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.

March 31, 2022
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

March 29, 2022
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

what is the meaning of BLS on slamer 5500?
does slamer III 5500 spools works on slamer IV 5500?
2 Answers
Laurent,
The Penn Slammer 5500BLS is a bail-less reel (BLS). Meaning there is no bail to flip over to cast. You manually have to put the line back on the line roller. Also, the spools on the Slammer III and Slammer IV are not interchangeable. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
Submitted by:
Rick - TackleDirect Customer Service
on September 29, 2021
Laurent, BLS stands for bailess, so those models will have a manual pickup instead of a bail. Link below that will go directly to the bailess version with images for clarification if needed. Spools would not be interchangeable between Slammer III and Slammer IV unfortunately. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

Is the new Penn Slammer IV 100% sealed as compared to a Van Staal or Salt X?
1 Answer
Jason,
The Penn Slammer IV has a sealed body and spool with the IPX6 design. It also has a redesigned drag system to be better sealed, but does not commit to being fully sealed if you submerge reel in water. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
