Penn fathom lever drags - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I was introduced to this reel by David Thiessen. I bought a Fathom FTH15LD2 2-speed based on his recommendation of the Fathom 15 single speed.

The 15 has 20 pounds of drag and is easy to maintain.

I prefer a lever drag (vs. star) for slow trolling a bait while kayaking.

I will save my Trinidads for fishing a little higher off the water.
