Notaro, my experience with the slammers is that they do NOT like to get wet. If you are wading and taking waves or the occasional spill, they will not last long. They will seize up and the gears will corrode, and will be difficult to keep in running condition. If you keep it dry, they are nice reels. The 710z is your best low cost option; I have heard good things about the Spheros as well, but dont have one.
