  • Great reel
Size: 6500
Great price and powerful smooth reel. Easily pull grouper out of holes. Has become my favorite reel to use whether bottom fishing or casting into a grass line for dolphin.

  • Good craftsmanship will definetly hold up too some abuse.
Size: 6500
Very smooth drag.Isn't sticky like some of the other higher end Japanese reels out there. Ive caught a few tarpon in the triple digits and a couple goliaths and this reel worked great. Its a great buy for the money.

I wanted a special gift for my husband for his birthday. I researched through outfitters Cabela’s, etc. and found this model. The cost of this product was way less than those distributors. That is why I purchased it. The quality is there.

  • Best large spinning reel!
Size: One Size
I love this reel. It is an absolute beast and looks phenomenal. I feel like there is very little it will be able to handle!

  • Best reel ever!!!
Size: One Size
The Slammer is a beast. Dunked twice on accident in the Atlantic with no issues. Bought the 5500 with 30lb braid and 40lb shock leader. Handles whatever ocean creature that comes it's way. Very satisfied
