Penn’s Slammer has been a well thought of piece in their line, favored by many, including charter captains. Fishermen from all over the world have trusted these reels over the years. The new Slammer III takes the good from prior generations and moves the piece well into the 21st century with enhancements that provide anglers with even more reasons to get excited. These new reels feature Full Metal Body, sideplate and rotor. CNC gear technology is employed for a smoother performing gear-train. The body is SEALED, as are the spool and drag system. Gear ratios range from 4.2:1 to 6.2:1 depending upon the model. Pricing ranges from the mid $200’s to mid $300’s. This series is a step up from the Spinfisher V’s, and one step below the much more expensive Torque series USA made reels. Reels come with two knobs, a soft grip and a metal piece as is pictured below.
