Penn Slammer III HS 6500/8500 HS

The Slammer III is back again for 2018, this time with two new high speed versions designed for a hard core surf angler or those really serious about catching large game fish. With many of the same highlights as the Slammer III series introduced in 2016, the 6500 HS has a recovery rate of 48 inches and the 8500 HS has a recovery rate of 50 inches. When it comes to stopping power, the 6500 has a maximum drag rating of an impressive 40 pounds while the 8500 has a whopping drag rate of 50 pounds. For corrosion protection in the saltwater environment, you'll be happy to learn that both spinning reels are backed by an IPX6 sealing, which resists against saltwater spray.
