Anyone ever use one for surf fishing? I am interested in picking up another conventional for surf fishing for rays and sharks and found a great deal for a 30 size.

I have two Penn Fathom 30's, but just got them and have not put them to the yest yet, but my initial assessment is overwhelming positive. Pinoyfisher uses the Fathom 40 and loves it.

Do the 30 size have a line clicker on them?

Yes it does.

Good choice of a reel though I've never used one.

I like the saltist BG's, I've got 3 of them...

It figures though, was gonna get from Kittery Trading Post with their April fools promotion, but their website went down before I got home.

Get a Fathom? I picked up another Fathom 40 for $139.50 + free shipping. The price was too good to pass up.

I was looking at the 40, but felt it seemed a little more than needed for bats. What line do you run on your 40's Pinoyfisher?

I'll do 65# PP and 100yd topshot of 40#mono. Definitely not overkill for bats, besides, at that price why not? I also use the 40 for my jig stick slinging iron.

I have 2 Fathom 40's for less than $300!!! Seriously, that's an f'ing deal!
