level Wind has been manufactured with a number of features that put it head and shoulders above the competition in the
sea fishing category. These include the lines of Versa-Drag. This is Penn’s unique changeable drag system that operates on a series of keyed metal washers and eared HT-100 washers. These can be arranged in innumerable sequences to allow you to fish on a wide range of drag settings – without the need to purchase additional parts. This is ideal for the angler who enjoys versatility without additional cost, as well as the angler who likes to change things up whilst they are out on the boat.
Versa-drag isn’t the only highly versatile feature of the Fathom Level Wind and Penn has also fitted this reel with Versa-Handle. This allows you to change the length of your handle easily and quickly, with all the tools you’ll need included with the purchase of your reel. Whether you’re bottom fishing or trolling, looking for slow burning power or sprinters speed, this reel can transform to do it all. The Fathom Level Wind also has three line capacity rings on the spool flange, eliminating the uncertainty over how much line you have left as well as aiding with re-spooling.
The
reel is encased in a full metal body and side plate, which helps keep all these fantastic features in full alignment, even when the reel is under extreme pressure. If you’re looking for a sea fishing reel which can withstand all the harshest conditions this Penn Fathom Level Wind is the reel for you.
