Most boat reels are designed with a lower gear ratio to help land some of the bigger fish you can expect to land whilst afloat. As well as a standard start drag there are a lot of reels now designed with a lever drag system which means you can adjust the drag by very small incriments to get the perfect set up. More are also now switching to continental style boat rods which can be up to 5m in length these are often paired with fized spool reels and are great for targeting smaller fish. A level wind is a sytem that guides the line on to the reel allowing you to concentrate on lading the fish is also available on a lot of models but this is really a personal preference.

Penn Fathom II FTHII 15 SD Mag Brake is a non levelwind high speed (6.1:1) multiplier. This model now features an adjustable magnetic braking system which allows you to quickly dial in the braking needed to suit conditions on the day. The FTHII15SD has the same spool size and capacity as the Penn 525 series which makes it just the right size for shore fishing with lines of 15lb to 25lb The magnetic braking and free floating spool means that the FTHII15SD is a well-controlled distance casting reel. The one piece metal frame, metal side plates, alloy spool, strong gears and HT100 drag help give the Fathom II FTHII15SD that solid and dependable feel which you demand in a hard-working multiplier reel. The combination of strong gearing and large power handle make retrieving fish and gear a doddle. From the boat they will cover general bottom fishing, lure work, jigging and uptiding.
Penn Fathom II Casting Special is a high performance reel for the shore angler who is looking for a reel to cast the maximum distance whilst still having the power to handle big fish and tough conditions. The reel is based on the Fathom's proven Full Metal construction with tough 6.1:1 precision cut gearing and Penn's powerful HT100 star drag system to give you the guts and power needed to pull fish and tackle back to shore. The addition of a factory fitted 'knobby' magnetic braking system gives total cast control allowing you to obtain the perfect setting to match bait and conditions. The live spindle free floating spool houses a pair of high performance spool bearings to help tune the reel to perfection. Just set the end float to give a hint of play, dial in the magnetic braking you need and the result is long trouble free casting no matter what the weather throws at you. The compact frame and forward slanted gearbox keep the reel seated low on the rod allowing you to get a good grip on the spool when casting. When it comes to retrieving your catch the large power handle and easy to adjust star drag make short work of landing even large specimens. Penn have opted for their 'blackout' cosmetics which help to give the reel a mean and purposeful look which matches its performance.
