Many of you have seen me out on the water with the field test models of the long-awaited "Low Profile" Fathom LP500.
I have been using it since February, and have caught everything from yellowtail, to lingcod, to yellowfin tuna with it [no wahoo though, darn it].
I've thrown poppers, surface iron, yo-yo iron, even bait with it.
Two gear ratios, a 4.5-1 [29 IPT] model and a 6.7-1 [43 IPT] model.
Max drag on both versions 25 pounds, 19.1 ounces.
