The Penn Fathom Lever Drag's heavy-duty construction and gear ratios make it a true workhorse. Sporting stainless steel pinion gear and gear train that has been drilled out for weight reduction, it's a necessity for any angler. Forged- and machined-aluminum spool with a full metal body and sideplates, this reel withstands the demands of saltwater exposure. It can handle extreme abuse whether bottom-fishing or casting live bait. Dura-Drag(TM) washers virtually eliminate drag hesitation under all drag loads. Line-capacity rings eliminate the question of how much line you have left when fighting fish. Three lines on the spool flange let you know when you have 1/3, 2/3 or a full spool of line. Five shielded, stainless steel ball bearings.
