i need a back up reel for the river striper run next spring. i like the fact that the nautil is water proof, but i like penn products. the slammer has an awesome drag, from what i am told. i have zero experience with these two reels. any advice pro or con on either reel? i know the nautil can be turned into a "bail-less" reel. can this be done to the slammer? also, i will be using 65# whiplash if you know how either performs with braid.
perhaps if anyone has either reel "just laying around" that isn't getting any use, i could take it off your hands.
