Submitted by adamsmith84 on Wed, 2009-12-09 16:31
Im looking to replace my old penn ssm spinfisher 650 and can't decide whether or not to buy a brand new spinfisher 650 or get a new penn slammer, has anyone have or owned a slammer if you have could you tell me about it.

own the 850 slammer. Bloody love it handles everything a dream have pulled in some bloody big rays no problems and drag is still smooth as a babys bottom! its currently spooled with 500m of 20 pound mono and never had anything come close to putting me at less than 3 quarter of a spool left

you must mean 850
you must mean 850 spinfisher, couldntcatchacold.
Slammers only go to 760.
Seen a lot of 850 spinfishers on sale lately for $119 which is bloody good value.

I reckon the spinfisher,
I reckon the spinfisher, Good reliable units for a cheap price and quite easy to service yourself, infact there was an article on self servicing one in the most recent hotbite.
One time we loaded liams spinfisher up with 50lb mono and tied it around my waist like a belt and i went for a walk on locked drag... I didnt make it that far lol

the spinfishers are a great reel for the price and they WILL last. just in my opinion, i dont like the look or feel of the slammers, and much prefer spinfishers. i use my 950 spinfisher for everything from castin mulies for tailor/salmon to mulloway fishing to tackling with big rays. love the sound of the spinfisher drag too.... nice and loud to wake ya up in the middle of the night :P
