  • It’s been 6 months since we purchased these 2 amazing reels. So what is our verdict?
    Should you buy a Penn Slammer IV, or a Shimano Saragosa?

    Spot on. USA, Mid-Atlantic. My 6000 saragosa is awesome. It ain't afraid of whatever eats... have landed 3.8 meter sharks. Lot of deep wades..

      Undeniably an awesome reel!!! Will last forever if you look after it… and that noise it makes is just what sells it😍

    Love how well used these two reels are. I hate seeing reel reviews of shiny new reels.
    I beat up my gear, and my Saragosa is the workhorse that gets the most use by far!

      Hey bud🎣👌🏻
      Yeah, when doing a longer term review I guess it’s important that they are a bit beat up🤣 these reels are extremely well used, being our primary reels- and both of us are very rough on our equipment- it’s there to be abused🤣
      Glad you enjoyed the review!

    Great video, I have the Seragosa 10K paired with a 11’ Dark Matter CCC Surf rod and a Penn Slammer 4DX paired with a 10’ Penn Batallion 2 surf rod. Love them both for the Long Island NY surf.

    choices choices.... I am leaning towards the Slammer due to its IPX index and I have been told by some reliable provincial anglers that the Slammer is more durable and robust compared to the Gosa. however the Gosa is butery smooth.....

    • @untraceablefishing
      @untraceablefishing  Před 3 měsíci +3

      If anything… the Gosa noise is genuinely a selling point (and this is comparing my slammer)…
      If my slammer had the Gosa sound- it would be perfect!
      Trust me, fish next to someone who owns a Gosa, and all day everyday that noise gets you going!

    Penn slammer is more durable compared to Saragossa .
    Saragossa has only one pros that is it little bit lighter than slammer
    Rest penn takes away the show

    Slammer is rubbish. I hate mine and I'm not even fussy. The drag is garbage. It takes a zillion turns to do anything and is NOT smooth. The bail roller constantly jams and ends up shredding my line. My slammer is brand new but it is so bad I refuse to use it and it has put me off spin reels for life. I am 65 years old and been a surf fisherman all my life and I run a lot of gear. The Penn Slammer is the worst reel I own. It has cost me multiple big fish including my biggest for the season before I stopped using it completely. These are facts I have no reason at all to hate on Penn. My Penn 9/0 has never let me down and it's 40 years old.

    • @untraceablefishing
      @untraceablefishing  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Some guys have had this issue/similar with Penn. I don’t believe you are alone… one of our subscribers can’t stand them, his has given nothing but trouble.
      I’ve had a Slammer since 2016 and they’ve never skipped a beat, so for me- I can’t say I share your thoughts on it.
