I bought a 3500 and a 4500 DXIf these reels are any thing like the Slammer lll's they should be near perfect. More ball bearings and more sealing should make them a easy sell. Ill be back with a report asap!

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've owned a lot of spinning reels in my time, (nearly every brand) and some were great reels. This Penn Slammer lV is quality that can get into the ring with any heavy weight fighter. These are military tough and smooth too. The drag is consistently smooth on long runs and the bail is solid. I will never switch again from Penn again. Price represents quality and I expect to get YEARS and YEARS of enjoyment knowing that I have the advantage once hooked up. The only thing that this reel needs is line and an angler saying "Fish on".

CAUGHT LOTS OF 15 TO 20 lb. RED SNAPPER IN 175 ft. OF WATER. NO PROBLEMS GETTING THEM UP BEFORE THE SHARKS GET THEM. GREAT FOR FISHING VERTICAL JIGS AS WELL.
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.
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.
I purchased this reel from this company and they were absolutely awesome, fast delivery great communication and reliability. Recommended seller and I will definitely deal again. Massive Thank you
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 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.
