The Fathoms had a little more drag Squall 30 and all aluminum vs graphite side plates (I think. Both about the same weight. Both nice reels Skip

Been fishing a Fathom 20 LWLH and I love it. My Squall 40 LH developed cracks in the composite frame after the warranty expired. I'll be getting a Fathom 25 LWLH for a take down travel rod that I need a winch for.Great reel for the price.
