Purpose-built for New Zealand’s rugged saltwater fishing, the PENN Slammer II 742SPMH is a high-performance spinning rod designed to take on hard-fighting fish like Kingfish, Snapper, and even deepwater species. Whether you’re jigging, livebaiting or working heavy lures, this rod delivers the strength and responsiveness you need to stay in control.
At the heart of the rod is PENN’s SLSX blank construction - a next-gen technology that offers serious lifting power with minimal weight, so you can handle intense fights without fatigue.
Ready for the Salt
The rod is fitted with Fuji K-Series tangle-free guides with Alconite inserts and stainless steel frames - built to deliver smooth casting and excellent corrosion resistance in harsh saltwater conditions. The Fuji graphite reel seat keeps your reel locked in securely and perfectly balanced, while the hybrid EVA/cork grips give you long-lasting comfort and bite sensitivity, letting you detect even the subtlest takes.
Designed for anglers who demand reliability under pressure, the PENN Slammer IV 3500 takes strength and smoothness to the next level. Whether you're targeting hard-pulling Kingfish, Snapper, or other aggressive species, this reel is engineered to perform in tough saltwater conditions.
The Slammer IV builds on PENN’s proven IPX6 sealed body and spool system, now with an upgraded sealed drag system that delivers a wider, more usable drag range — and it’s bearing-supported for even smoother operation under load.
Inside, you'll find all-brass CNC-cut gears for long-lasting precision and power, combined with an 8+1 stainless steel bearing system and a hydrophobic line roller bearing that keeps water and salt at bay.
This is the ultimate workhorse reel for serious fishos who push their gear hard and expect it to deliver every time.
