That information should have been in the instruction manual. Through trial and error, I find there are 16 clicks for the mags and I now know the direction to turn the knob to increase and decrease the mags.
Penn fathom 2 casting special manual#
The picture on the instruction manual appears to be a Fathom I and not the Fathom II. Moreover, there was no instruction in the literature that came with the reel. Plus, there is no dial or indication of which direction to turn the knob to increase or decrease the mag settings. Plus, the mag is very effective and works great, but the knob digs into the back of the wrist when reeling in. Let me say that I like the location of the knob and I like the fact that the clicker was moved to the top of the reel. Additionally, if I try to use the reel clamp, the screws are too close together in the reel seat and don’t fit over the rod. I cannot tighten the reel seat enough on my 13-foot rods to eliminate the slight wobble. First, the reel seat is a wee bit too small for larger rods and the reel wobbles in the seat.

Out of the box, the reel is fast and smooth and I like the looks, the feel, and the additional line capacity.īut I must say there are two design flaws that I would hope you pass on to the product managers and / or designers. I recently purchased the Fathom II 15 SDCS. I still have my original Squidder’s, Surfmaster’s, 970 and 980 Power Mags, the 525’s, Squalls, and four Fathom I’s.

First let me say that I am a loyal Penn Bigot having in excess of 50 Penn Reels from the early models to most recent for both surf and boat use.
