Default Re: Penn Fathom or Avet?

I like my Avets, but for bottom fishing would choose a star drag reel every time. They can put out drag all day that would crush the pinion bearing on an SX or MX series reel. If your heart is set on a lever drage. one of the strong points of the Fathom LDs is that they use thrust bearings that are much more rugged than the bearings used in the small Avets.
