Slammer® IV Spinning Reel
Slammer® IV Spinning Reel
The Slammer® IV Spinning Reel is packed with more features than ever before. Building off of our proven IPX6 sealed body and spool, we redesigned our 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 our 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. Key differences for the 2500 are listed in the feature bullets.

- JSJames S.Verified Buyer3 weeks agoRated 5 out of 5 starsGreat reel
I’ve used the reel for a little while and it’s great. Even with salt water in it it’s easy to clean.
- TPTodd P.Verified Buyer2 months agoRated 5 out of 5 starsSlammer
Love these reels have 4500 all the way to 10500
- MUMichael U.Verified Buyer3 months agoRated 5 out of 5 starsGreat reel
Solid reel with plenty of line capacity. Ha be used it yet, but soon. Can’t wait. It feels super smooth.
- JPJeffery P.Verified Buyer12 months agoRated 4 out of 5 starsSo far So good
Only about 3 trips on the saltwater and a few lake casts, But the reel has been a pleasure to use. The drag is smooth and has landed some 3-4 ft sharks on 20# braid with a 30# mono leader. Finger mullet live bait And lure casting for reds and snook on the flats with a 7 ft med. carbon rod for hours is not nearly the workout of my old setup. Saltwater exposure is the test for the future to show, but for now it’s a definite keeper. Didn’t take any other pics, don’t like to handle my phone on the boat with salty hands, son took this one., price for me was more than I have spent on past reels times 2 held back the 5th star , that and the time I’ve had the reel in use. I own 2 / 2500 and one 8500hs slammer IV reels purchased in the last few months since I recently retired and treated myself to some upgrades in tackle. Had several Penn SS series reels that have been solid for over 20 years and still going. Hopefully I can say that in the future about these Slammers
- CMCapt Mark Y.2 years agoRated 5 out of 5 starsSlammer IV used for full time guiding
Im a full time fishing guide and need reliable strong reels for clients. The slammer 2500 size is perfect for snook, redfish, trout and any other inshore species! Highly recommended
