Title: trq25 vs fathom 25n
Post by: dchfm123 on May 25, 2013, 08:04:22 PM
I have a question.  Are these the same size reels or is the fathom 25n a larger diameter spool than the trq25.  The reason I ask is the trq has a 25 and a 25n.  They both hold the same amount of line so I assume the 25n is the profile of the fathom 25n and the trq25 is a lower profile reel with a wider spool.  Am I correct?

I really would like to stay in the fathom series but they have a large gap in size between the fathom 15 and the fathom 25n or 30.  What I need is in the middle.

Thanks in advance.

John

Will have to agree. Stunning little reel.

Spins like crazy. And it can box above its line class :)

Yes the TRQ 25 is a lower profile reel with a wider spool and the TRQ 25N and Fathom have a higher profile and a more narrow spool. Think of the 25N's as a narrow 30,
