Penn Slammer IV Reels have hit shelves replacing their predecessor Slammer 3. It's clear from what we've seen so far, this new edition will be great for anyone who needs a reel of choice when they're on whatever saltwater type of fishing excursion there may be: inshore or offshore grounds with game fish in between! The word is out that the Slammer 4 has indeed exceeded all expectations.
The Penn Slammer IV features many of the technologies you have come to love on the Slammer III, like IPX waterproof Seal and CNC Gear technology. However, a few extra ball bearings are now included (now 8), plus a hydrophobic line roller bearing for improved performance and water resistance. Then there has been a rotor weight reduction by approximately 10-15% in most models too.
The CNC Gear technology we mentioned is still an inclusion. The brass system is engineered to the standards of being perfectly functional, profoundly strong and well able to handle the extreme loads exerted when engaging a hefty drag pressure. Stainless bearings support these CNC gears for silky smooth operation and brilliant crank load distribution.
IPX6 Waterproof sealing is still one of the biggest selling features of the Penn Slammer 4 Fishing Reel. This is an independent rating that confirms your Penn will handle spray from the boat from all angles, spray from the beach and rocks and even the occasional full submersion.
The Sealed Penn Slammer IV drag system with Dura-Drag is an enormous feature. It's what they have in the game models and it allows for incredible pressures like you wouldn't believe! The 2500 has an astonishing 9.1Kg, making it the sort of reel that will dominate the insure grounds, tackling even Mulloway with ease. By the time you get to the 10500, you are baiting up for the like of Yellowfin Tuna, GT's, Sailfish and a host of other bluewater game.
We could wax lyrical about the spin masterpiece for pages. The Penn Slammer IV for sale now. You simply must get one. Like really!
