Post by: mizmo67 on April 11, 2012, 08:37:06 PM
No time to reformat from html to forum code, so posting a link to the walk-thru instead.
Hope you find it helpful.

Penn hit the mark with the Fathom series. Lots of metal in the right places and excellent design.

Thanks Mo.  Love the drag stack of that reel.

Does MysticParts stock Fathom parts yet?  I'm trying to get a set of gears and Penn said they won't have them for at least a month.  It looks like all of the non LW FA reels use the same gears.

I think we have most of them.

Penn typically brings the reels over but doesn't plan ahead and bring the parts at the same time.

We try to get parts in as soon as we are able. If Penn isn't on the ball, we buy several of the reels new in the box and break them down into parts if we have to.

Now that's customer service. ;D
Nice one Mo.

I know this is a old thread, but have anyone heard any issues on the levelwind assembly?

is as good and study as the ones on the 320gti/330gti reel?

So far, no major design problems reported on the levelwind. Not seeing anything other than standard wear on the reels over time.
Levelwind system seems as good as the GTi, if not better.
