I have both and the Saragossa is better in every way. I hate my slammer. Worst $300 reel I’ve ever owned

[@bushmanphotos]

Slammer is rubbish. I hate mine and I'm not even fussy. The drag is garbage. It takes a zillion turns to do anything and is NOT smooth. The bail roller constantly jams and ends up shredding my line. My slammer is brand new but it is so bad I refuse to use it and it has put me off spin reels for life. I am 65 years old and been a surf fisherman all my life and I run a lot of gear. The Penn Slammer is the worst reel I own. It has cost me multiple big fish including my biggest for the season before I stopped using it completely. These are facts I have no reason at all to hate on Penn. My Penn 9/0 has never let me down and it's 40 years old.

Spot on. USA, Mid-Atlantic. My 6000 saragosa is awesome. It ain't afraid of whatever eats... have landed 3.8 meter sharks. Lot of deep wades..

[@benico341]

“Very American sounding” is hilarious 🤣🤣what even 🤣both these reels are superb .

[@henkvanrooyen5213]

choices choices.... I am leaning towards the Slammer due to its IPX index and I have been told by some reliable provincial anglers that the Slammer is more durable and robust compared to the Gosa. however the Gosa is butery smooth.....

Great video, I have the Seragosa 10K paired with a 11’ Dark Matter CCC Surf rod and a Penn Slammer 4DX paired with a 10’ Penn Batallion 2 surf rod. Love them both for the Long Island NY surf.

[@dillonyu-n8e]

Had a slammer 8500 for 3 whole weeks shark fishing with it and the gears and drag got toasted

[@marceloamador92024]

Sold all penn reels daiwa mq , shimanos are st another level

[@kobuswentzel]

If you want to hear ‘very American sounding’ you should try the Penn Authority, it sounds like there is sand in the gearbox.

[@divanfourie1374]

Yoi can take of the gosa handle there are 2 screws on the far side of handle from the reel side there is w screws

[@briansowden5456]

Good video. Some smart video movements.

[@helterskelter156]

Love how well used these two reels are. I hate seeing reel reviews of shiny new reels.

[@jessboysen1976]

Thank You 🙏 Sir

[@piercel.6515]

Nice review, thank you. Now I know the "true" line capacity for the 6500.

[@KREESCATCH]

Whether it's the gosa or slammer.. Both are brilliant reels and love punishment

[@SC_Jaque]

Hey man i finally got the chance to buy myself the assassin horizon zero rod and now im saving some money to buy myself the gosa 14000

[@simonmorris6338]

Very interesting so where are you fishing Easter Weekend

[@webmoss]

You gotta review the DX, it’s a better version with the spool drag

[@darrencoetzer3445]

The state of that gosa 🙈

[@aroshanrai5213]

Penn slammer is more durable compared to Saragossa .
