  • If you follow the channel you will know since the Penn Slammer III was released it has pretty much taken over my rod and reel arsenal almost completely. The Slammer has proved it self to be almost indestructible, lets see how the new Slammer 4 performs on some quality "trash" fish 😁

    I bought a cheap on special Penn rod, the warfare model in 3 to 6 kg and 7 foot and it's one of the best rods i've had. From day one I've increased my hook up rate no end. From catching small Tommies, garfish, whiting etc, to jigging for squid, which i cleaned up with using it the first time (7 in less than 1 hour). it's also been great on good sized salmon as well

    I always enjoy watching you fish those waters, I've seen you catch many mack tuna, although they aren't popular with your family for eating they sure do fight hard, good looking fish too! Just heading into winter here, snow coming soon, looking forward to your summer fishing videos. As always, great video quality and production, thanks and take care.

    Thank You VERY Much for Your gentle touch, "Nice" is the word, I guess. And a REQUEST - an annual vid inventory update of Your Rods, Reels, and Lines - more "One to Rule", pls. Sometimes changes come quickly. As a beginner saltwater shore angler with 60-plus years as a hardcore Rocky Mountain fly fisher, I cannot get enough of Your type of content - well-thot-out & trustworthy from a gentleman. In that lite, perhaps some separate vid with Your lens deep in Your everyday tackle. Regardless, Thanks Again, Rod.

    I've "used" daiwa, shimano abu's okuma's etc etc etc pretty much all of the brands. Penn is the most durable in my experiences. Great company overall they are for the fisherman. That's my general impression I have gotten from using them and using their customer service. I almost exclusively only use Penn now. Customer service HAS to be on par with the product. I have usually got shamed and was told it was user error time and time again from a lot of companies.
