Hi AnthonyN,

Go Ahead, Name 10..

I'd be interested to see what you come up with if you think the slammer is "clunky".....

But go ahead, I am anxious to know what you think is better for the same money.

Hi AnthonyN,

I used my liveliner for a few weeks only and it is on the slammer platform, it has worked out well so far. When I bought it the thought in my head was why buy the shimano baitrunner, which wobbles very bad, "clunky" for sure, so I gave the Penn a shot and low and behold it is a balanced reel.... No Wobbles to speak of, the thunnus is giagantic and there is no way, no how that it is near $129.00

Matt, I would go with the slammer, the 5600 is a decent size and the body is better than the "ss" series, you can also check them out at www.pennreels.com

Thanks
Matt

The penn is a great new product, all metal with the shaft supported in three places... I wont knock the shimano, but at least I know that I have tried them bolth, not the new plastic shimano the old design, and I own a couple shimanos for fresh water. I just dont think it's right to pass judgement on the Penn with out actually trying it first.

But to each his own, besides Japan's economy needs the money.

Matt
