Is a great little reel, have caught some pretty big fish with this. The amount of drag is the best thing about this reel. Only own Penn reels for a reason.

Great halibut reels
September 7, 2021
Cought lots of halibut high gear is awesome for retrieving 3# lead from 300ft. Low gear to bring in the Barndoor. Did not rock on the reel seat have the speed master also. Liked the penn better.

Best 2 speed lever drag reel for the money
August 5, 2021
I have 4 of these Fathom reels. Penn reliability. Plenty tough for big tuna.
Pros
- Quality. Price.
Cons
- The basic reel clamp provided does not have a hole off to one side to hook your lure. Not a big deal.

I am looking for a left hand 2 speed reel with 40 lbs of drag. does this reel come in a left hand model? thanks
1 Answer
Unfortunately, these reels don't come in a left hand retrieve. I would take a look at the Avet HXJ 5/2 MC RAPTOR 2-Speed Casting Reels - Left-Hand.
