The Fathom Level Wind heavy-duty construction and low 4.3:1 gear ratio make it a true workhorse and favorite of charter boat captains and hard fishing anglers. It is designed to handle extreme abuse day-in and day- out so whether you are bottom-fishing or casting live bait, the Fathom will stand up to the hardest fishing conditions. Versa-Drag™ By rearranging the sequence of the keyed metal washers and eared HT-100™ washers the reel can be set up for fishing a wide range of drag settings without additional parts. Line Capacity Rings Eliminates the question of how much line you have left when fighting a fish. The three lines on the spool flange let you know when you have 1/3rd, 2/3rd, or a full spool of line. Also if you respool often these lines give you a benchmark for backing your superlines with monofilament which will help eliminate wasted time and line. Versa-Handle™ Are you bottom fishing or trolling? Are you looking for power or speed? The Squall Lever Drag’s Versa-Handle system allows you to choose how long the handle should be in less than a minute (tools are included with each reel). Assemble the reel in the long position for more power or assemble in the short position for more speed. Full Metal Body A full metal body and sideplate keep precise gear alignment under heavy loads. Left Hand Retrieves The Fathom level wind is available in left hand retrieve models in 20 and 25 sizes
