  • Big Muscle-Tiny Package
Style: Fth40nld
I took a friend's advice and bought a few Penn Lever drags. I have a variety of Tiagras, Avet's and Internationals-all of which still have their time and place. However, the Fathom, narrow, single-speed reels are just darned impressive. I am fishing heavier line from smaller reels when going after larger fish than any time in the last 20 years and have found this reel to be perfect for putting in time at the rail without the arm fatigue of my heavy metal reels. This is not a "cow tuna" reel, as any and all graphite reels tend to crack or break at the reel foot under prolonged extreme high drag pressure (which is simply the nature of a super stiff graphite frame), but it is a fair trade for less weight and less "wobble" compared to my "Big reels." In fact, I am certain that having aged a bit, that this reel produces more drag (#40lbs max) than I care to hold onto while fighting big tune; BUT, that high drag is just the ticket when locked-down for those last 30-50 feet to the gaff on a big fish. I use this for tuna up to 75-100 lbs; for bigger fish a 2 speed is easier on the arms and back, but the reel can and has handled tuna up to 150lb with perfect aplomb- if I do my part. Price point is terrific and it does not have that annoying Avet Reel whirring. ... show more

  • Good competitive reel
Style: Fth15ld
I have only gotten to do two trips with this real this past season. It does seem like Penn did a great job with this product. It is very smooth it seems to be durable and is relatively light. time will tell. Haven’t got to bring in anything big with it yet but it seems to be powerful by design. Seems like they did a good job to come up with something cheaper than their rival companies but still have good quality. As I mentioned before, this real has not gotten a lot of use yet. I have had penn reels that have been bulletproof for many many years and I have had some that have been problematic. This one looks simple enough that I think it will be a good one. ... show more

  • I love this real!
Style: Fth60ldhs
I love this real! It is dependable and has fast action. I bought a second Fathom real because I have had great success with my first one.

  • should've bought the levelwind
Style: Fth30ld (Left Hand)
Great reel. Landed a 45# King Mackeral. I think the level wind would have been a better choice. Constantly tending the line. Lever drag is excellent.

  • It's a PENN
Style: Fth40nldhs
I really like this reel - caught it on sale for 30 bucks less. Perfect size reel to horse up fighting bottom fish. Caught my limit on seabass within 2 hours of a 12 hour trip. I paired it with a PENN 7ft CARNAGE II with 80lb braid. It will be tested in the gulf of Mexico this summer.

  • Quality, Performance and Value From Penn
Style: Fth30ld
Used two new Fathom 30's for the first time recently fly lining live Ballyhoo for sailfish. The reel impressed my fishing buddy who is a die hard Shimano fan and uses high end Talica and Tiagra lever drag reels offshore. It has good line capacity, a very good drag system, good retrieve ratio (maybe a tad slow for kite fishing) and is a solid and smooth performer. Have two on Key Largo 20-30 custom standup rods for light to medium trolling duty from Dolphin to Sailfish in the Keys. An excellent reel at less than retail from through Amazon ... show more

  • Just what you expect from the best...
Style: Fth15ld
Bought this for my daughter. First time out using this reel, she caught a keeper sturgeon! She had no problem fighting this fish. Like using an automatic winch!

  • Very very nice reel, especially for the money
Style: Fth30ld (Left Hand)
Very very nice reel, especially for the money. Higher drag than most, lightweight, spool is super smooth, and good looking.. lever drag system functions exceptionally. I can push this into multiple roles. I use it for charter boats, jetty, shore. Dont be turned off because you want to cast, it'll handle pretty much anything your skill level can dish out. ... show more
