Anyone who knows a thing or two about saltwater fishing doesn’t need to be told about the Penn Slammer<\/a>. This must-have fishing reel has developed an iron-clad reputation among experienced anglers for its durability and performance. But did you know that for the 2021 season, Penn has engineered a new and improved Slammer?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology has come a long way in the five years since the Slammer III<\/a> debuted in 2016. What was top of the line back then is still exceptional, but if you want your arsenal well-stocked with the latest breakthroughs in engineering and design, it is time for an update.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Why the Penn Slammer IV needs to be the next addition to your arsenal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Superior Waterproofing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With all the new models of reels coming out this year the key focus point has been on keeping the reel grease in and the saltwater out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new model brings back the time-tested IPX6 body<\/a> with a completely revamped Dura-Drag system. This system lets in less water while actually improving the amount of usable drag you have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to this new tech, your reels will last longer and feel smoother. You can stop losing precious time doing ad-hoc repairs on your reels!<\/p>\n\n\n

Durable Materials<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Saltwater fishing puts your reels to the ultimate test. Your fishing gear will take a beating from the elements and your aquatic opponents alike. That’s why Penn reels have all-brass CNC gears and stainless steel bearings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The body, side plate, and rotor are all metal. No plastic here. This reel is meant for action, and you can tell just by looking at it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Slammer IV even features a hydrophobic line roller bearing to further prevent damage from saltwater. Don’t rely on luck<\/a>, make sure it’s going to work!<\/p>\n\n\n

Reduced Weight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is nothing worse than jigging and casting all day with a heavy unbalanced and bulky outfit, then hooking that fish of a lifetime with dead arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why Penn made the Slammer 4 as light as possible. Somehow, they managed to make the all-metal body even lighter than the slammer III. This reel gets the job done with no fuss. <\/p>\n\n\n
