Penn 1292933 Fathom 30 Lever 2-Speed Lever Drag Fishing Reel

These reels are unbelievable. You won’t find a better reel for the money. Unbelievable value. Super smooth, very strong and the 2 speed is easy to engage. I have numerous types of saltwater reels. But the Penns are the most reliable and cost way less. Penn for life.

What can I say. Its a PENN. Good Quality, easy to use and the best bit. It does what it says on the box. Good services and delivery.

I really love this reel, the two speed and lever drag combined make things extremely easy to fight a big fish. Just took it out and caught a 48 lb. Bluefin (+ many Yellowfin in the 20 lb. class) The two speed allows you to get a slight break while reeling in a big fish by changing the gear ratio. You don't make as much progress, but it can give you a few minutes of ease, then drop it back down and continue the fight. (not sure if that is it's intended purpose or not). Also I really like the lever drag, this makes things really easy, you can always have the drag slightly engaged or increase it on the fly with a simple touch. It also happens to be one of the easiest level-wind reels I have ever used to cast. I can easily cast 20-30 feet with a small anchovy and heavy line (with a little practice). The reel is also extremely lightweight, and compact, but extremely durable. Lot's of room for plenty line too. I love it, and am glad I purchased it. Ill probably get another one (or maybe a couple more in different sizes).

Superb reel, you won't be disappointed.

Good quality product
