or heard anything about it. I go to Penn's site quite often and this is the first I've seen of it. Can't find anybody selling them or any info.

Just went to Cabelas site and couldn't find it. They show the Fathom with the line guide but this is the new Fathom without the line guide. Penn's calling it the Fathom Star Drag.

Nice reel! I'm guessing the price ought to be about an arm, a leg, and the first-born son. ;D

I think they are going to be priced in the class of the Saltist and Torium. Much cheaper than it's machined frame brother the Torque.

Yep, this is the competition to the Saltist.  They took the levelwind off the fathom and made a nice lightweight reel.  I believe it is cast aluminum or graphite frame with a pretty decent size drag stack.  I think it is priced in the $180 area.  We'll wait to see what the insides look like.  :-\

They make a 25N that should be close.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.
