Most of my fishing is freshwater and I have 5 of the original slammers. They’ve never let me down. They’re such a simple and well constructed reel and I think that they’re the best value for money reel by far. If I see them come on special in the future, I’ll buy another 5 of them. They’re that good.
Brilliant video mate. Love the comparisons of the older models. Really well put together.
Thanks for the video! Im still using my 260, 360 and 560 bought many, many years ago and haven’t had an issue yet. I do like the look of the new slammer 4 though and might pick one up just for the hell of it. Thanks again!
Thank you for the good content. Helpful.
Great review, I thought maybe you needed to add the weight comparison but a quick google search I guess could solve that! Your content is exceptional and your channel is so underrated... you deserve way more than 15.1k subs IMO 👍
Those reels can handle anything!! They are very strong reels!! 🤩💪❤️
Best out of the box review I've seen on the Penn slammer 4
Never had one Alan might look into them one out of lockdown another great video yet again
Very awesome review mate well done :)
Awesome review Alan 👍🏼. I might pick one up for the surf
enjoyed the trip down memory lane and many good years with Penn. From the info I got from Penn regarding The Slammer lll, the reel was optimally designed for tossing lures vs bait fishing. Optimal applications being lures in the heavy surf, lures off the jetty in rough waters, and for vertical jigging off a boat and kayak. Bait anglers particularly live bait anglers found the minimal drag setting perhaps to tight. As noted by the massive drag, the target species were also large fish where the tighter minimal drag would not be a huge concern. That being said, I have seen this reel used for everything even for throwing a crab snare, used to snag paddlefish and that type of fishing and downrigger fishing. Lots of applications where the minimal drag is not a big issue.
Already bought a 4500HS and 8500DX Slammer 4. Just waiting on there release/shipping sometime this month cant wait. Great video much love from the Florida Keys
Great video Alan, think I might have to buy one 😀
Nice reels, I was looking around to buy some penn 760 maybe...
Brilliant review well done, They do look very impressive, might be time for an upgrade LOL
Slammers are great just recommend the knob neoprene knob for cold mornings on the yak chasing snapper. Great vid Alan as usual
Thanks for that mate I had the option of getting a 3 Vs 4 today for 70 bucks so happy now I went for the 4!😬 Yesssss! I got the 10500 for trolling I'm so excited
Hello mate can't decide between slammers and saragosa which one do you think is better.
Just bought one for my first beach/rock setup. I got a 5500 and a 9”6 prevail 2, best review of this reel I have watched. Keep up the content
The drag clicker on the original Slammer is by far the best, The metallic 'ting' it makes on each click makes it sound just so beefy. The other 2 sound too plastic-ish. Wonder how many anglers upgrade or select reels based on drag clickers. On that note, the new Daiwa 21 Certate drags are something else.
