### Page 3 — 20 Fathom vs 40 Fathom slow pitch rods

**H1:** 20 Fathom vs 40 Fathom slow pitch rods
**Direct answer:** Both are 6'3" custom carbon fiber at $229.99 but target different depth bands. 20F = PE 1-3, 120-240g, 40-120ft. 40F = PE 3-6, 240-540g, 120-300+ft.

**Full spec table:** 12 fields including length, blank, jig rating, line rating, reel seat, guides, species, warranty

**Overlap zone:** At 100-140ft, either works — use 20F in <1kt drift with 150-200g jigs, 40F in 1-2kt with 240-300g

**Buy guidance:** Buy 20F if you fish 40-120ft ledges. Buy 40F if you fish 120-300+ft. Buy both ($459.98) to cover the full Gulf depth spectrum.
