Review: Nearly 5 Stars - This feedback is based on initial assessments as a true review could take months of use. I just got mine last week. But I want to share some info I think is important. It is well built; it is smooth; and it does have a lot of drag. That said, like most things, it isn't perfect. First off, the elephant in the room...yes, it is the current 7+1 version. Penn stated in a forum post on Stripers Online website that all reels made starting September 2017 were made with the line roller bearing. As you will see from the photo (L18) that mine was manufactured in December 2018, and it IS the 7+1 model. I first purchased one from my local shop and returned it when I found out it was the older model. FYI, the sticker with the code is on the reel after you take off the spool. Pros: 1. Well built, including all machined brass gearing 2. Well sealed - IPX6 rated. I actually like that there is a 3rd party verification and rating system used here. I am not a fan of Shimano's "X" ratings and "Core" ratings. It's just marketing names. 3. Smooth drag; I admit I haven't used it in full practice yet, so take that with a grain of salt 4. Smooth action; it is smooth, but not as good when put next to Daiwa. Those are ridiculously smooth. The Slammer feels very slighly geary next to those. But not enough to complain about it. Cons: 1. Minimum drag - same complaint as everyone else; you can remove the drag cap and still not go very low. It's odd. I will say this one I have from desertcart is better than the 2 year old one I initially purchased from my local shop. Drag feels a little lighter. In practice it will likely be fine matched up with the 20 lb braid I'm currently running. According to Tackle Advisors, the minimum he experience was about 1-2 lbs. It feels close to that, but didn't bother to measure. Value: Well, value is subjective and personal. I will say I think the jump from the Spinfisher VI to this is appropriate. You primarily gain 2 extra bearings, a brass main gear and what I feel is a better handle. If you don't care about the little extra smoothness from more bearings, and the handle isn't important to you, the Spinfisher VI is better deal, especially at 6500 and above (where the main gear becomes brass like the Slammer). According to Tackle Advisors, the sealing in the VI (not the live liner models) is the same as the Slammer. In that case, you nearly get a Slammer for 2/3rds the price. For me, I noticed the extra smoothness of the extra bearings, and I like the handle so much better that I was going to put the Slammer handle on the Spinfisher VI anyway. Even with the current cost (as of today) of the Spinfisher VI 4500 at $142 and the cost of the Slammer handle at $65 on Ebay, that's $207. That's better than the $250 of the Slammer III 4500...except I got the Slammer III 4500 for $187 on desertcart. Soooo, that's a no brainer for me. I think I got a good version of a good reel. I think will work perfectly for my inshore Florida needs. And I believe at $187, it is a great value.
Review: Worth it for saltwater environments - Worth the extra money to get this model if you think you’ll get it in the water. Especially saltwater. I use mine on the jetty rocks and wading in surf. It’s gotten dunked in ocean while I was grabbing fish. I open it up every few trips (easy to do). Never seen water or salt deposits. grease it up real good while you’re in there and you’ll never have an issue. O-ring material seals are throughout reel. good for kayak, jet-ski, or surf/rock/inlet fishing. Gotta love the handle too! It comes with a soft rubber one also. Easy to change. No auto-bail bar return. Once you cast, you have to flip the nail with your hand. Reeling the handle won’t flip it. Awesome reel. Worth this price if you have the need for a sealed body. Little extra bonus is that it uses the same drag system as the Penn International reels.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these the newer models that have a bearing in the line roller or the older ones that have a line roller bushing?**
A: Just got mine in if you are still wondering, it had the bearing so it is the new model

**Q: Whats the best rod (length&action) for the 3500 ???**
A: 6-7ftdepends what your targeting. Can’t go wrong with the carnage II rods.

**Q: can you use this reel for saltwater and freshwater both?**
A: Yes, these reels will work in freshwater and saltwater, just make sure you select the appropriate size for your intended use.

I will say that unless you are chasing large catfish, big carp, or other powerful and larger freshwater species, there is not a big reason to use a Slammer III in freshwater. The 6500III is good for big catfish and the 3500III and 4500III are solid options for channels and carp.

**Q: What is the difference between 5500 and 6500**
A: Drag is higher in 6500 and line capacity.  I purchased 7500 as I use it for trolling, but 5500 is good enough for inshore trolling, kayak... The 5500 drag is 40lbs... 6500 Reel phisical size is also bigger than 5500

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, smooth big game reel
*by I***S on June 3, 2019*

Very impressive reel and built like a tank! I was surprised to feel how smooth it is being such a large reel (6500). I'll be using this paired with a heavy fast St Croix rod on Muskies but purchased it mainly for Great Lakes salmon & trout because of its tremendous spool capacity for those runners. Was first impressed when the handle smoothly rolled to the bottom when I picked it up. The dual set of bearings in the grip are so smooth they spin like a top. Mega powerhouse drag system is very smooth. I have a ton of rods & reeds in my arsenal but this is the best addition I've added in years.
