Upgrade to a Ocean Legacy Elementus PE5 | PENN Fathom 400 | New slow pitch jigging combo

Why not the 2022 Daiwa Saltiga 15H SJ reel instead of the Penn ?

The Saltiga is certainly a great reel, no doubt about it. The main factors in making my choice of the Fathom was a higher drag rating than the Squal I use on my PE3 and the upgrade was to get a stronger combo to stop some of the beasts we get up here and I love the low profile feel from my bass fishing days. Penn’s durability and price were also major factors.

If you do your reserch, daiwa has more drag than penn. 2022 Daiwa Saltiga has 23 lbs drag and Daiwa Leda has 28.7 lbs of drag. Daiwa has better engineering than Penn… I have plenty of penn. from slammer, authors their trolling line international models. And I switch to Daiwa. Better oversized digi gears, magsealed bearings, lighter, more capacity, more ergonomic, it’s just a way better reel than penn now. Even better than shimano
