 The Single Speed Pen Fathom Lever Drag offers you superior power and speed all combined in this incredible, lightweight and attractive red package. This reel is designed to be used for fishing applications like jigging, bait and bottom fishing. Retaining what is standard for pen reels, the durability and reliability is substantiated by full metal body and side plates, stainless steel main and pinion gears and five shielded stainless ball bearings. Internally, pen have included what they call the Dura Drag, which includes a large drilled gear inside the oversized gearbox, reducing weight but not sacrificing on the smooth and powerful performance of such a small reel. As expected, there is a ratchet switch for those who need noise. The large rubberised handle is complemented with just the right size of arm for cranking or finesse and the double dog ratchet and to reverse eliminates any back play in the handle and is twice as strong as a typical single dog system. The lever drag swipes easily with your thumb from completely free spooling to 13lb at strike, 16lb at full and then 20lb of drag when the sunset setting is activated using a push in button to swipe the drag lever past. Designed for braid or mono, the spool offers a huge 415 yards of 30lb braid or 200 yards of 20lb monofillum. Capacity rings are engraved into the spool's sides to gauge how much braid or mono you have left on the spool and the spool is complemented with a tie point. Gear ratio is 5.3 to 1, which provides a quick retrieve, bringing your line in at a massive 27 inches per revolution. Provided in the box are the necessary parts for clamping the reel to the seat and maintaining your reel. A long lifespan is expected from the Fathom reel, which is corrosion resistant and can handle regular punishment from the pros or just the occasional outing from those more casual users. This lever drag version is the first for the Fathom series of pen reels. Larger sizes are now available too. Seriously consider this value for money professional reel for all users.
