Smoother than expected and you can definitely feel the power under load. Paired with a 9ft tica surf rod and it casts a mile! I use 30lb Maxcuatro and it's perfect.

I bought this reel for kayak fishing as its compact and strong but most importantly it is really well sealed against water and sand. It does everything the manufacturer promised and is my go to reel when getting my Yak on.

No regrets- Excellent reel.

Excellent reel, smooth and superb quality. I have injuries so this reel really makes what would normally be a long painful day a lot more enjoyable due to the high speed retrievals. I'm glad I can still enjoy a days fishing with this magical reel.

Not so great
28 January 2023

I bought this reel after a lot of research back in Oct 2022. Unfortunately, after two months the bail arm stuck open rendering the reel unusable and although it was fixed under warranty, I didn't get it back until 27th Jan 2023. The piece that broke is called a "pivot arm."I have had to buy another reel and although this one now works, I don't trust it, so it's my backup.Not what I expected from a $400 reel

It’s a great strong reel. The first one that came was broken. Customer service was great. They sent another one within 2 days and I sent back the broken one.

Fantastic build quality . Fully waterproof. Built for salt water use .Great size for light lure fishing bass , perch , zander and pike. Had it in the surf already and performed faultlessly. Very pleased with this purchase.

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.

Slammer "slams" it.
15 June 2022

I purchased this reel prior to a 1 week Swains Reef fishing trip after my old spinning reels were showing their age. With it's 40lb drag, I was delighted with the way I could control large fish. Could not be happier with the Penn Slammer - best spinning reel I have ever used!

This is the smoothest reel I have ever own, casting distance is more than I expected, and retrieval is so smooth. This reel is well built, see and feel the quality. I'm ready to do so serious fishing now.
