The Penn Slammer 460 spinning reels remain true to Penn's commitment to provide anglers the world over with tough, reliable yet smooth fishing reels. Popular amongst professional fishing charters and fishing guides as a rugged simple to use fishing reel that works day in day out, the Penn Slammer 460 fishing reel can handle the hard fishing environments subjected to it by hard fighting fish and all levels of anglers. The features of the Penn Slammer 460 spinning reel are very impressive. The gearing system is comprised of a machine cut alloy main and bronze pinion. The stainless steel shaft is supported in 3 places. All this is contained in a full metal body. Five stainless steel shielded bearings and an infinite anti reverse bearing add up to make the Penn 460 Slammer spinning reels great value for money. Another feature that stands the Penn Slammer 460 fishing reels apart from other spinning reels is the Penn Power Drag System. The Power Drag has 2 complete systems. One conventional system recessed in the spool and another extra large system under the spool. This creates a sandwich effect when fishing, which disperses the drag pressure over a much larger surface area when fighting fish. This offers superior smoothness, increased drag range and fish stopping power. Anglers want two things from a fishing reel, power and durability. Penn Engineers have taken this into account and have designed a frame that is made from a special high-strength alum-alloy to produce a housing that encases rugged gearing system of the Penn Slammer 460 spinning reels with a weight of only 549 grams. This is the finest and smoothest spinning reel ever manufactured by Penn.
