    Penn casting special

    Both reels will serve you well mate, the Fathom being a bit more robust but the 7HT Mags are very nice, just get one of each. ;) Ian.

    The plan is to spool the reels with the Trabucco line, 30lb 0.32, normally use Asso Ultra Cast 16lb 0.32 or Varivas 15lb 0.35. Ian.

    That's hard to say mate, as I have never used a FS reel, but multi's do tend to go further overall. But distance is not the be-all and end-all, but does help at times i would say. (y) Multipliers are a learning curve if you have never used one.;) Ian.

    The reels have chromed brass side plates, just like my Abu chrome rockets, and pretty descent build quality, they weigh 400gms, so not quite as heavy as the rockets. :) Ian.

    Penn casting special

    Biggest gripe for many users was the position of the mag knob I believe. I have the Penn Fathom II 15 SD's, very similar reels. Ian.

    Asso tapered line?

    FS is short for "fixed spool", the reels you are using mate. Ian.

    25 lb nylon

    Asso Ultra Cast do 25lb in 0.40, so slightly thinner. I use the 16lb 0.32 myself, and Varivas 15lb 0.35. (y) Ian.
