how come it’s so hard to find the penn fathom size 15 in left handed version ?

nice review

Can you do a comparison between the rival and warfare

Self etching primer will work amazing

I have 25NSD in Squall, and in Fathom. The squall just sits unused. There really is no comparison when you use them both on big, tough fish like tuna or big sharks. You will be happier with the better version.

Does the fathom have a 2 speed button

Impressive

Very good break down and review. I've always used Abu 6500 Pro Rockets, but I've been thinking about trying some squalls. i appreciate that you took the time to tear em down and show the internals. Good job, i love that the Pro Rockets have true floating spools with for bearings, but the Penn seem like tanks when i have used them.

Hi, thanks for the nice and simple explanation. What are the sizes of the reels?

Nice job

I fish barbless hooks- smashing the barbs with pliers. They’re easier to remove from the catfish, as well as the incidental turtle. The problem is that the bait falls off easily. I cut roughly 3/16 to 1/4 inch wide rubber bands into equal length to width pieces with scissors and keep them in a ziplock baggie. After baiting, I pierce the square piece onto the hook and slide it to mid-bend. I can get several rebaiitings per piece. I don’t think that I really lose anymore fish compared to when I left the barbs on the hooks.

The problem that I have with this is that I did this to my c4 6601 reel which is the same as the 6600 but is left handed. Once you upgrade to this power handle it will eventually wobble on the reel after about an hour of fishing, even if you upgrade the screw to a hex screw as I saw in another video. I love this reel but getting a power handle for it is a pain in the butt.

Fathoms are way better at casting longer distance than the squalls in my opinion

Hi for me i like the penn squall 20 size

Good video for basic construction comparison Thanks for sharing.

Great job on the video thanks really enjoyed it

Both are great reels it's about the price

I used these with the Team Catfish weight slides to make a kzbin.infoUgkxdmsDj7fQXe77DC0l7P7ua8B3PiESUubM Carolina rig and they were perfect for the ponds I fish. I have also used them to make 3 way rigs and these work perfectly. Haven't had any issues with them snagging in rocks or in weeds yet.

Thanks for the tip bud that metal rod is way easier to load than the BB's I've been using.

It will always be the Penn fantom 2 now dout about it simples

You could put the screw eye directly into the steel rod and save the cost of the dowel, tubing and contact cement.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciate this video.

I've used them to secure treble hooks to each other on crankbaits and jerkbaits. It keeps them tight against the lure so they don't swing around loose.

I'd just like to add that the squalls don't have a backup anti reverse dogleg whereas the fathoms have both an anti reverse bearing and dog leg anti reverse in case the anti reverse bearing fails

Excellent idea,I priced everything,no way can build these for less than $3 a piece

I've used the Squall 20LW many times on the pier as my fighting reel for King Mackerel and it's more than enough.the key is maintenance.Caught a few good sized Cobia with it as well.

Loving the videos, keep up the good work!!!

Been seeing all your Facebook pictures and just stalking KZbin waiting on more videos!!

Can you cast the squall

Add some BBs to that and now it will also rattle

I've been running 1990's Daiwa sealine 47H reels, love everything about them "if" I could improve 1 thing would be more drag but they work for me

Ive used the Squall II 50LW to catch some nice sized stingrays here in Cali, biggest one weighing over 80 pounds its also great for hauling in some jumbo Dungeness!!! love casting this thing with 80 pound braid

I used the 5th one I dont like the hooks near my like so I can bring the lure right back to thee reel

Nice video

enjoyed very much.

Is the penn squall 20s good for bank fishing for flatheads ?

I don't like anything with a lot of moving parts iam a fan of the old school Penn reels

Great video

Iam looking into getting a squall

Great tips thank u

Awesome Details.. I found some used fathoms 20s I will be using live bait’s most of the time. I love free spooling clickers with some drag/tension pulling big baits in river’s 95$ a piece what’s your thoughts? Thanks for the video

I loved the video one of the best since Tackel advisors sold his soul to big corporate America The only thing i would suggest is get a little closer with the camera and light being able to see up close would be a lot better I hope you’re channel grows I’m a fan

Oh God no! When i take a reel a part all I end up with is a bag of parts..

I’d like to join the 10lb club! Good job guys

I would cover my face too if I openly had a TN fan on my boat! Lol nice job guys

Are the two guys in the front of the boat dining guests or can the help with chores in your boat

Which one would you recommend for bottom fishing for haddock, cod and pollock? About 2-300 ft.

WOW!!! This was a nice and tidy video. Straight to the point, no messing around and I learned something.

Nice job guys

brother~amazing !all the best-
