I would like to know if anybody has used the new Penn 560 Slammer Reel. How well did the reel hold up (relibility) throught the season ? Is it any better than the Spinfisher Models. I plan on using it for Surf Casting B.T.,Poppers,Darters, plugs,ECT.Any info about the 560 would be very helpful!!!

560
Nice reel, good balance, all metal body, if you dunk it open it and clean it.

great reel
been using my 460 for surfcasting (i swim to some spots)for a year now and i got to say, if you get it wet open it up and clean it thoroughly that night! i left it 2 days once and it would no longer turn. had to give it a total takeapart. no anti-reverse switch either - kind of a pain when casting artificials all day.
other than that it is solid, built simply (easy to take apart and fix), and has a great drag and line capacity.
