Review of the new Penn Slammer IV 2500 spinning reel, been fishing with it since January 2021

THE spinning reel I have been hoping and praying for is actually real! Just before Xmas 2020 I received an email from a contact at Penn Europe, telling me firstly that Penn were finally going to make a "baby" 2500 size Slammer, and secondly that I would be the first angler in Europe to get hold of one and fish with it - but I could tell nobody about it and I had to keep things very quiet until Penn USA officially launched this new Slammer IV range.

So here it is, in many regards my perfect spinning reel for bass fishing, the Penn Slammer IV 2500. There is also a silver coloured Slammer IV 2500 DX version which I tell you about in the video. I have also fished a lot with the new Slammer IV 3500 and 3500 DX reels, I will do a video review of them in due course.

I believe these new Slammers will be available here in the UK later this year, but for the time being I can continue to jump for joy that Penn have gone and made a "baby" 2500 size Slammer. It's awesome to fish with and it sits perfectly on any of the lure rods I might go bass fishing with these days, which due to my work with Savage Gear happens to be the SGS5 and SGS8 lure rods these days, full details here https://bit.ly/3wBvtMj
