Offshore beast
November 19, 2019
I have 2 of these reels on custom 8ft rods. Primarily used for sight fishing while offshore trolling. Cast at a weed mat or see a lot of birds etc. Cast a big chugger, zip, zip boom fish on! And an unbelievable catch at that...a wahoo! Peeled off maybe 200yds, 65lb suf832 braid. And wahoo can hit ur bait at over 60mph. It was a blast and tasted great!

No more Penns for me
July 20, 2022
I have purchased many Penn reels and the reel life has gone in the crapper. I still have some old Conflict and Spinfishers that are working but all of the new reels have purchased in the last year are awful. Especially the latest one a Penn Slammer 3. I used it for one weekend and now it is loud and when the handle is turned it grinds. Again, this was used for one weekend from a boat and was never dunked or even sprayed with saltwater. I always wash and dry all of my reels at the end of each day. It's not like these are an inexpensive investment.
Pros
- Holds great amount of line
Cons
- Quality and durability are awful

January 22, 2022
Used a 6500 standard for the first half of my year at the canal last season, swapped out the knob for the EVA. hammer of a reel, more drag than i could hold on too when i paired it with my 11ft 3-10oz black hole heavy surf 2
Pros
- drag power.
- durability
Cons
- some people may say that it is heavy, for me i find that this is the max of what i like to use at 24oz, but for what it does and for the rod i use it is balanced very well.

Slammer III 4500
January 9, 2022
Reel was flawless fishing it in the surf. Didn’t hook up on anything but I can attest that it felt smooth, was comfortable all day fishing with it and it paired well on a 10’ battalion surf (first gen). Not a whole lot to dislike.
Pros
- Durable, penn tough
Cons
- Dura drag is strong so if you want to dial in a loose drag, that type of setting still gives a fair amount of resistance. I believe this was addressed in the III model

Dear Tackle Direct,
Which rods are a good fit for slammer 3 6500HS? Targeting Striper on the Cape Cod canal. Mostly Jigging and using jerkbaits, maybe a bit of plugging and surf fishing.
My budget is $350, but if the quality is increasing insignificantly with a higher price tag, i would like to stay below these numbers.
Based on reviews from various forums, i feel that these rods are good, however i do not mind any other recommendations.

st croix avid

Which size slammer is best for tuna jigging in the north east on a 6’ xh rod ?
1 Answer
I would recommend the 6500, 40# of drag should suffice with 400+ yards of braid capacity.
If you think you need more stopping power or line capacity I would go up to the 8500

Best size slammer for a 9ft st croix mojo medium action.
1 Answer
For casting, I'd say the 4500. There is a significant jump in size and weight between the 4500 and 5500, which is worth keeping in mind when comparing.

Currently have a Star Rod Handcrafted 8-14 lb line .....fishing 12 lb mono which in your opinion is a better Fit Slammer III 3500 or 4500 or maybe a Clash 4000
Thanks
1 Answer
We suggest going with the Clash 3000 or 4000. Both of them are lighter than the slammer and should hold more than enough line for you.
