The 360 through to 760 size range covers a wide range of inshore and offshore saltwater fishing applications. Below we will detail further on each size to help you decide on which size Penn slammer reels to purchase.
Penn Slammer 360 Spin
The 360 spin is the smallest reel in the range for sale. It’s a size that is useful for heavy inshore fishing styles. Such styles include lake and river fishing for barra, queenfish, mulloway, mangrove jack and other inshore fish that fall under a stronger class.
Slammer 360 reels make an excellent option for a light-medium class of beach, rock and offshore boat fishing.
Talking rod choice to suit the 360 Slammer, if you’re positioning yourself for heavy inshore or light offshore fishing, typically a 6-7ft rod with a line rating above 5kg will make an excellent rod choice. As the Penn Slammer 360 is not a large reel, beach and rock anglers should be looking for rods around 8-10ft in length with line rating 3-5kg plus but generally not exceeding 8kg.
Penn Slammer 460 Spin
Ideal for extra heavy inshore fishing for cod, barra, queenfish, bay snapper and more. The 460 is also an excellent choice for light to medium beach, rock and offshore fishing styles targeting bream, trevally, drummer, snapper, salmon and tailor.
Slammer 460 reels match well to fishing rods ranging from 6-7ft for offshore or heavy lake/river fishing through to 8-10ft for rock and beach angling. Ideally for all styles, rods with a line rating anywhere between 4-8kg are the best choice.
Penn Slammer 560 Spin or 560L Live Liner

Perfect for salmon, tailor, bonito, kingfish, small tuna species, mulloway, snapper and a wide range of other saltwater fish. The line holding capacity is excellent or you can fish weightier classes of line.
Ideal fishing rod selections include 6-7ft 6inch rods for offshore boat fishing with line ratings anywhere from 8kg through to 15kg, and the same applies for a beach or rock rod but with rod lengths between 8-12ft.
