Product Overview
PENN Slammer IV Spinning Reel
The Slammer IV is packed with more features than ever before. Building off of their proven IPX6 sealed body and spool, PENN redesigned their Slammer® drag system to not only be better sealed, but also offer a wider range of usable drag, all while being bearing supported for extra smoothness. Adding their all brass CNC gear technology, 8+1 stainless steel bearing system and Hydrophobic Line Roller Bearing has made the Slammer IV the ultimate workhorse reel.
Features:
- Full Metal Body and sideplate
- CNC Gear Technology with brass main gear
- IPX6 Sealed body and spool design
- Sealed Slammer® drag system with Dura-Drag™ (Sizes 3500-10500)
