This option means that for normal fishing the higher gear ratio is engaged meaning smaller fish and tackle can be retrieved at speed. This instantly changes the gearing from the high 6.1:1 to a lower 2.8:1. Conveniently positioned where the reel handle base enters the side-plate, is a push-in button. The big advantage with this reel is that it offers a 2-speed gearing option.
Penn fathom 2 15 casting special review full#
The retrieve ratio is a fast 6.1:1 recovering approximately 31-inches of line for every full turn of the reel handle. The gears are designed to withstand that huge direct pressure associated with fighting big fish that doggedly sit vertically below the rod tip requiring the angler to gain inches of line at a time by using short upward lifts of the rod and thus gaining line as the tip drops back. Maintaining the “built for strength” theme of the Penn Fathom 15, both the pinion and main gear are made from ultra-tough marine grade stainless steel. The capacity lines are incrementally designed so that at a glance, an angler fighting a big, fast running fish can tell exactly how much line he has left on the spool. Many anglers think these are only for loading the spool with line, but this is incorrect. The spool features line capacity rings marked at 1/3rd, 2/3rds and full capacity. The machined spool is from forged aluminium, again designed to give maximum strength, but also lightness. The advantage of this is that there is no chance of distortion when the reel is under massive pressure, either from a fast running fish, or more so when an angler puts full rod pressure on a fish that is hugging the bottom in deep water and refusing to budge. It features a full metal frame and side-plate. This is a compact, relatively lightweight reel, but it packs a huge number of features in to its build specification. Without doubt, current Penn reels are backed by a lifetime of experience, and this build know-how comes through in the Penn Fathom 15 LD2SP reel. Nearly 90-years on Penn reels are said to have more world and national records to their name than all other reel makes put together.
They made an instant impact being innovative, tough, precisely engineered and quickly gained a major share of the US and world markets. The Penn Fishing Tackle Company was founded in the USA by Otto Heinze in 1932.
