What are your thoughts on the Penn Slammer 460 Spinning Reel?

The 8' PENN Newport rod and Power Graph II PG3000 reel are good for the docks / piers but it just doesn't give me the distance others are getting w/ longer rods. Some of the guys were doubling my casts this weekend and they said is was due to rod length.

I'd also like to get a reel that will hold up to the salt water better as well as having a larger spool capacity - in case I'm ever lucky enough to hook up with one that wants to run.

Can I get your thougts on the 460 spinning reel on a 10' St.Croix graphite rod? Good / bad / others???

Thanks folks,
Rob
