I have a Penn Slammer 560 on my All Star 1088, which is kinda close to a 1084. Nice balanced rig. I have 40# Power Pro on it. Had one tangle I was able to clear without much fuss.

The wife has a Stradic 8000 on her Batson 1088. It's OK for her but I find it a little heavy when I "borrow" it

. That has 50# PP on it. She hasn't been able to tangle it beyond salvage, and she was geting knots all the time using a 704 and mono.

I hear the Slammers don't like getting dunked, but mine's a bay/LI Sound set-up, not for high surf.
