I'm guessing the slammer is the same design as the liveliner, minus the liveliner feature.
I have a liveliner 5600L, and the baitrunner feature stopped working after 3 months.
Pros: yes, the drag is beter than any other reel I've ever used (minus the internationals).
Cons: I have to take the whole reel apart every 3 months, I've lost 2 bail screws, and pray you never loan it to your best friend who puts it down in the sand (once).
Bottom line, I think the Mitchell is ultra low maint., while the Penn is super high maint.
Talk to Billy, he loves the Mitchells.
Later,
Rick
