Most boat reels are designed with a lower gear ratio to help land some of the bigger fish you can expect to land whilst afloat. As well as a standard start drag there are a lot of reels now designed with a lever drag system which means you can adjust the drag by very small incriments to get the perfect set up. More are also now switching to continental style boat rods which can be up to 5m in length these are often paired with fized spool reels and are great for targeting smaller fish. A level wind is a sytem that guides the line on to the reel allowing you to concentrate on lading the fish is also available on a lot of models but this is really a personal preference.
The Penn Fathom LD is a modern compact lever drag boat reel which is light in weight but heavy in performance. The heart of any lever drag reel is the drag itself and Penn have fitted the Fathom LD with their Dura Drag system. Dura Drag contains a special Phenolic bonding agent that prevents the premature breakdown of the carbon fibre drag material whilst also providing a barrier to water. The result is a smooth and powerful drag which applies controlled pressure throughout the fight with fear of losing the fish through a jerky drag. To match the drag the Fathom LD has a strong full metal body and sideplates and stainless steel main and pinion gears. The 15LD is just the right size wreck drifting as well as general drifting and bottom fishing with 12lb to 20lb class gear.
Designed with a full diecast metal reel frame and side-plates to minimise any chance of gear torsion under pressure, machine cut, marine grade, bronze main gear meshing with a super tough stainless steel pinion gear, 5 + 1 shielded stainless steel ball-bearings for smoothness of operation, and a Versa-Drag system utilizing HT-100 drag washers for a totally smooth drag.
