Penn Fathom 40 star drag
« on: September 27, 2015, 12:37:51 PM »
Picked up a fathom 40 star drag to replace my sealines I shredded.

Impressed.

Went to grease frame screws and found tiny plastic washers between screw and frame. Should help keep them from welding together.

Took off the handle to grease the star drag and handle nut and washers. They were greased already.

Spooled it up and gave it a test session. Cast great but I might need to tame it a little with the brakes.

I might  get one, I really love my saltists  though.. maybe I'll play with one at a local tackle shop and make my decision from there.

So you've had the reel for a while now.. How do you like it? Been drooling over that reel for a good while now.
