Best reel I own
June 16, 2022
The slammer 4 2500 is a beast. I primarily kayak fish the salt and these reals are perfect. They are smooth and refined but held up to a beating. I have a pair of the newest spinfishers that also have held up. I have gone through diawa bgs, Stradics, and a few other reels that we’re smooth as butter but could not hold up to the beating they take on a kayak.
Pros
  • Strong
  • Smooth
  • Great for kayak fishing
Cons
  • None so far

AWESOME REEL
April 8, 2022
I've owned a lot of spinning reels in my time, (nearly every brand) and some were great reels. This Penn Slammer lV is quality that can get into the ring with any heavy weight fighter. These are military tough and smooth too. The drag is consistently smooth on long runs and the bail is solid. I will never switch again from Penn again. Price represents quality and I expect to get YEARS and YEARS of enjoyment knowing that I have the advantage once hooked up. The only thing that this reel needs is line and an angler saying "Fish on".
Pros
  • Too many to list... Love the high speed gears.
Cons
  • Availability was slow at first. Don't own enough of them.

This reel has exceeded my every expectation. Diawa has been my reel of choice for nearly two decades. The power and sturdiness of these reels is remarkable. So much so I know own a 5500, 7500,8500HS. This reel handled some sizeable Cubera Snapper and a 30 kilo Rooster just weeks ago. Never have I considered until now, a reel I enjoy as much as my Line-up up Saltigas. Far as price goes. Almost 3 of the SlammerIV series for the price of one Saltiga. Still love my Dogfight 8000HDF though.
Pros
  • Powerful,smooth retrieve, dunk able, built like a tank, affordable spare spools, PRICE

Love my reel

Bought the 10500 size for sharks off the jetty. That and looks, I put pandora braid on the reel. Its looks so cool, 100lb purple braid with the reel. I may do a photo shoot with this, it's like holding a super model in your hands. Just amazing
Pros
  • It makes me happy
Cons
  • I want more and more. Maybe I'm a reel addict

They didn't fix the least amount of drag setting. It's not much different than the slammer 3

Awesome gets even better

Awesome gets even better for sure! Great looks and raw power make this reel a must have. Drag is improved so it can be loosened a lot more than the III model could.

Can you fill reel with braid?
1 Answer
Mark, we can certainly spool up this reel for you. Just add the spool of braid to your order as well and include a note in the comments section with your specific spooling instructions. We will cover any monofilament backing needed for free and there is no additional charge for the spooling of the line besides the price of the braid. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to give us a call in regards to your spooling options at 888-354-7335.
