The Fathom II Star Drag in size 15 is built around a full metal frame and sideplates that hold tolerances under load, paired with a machine-cut marine-grade bronze main gear and hardened stainless steel pinion for smooth, durable power transfer. The fast gear access sideplate lets you pull the internals and service the Versa-Drag HT-100 drag system without a full teardown -- a practical edge when you're between trips. A Live Spindle design keeps the spool free-floating for long, effortless casts, and the built-in magnetic casting brake (standard on the 12 and 15 sizes) gives you tunable control over the cast. Thirty pounds of max drag and a 6.1:1 gear ratio make it a capable choice for pulling hard-fighting fish off structure or out of depth.
