Penn Slammer IV
With an outstanding max drag, incredibly smooth retrieve and superb corrosion-resistance it’s hard to know how to fashion a better spinning reel than the Penn Slammer IV. We’ve hammered it around the UK and caught some monster pollock on lures and it barely scratched the sides.

Description
The Penn Slammer IV series is, for the price, the best big saltwater spinning reel we’ve used for serious fishing. For UK-based shore fishing, you shouldn’t need to go over the 5500 size as the drag and line capacity is more than for anything outside of sharks and tuna in UK waters. Equally the automatic bail trip feature is only available on the 2500 – 5500 models and that’s something we’d recommend you go for.
Like the Spinfisher, Penn’s Slammer is an ultra-durable reel whose full metal body and side plate are completely sealed from seas and spray, protecting the internal components. This is such a key feature for saltwater reels, particularly if the reel itself is designed to be ultra-smooth.
The 40lb max drag on the 500 model makes for a serious reel. But equally, the 2500 – 4500 are excellent reels we would highly recommend. The 5500 just has more flexibility when it comes to casting distance and targeting huge fish both in and near shore. Just make sure you pair it with one of the best lure fishing rods.
