The line rings on spool are for percentage of line out / spool capacity . eg 1st ring from top indicates 1/3rd of line is out OR 2/3rds of the spool is full. Not a distance indicator as there are to many variable with that.
I really like those brakes. Not magforce z or svs infinity but still better than straight magnetic. My lews custom speed spool has brakes like those but only 4 opposed to the penns 6. May need this reel.
I would guess a MH to Heavy rod. I’m no expert here but look for something that can throw the lures you want. There is an excellent UA-cam channel called “SaltStrong” that fish like this. Check them out they could help
@@gera9910 depends on where you want to fish also. But generally a 7 foot rod is good for bays and backwater situations for reds. You don't need anything too big for that size redfish. Personally I'd use 10lb test braid, a medium action 7' rod and the Penn for where I'm from, the Gulf coast of Florida. Maybe use 15 or 20 lb line if you don't have much experience.

Makes more sense
Looks good Adrian...
I may get the 200 or 300 model for Giant Snakeheads, Barramundi and Mangrove Jacks

I no longer own it as I developed arthritis in my elbow and it’s a bit heavy but my mate has it now and loves it. Great piece of kit
Liked the unboxing review really comical and informing "but" 😅 now I've to go price it.
What's the best rod to pair it up with?
Depends what you want to fish for
@@TheConstantAngler big red drum, mabey 15-25 lbs

@@comfortablynumb9342 thanks man I will.
Left crank (301)?
Never seen a 301
The n01 scheme is a Shimano thing. The lefthand Fathom would be a 300LPLH.
TiN is Titanium Nitride, Adrain.😜
They should be good reels as they're basically rebadged ABUs.
Didn’t know that
Yes, the Doyo factory... Pflueger, Penn, Abu, Rapala's are made there... in Korea...
