Penn Fathom 25N Video Service Tutorial

[OptingOut]

Thanks so much for the tutorial!

What I did to stop the main shaft from spinning while tightening was to push a wooden paint brush (that I use to brush grease on) into the center and it held plenty enough to tighten down the star drag without any risk of marring/mashing.

One thing I noticed that I don't quite understand is that before I serviced my Fathom when I switched the eccentric the handle would flop down but now it doesn't. The anti reverse always seemed to work great and still does and I can't imagine what else was causing it?

Thanks for the tutorial!

Is the 2-speed model internal similar?

No, totally different as it is a lever drag reel. See my tutorial on the Fathom 15LD2 or Torque 25N LD2 for reference.
