I agree. I had the Slammer 460 and it had problems within 2 years. And I only used it on the boat and rinsed it with fresh water after each trip.

The only Penn spinners I've had that have lasted have been the older ones and the newer SSM series. Keep in mind that like anything else, you get what you pay for.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
