Penn Fathom Casting Special Vs Daiwa Saltist BG30

Dean Booker shares some thoughts on his recently purchased Penn Fathom Casting Special reels. Are they better than the now discontinued Daiwa Saltist BG 30's? Watch now to find out.

Just wondering why you would use the reel with the less drag for the bigger fish

[@mohdrostam8586]

sir, which reel power full for long caster..couse i'm like sport surf

[@hectoraiziczon8775]

un detalle a tenere en cuenta con el Penn Fathom II 12/15 SD es que no podrá utilizarlo en una caña con portacarrete a cremallera ya que el diseño del reel impide ajustar y cerrar la palanca de la cremallera. a detail to have in mind with the Penn Fathom II 12/15 SD is that you will not be able to use it in a rod with a rack reel because the design of the reel prevents adjusting and closing the lever of the zipper.

Why did Daiwa discontinued the BG and Hyperspeed. The new saltist 18 is great but daiwa are well known with the Black/Gold colour especially.

Good video. I rank my reels as follows for beach casting (best to least): Akios 757, Fathom II 15, Squall 15 (ABEC 7 ceramic bearings), Seagate 30H, Fathom 15, Seagate 50H, Fathom 25N, Fathom 30, and Fathom 40. The centrifuge brakes in the 30 and 40 size Fathom reels are ineffective, whereas the Seagate centrifuge brakes are much better. The magnetic brakes in the Penn and Akios make it easy to adjust for changes in payloads and wind conditions.

@@adamthomas4462 I think it for the American market. To me it looks like a Penn mag4 in the colour of a fathom, also sharing a fathom handle.

Penn ran out of them. New batch coming out in July.
