Line Counter models available on 15, 20, and 30, in both right and left-hand.Reinforced Levelwind eliminates insert pop out.15 size comes with double paddle and single power handle assemblies for casting or trolling.4+1 Shielded Stainless Steel Bearing System.HT-100 Dura-Drag washers provide long lasting smooth drag, even under extreme drag settings.The Fathom II was designed as a levelwind reel with a model for every angler with the durability and ease of maintenance Penn is known for! This allows anglers access to the entire gear box without worrying about losing springs or other small parts. The sideplate on all Fathom II models is easily removed by removing 4 screws. The Fast Gear Access Sideplate was implemented with the intention of making self-servicing a more realistic option for many anglers. Penn recognized that conventional reels are difficult to service and anglers often find themselves without a reel while it is at a shop or back at the factory for maintenance. The key addition in the Fathom II is Penn's Fast Gear Access Sideplate. Although it may turn out to be like owning 2 great cars but one is simply more fun to drive.New for 2018, the Penn Fathom II Level Wind reels make a number of improvements on the previous generation, which was well received as one of the most durable and castable star-drag conventional reels in its class. So I got the Shimano now and I'm sure they are as good as so many think they are. Same deal can't get them until next spring like all the other retailers. I was contemplating returning them however they have no Fathom 15 size in RH to exchange them with. He said he has never had a Fathom 2 in his hands when I asked him but that all the Tekotas he has have been stellar reels for him and strongly believes these are the best yet. I'm not blaming Emil because it was my decision. Overall I'm not sure I made the right decision after spending $677.
The left side counter isn't as much of a hindrance as I thought it might be however I still prefer the right side LC on the Penn. The auto engage takes 3 times the effort when I turn the handle to pick up the spool which I really don't like because it's easier flipping the lever by hand. honestly they seem like they have sand in them when winding compared to the super smoothness of my Penn Fathom 2. don't get me wrong it is a nice reel but. Emil would make a great car salesman because he sure sold me. After much thought I took advice who's recommendation I totally respect so decided to bring home 2 new Tekota 500 HGLC reels today.
