Penn Slammer IV - Designed to push the limits

by Penn Fishing 22 Jul 2021 10:06 PDT

The name Slammer needs little introduction in saltwater circles. Synonymous with being downright bulletproof and lasting the distance no matter the conditions, it's developed a cult following amongst anglers pursuing the toughest ocean predators for a reason.

Penn's new Slammer IV spinning range takes the ultimate workhorse reel to another level. Building off a proven platform of an IPX6 sealed body and spool from the Slammer III, Penn has redesigned the Dura-Drag system in the Slammer IV to not only be better sealed, but also offer a wider range of usable drag, all while being bearing supported for extra smoothness.

HT-100 drag technology is packed into the small, but tough, 2500 size, a new and highly sought-after addition to the Slammer family. For dependability, the Slammer IV features Penn's renowned all-brass CNC gear technology, a new 8+1 stainless steel bearing system and a new hydrophobic line roller bearing across the range.

Whether you're live baiting in the surf, spinning from the rocks, popper fishing a coral reef, deepwater jigging or switchbaiting a billfish, the Slammer IV range won't let you down. Let the battle begin.
