Taking the legendary Penn Slammer onto its fourth generation, this workhorse of a reel had an unmistakable performance for saltwater anglers coast to coast. The Slammer IV features a new IPX6 sealed body and spool, ready to take the harsh saltwater environments, wherever you take it to. A completely redesigned Dura-Drag System has even better sealing as well as a wider range of usable drag that is supported by additional bearings to maintain its smoothness. A brass main gear, stainless steel bearings and a hydrophobic line roller bearing finish this reel off, built and ready to tackle your next challenges for years to come just like its predecessors.

Very well built reel. Well sealed, Excellent line lay eliminates wind knots, and a killer drag system will put "the boots" to many Blues & Stripers for years to come.
As a half-century user of Penn reels, I bought this on purpose, and it has delivered as I expected. SWE was fantastic on getting the reel spooled and me out the door effortlessly. As always! Thanks, guys.
I bought the Penn Slammer 4 4500HS for Christmas and saw the Penn slammer 4 bundle. Emailed the store to see if I could return my previous purchase and buy the bundle instead. (Past the 30days but product was new in box) Received a reply the next day stating that it was not a problem and to stop by the store at my convince. Got the Penn Slammer 4 4500 DX all spooled up with 20lb braid and a jumping minnow. Great customer service and a great deal. (also picked up the bundle in the 5500 DX)
I absolutely love the Penn Slammer IV. The weight and precision of this reel is noticeable as soon as you pick it up and hold it in your hands. I cannot wait until the spring so I can use it.
