Re: Penn Fathom or Avet?
I purchased a Penn Fathom several years back for deep water bottom use , since then I've purchased a couple more due to a very simple fact the reel has survived over 100 trips for a variety of species w/o issues !
It was to be a back up for my several Saltigas but now they R my go to reels & use the Saltigas for jigging cod or tuna !
I to prefer star drags as well & after bottom fishing for over 15 seasons with several Daiwa 50 h's levers drags which R a super reel I can't honestly say why, both system worked fine for me . Probably because the stars R narrow spools which I prefer as well .
