Saltwater ready, start to finish
The Slammer II 802SPH features Fuji K-Series tangle-free guides with Alconite inserts and stainless steel frames — built to handle braided lines and resist corrosion in harsh marine environments. A Fuji graphite reel seat offers secure, balanced reel mounting, while the hybrid EVA/cork grips give you excellent comfort and bite sensitivity, even on long sessions or rough seas.This is a reliable, no-compromise rod for Kiwi anglers who fish hard and expect their gear to keep up. The PENN Slammer IV 6500 is built for those who target powerful, hard-fighting species in New Zealand’s demanding saltwater conditions. Whether you’re chasing Kingfish around rocky coastlines or hauling Snapper from deep reefs, this reel delivers the strength, smoothness, and reliability needed to get the job done.
Built on PENN’s proven IPX6 sealed body and spool design, the Slammer IV protects critical components from saltwater intrusion. The sealed Slammer drag system is also upgraded — fully bearing-supported for even smoother operation and a wider, more usable drag range. With Dura-Drag washers, you’ll get consistent stopping power under heavy loads, run after run.
Inside, the reel features CNC-machined brass gears, a full metal body and sideplate, and a hydrophobic line roller bearing — all working together to make this one of the toughest and most refined reels in its class.
