Penn Slammer Reel

With more and more anglers switching to braided main lines, Penn realised that most fixed spool reels simply cannot cope with the immense pressures exerted on the shaft and drag systems. So, they decided that the support shaft for the spool should be dramatically increased, and triple supported throughout the frame, so that spool alignment and balance would not be compromised under extreme loads.

A single, large HT100™ drag washer has also been located under the spool to provide the ultimate in fixed spool stopping power. The end result from all this forward thinking and quality engineering is the Penn Slammer® - a truly magnificent reel that can cope with anything from school bass up to huge blue sharks with no fear of the reel collapsing.


Penn Power Drag.

A single, large HT100TM drag washer, located under the spool, protects the drag from the elements, providing the utmost in smooth stopping power for the Slammer's drag system. The proven HT100TM drag material is long lasting, but when it finally does wear, the reversible drag washer can be flipped over, for double the life.
