There around the £650 mark some have picked them up for around £550 from the uk, Germany sell them a bit cheaper seen them at £450 but never in stock.

just a quick update on that penn fathom 25, what a reel went over the field with it loaded with berkley xts 45lb using a 4 oz weight on and my 6 and bait rod reason why im using 45lb line is i fish the rough stuff in the winter and hate putting new shockleader on, i could have used braid but thats not for me ,

And wow smashing it well past the 130 yrd mark, the reel was pulling the lead out the damp mud, ive put abec 9 bearings in and it has a knobby on, wont be going back to my 535 any time soon, one downside to the reel is its a narrow spool so the spool sits high, so i might have to get some rubber tubing for the winter so my thumb doesnt slip when wet,,,, hope this helps you out on deciding what reel to buy,
hears a few pics of the 25 next to the 15 so u can seee the size

I have the 25n steven.

I also use it for the rough ground and not for the boats lol.

use 35lb sensor and 80lb shocker.

an excellent choice for getting thick mono out a half decent distance.

did you do the mags?? good job there

I still think the Penn 535 take some beating when it comes to cranking over kelp.

liamwill you are right the 535 takes some beating, be around easy when me kids are in there 20s

I guess I am not up with the times, but I would venture to say an ABU 9000C is still one of the best rough ground reels IMHO.
