I have the 60ld spooled with 100lb braid. So far I have caught one small bonito and two 25-30lb dorados. The reel has held up great other than a small grinding noise after the last fishing trip. I think it is partially because of the guy that used it. He piled up the line on one side of the reel, but it seems to still be working fine other than the noise. I set the drag at 20lbs for the strike and I have not had to go above strike as of yet. Still waiting to test it against a big tuna or marlin, but I have no doubt it will hold up just fine. I recently topped it with 100 yds of 80lb mono to make things easier with tangles so more to come. If you are on a budget this reel will do the job for very nicely for anything 100lbs and below. I highly recommend it!

this is what happens when they don't actually test their product in the real world. The weak handle design and the silver paint was a horrible idea.. yes it looks better but it starts chipping off after the first use and by the end of the season...horrible. I have and use penn reels from 20 years ago and I doubt these new fathoms will last me a couple of seasons. bummed because I try and stick with Penn but doesn't look like I can anymore.
