A reel series designed for general fishing and incorporating a stainless steel level-wind system that automatically lays the line evenly on the spool. They offer a gear ratio of 4.3:1 to really pressurise big fish, but have a diecast metal reel frame and side-plates, a forged aluminum spool, plus bronze main and pinion gears, all co mbining to give total Strength and lifting power. These reels also feature a proven HT-100 drag system, four strategically positioned stainless steel ball-bearings to s mooth the retrieve and spread overall load. Though ultimately tough, the Fathom is also light in weight and compact in size.
