I don't mind that you aren't a big PENN fan. I was just curious as to why. To me it seems that the company offers terrific tackle at reasonable prices that can be repaired ANYWHERE ....ALMOST INSTANTLY because parts are so readily available. They seem to be "blood and guts" tough with very simple designs.....As you can tell I am a fan of PENN. The squidder being the reel that gets the most use from me and I have NEVER had a problem with it. I service it regularly and it repays me unfailingly....In fact, the only problem I ever had with any PENN reel was due to my own negligence.....While on a BLUEFISH head boat using my Jigmaster, the sideplate (handle side) came off during the heat of battle because I didn't tighten the "take down" screw.
I don't know about the SLAMMER because I haven't even held one in my yet, but I have to say PENN gets a huge thumbs up from me!
