Is Penn going downhill?
Bought a new Penn Fathom10 ENLD, reel has play in handle and in the spool also when in freespool. Never had a problem with a Fathom. The old Fathom star drags are not available, I have some and they are bullet proof! Does anyone have any issues with the Fathom II's? Not impressed with this reel. Sending it back and buying U.S. when a get a little more money. Maybe Seigler.

If handle has play possibly the cap nut needs to be adjusted . I have a bunch of both styles and they are issue free

I know the Fathom II is still available. The original Fathom star drags are not, unless they're leftovers.

Re: Is Penn going downhill?
I have a pair of the original Fathommodels 25 N ‘s !
I use them primarily for wreck and deep jigging ! I don’t use them more then 6/7 times per year for the past several years ! Plus some block Island striper fishing . So far about 6-8 seasons on them with not one issue , drags decent . I keep them cleaned and grease never rinse them in water , so if the 2’s are improved then it’s one helluva reel and not that expensive . I’m comparing them to various Saltigas I use on occasion .
