Penn Slammer IV Unboxing, Dunking & Catching Some “Trophy” First Fish

If you follow the channel you will know since the Penn Slammer III was released it has pretty much taken over my rod and reel arsenal almost completely. The Slammer has proved it self to be almost indestructible, lets see how the new Slammer 4 performs on some quality "trash" fish 😁

I'm that confident in the quality of these videos, I'm liking them during the advert at the start.

[@jonmark1347]

G'day rod. What a legend u are in the craft u teach!! Watching your content has been the drive I needed to get on the water myself. Your knowledge is endless and everything you discuss on your Chanel makes sence to me. Keep up the amazing videos!!

[@Antipodean33]

I bought a cheap on special Penn rod, the warfare model in 3 to 6 kg and 7 foot and it's one of the best rods i've had. From day one I've increased my hook up rate no end. From catching small Tommies, garfish, whiting etc, to jigging for squid, which i cleaned up with using it the first time (7 in less than 1 hour). it's also been great on good sized salmon as well

@Travis Hunt snapper, triggerfish, amberjack you name it. fishing is amazing.

[@scottmcrae4962]

Great content as always rod!! I love watching your adventures. Glad too see you frothing over the new penn gear as well. I was really hoping peen would have made a one piece handle this time round. I find there reels to be great but the two piece handle let’s them down. Keep up the amazing work mate!!

[@rcsutter]

I always enjoy watching you fish those waters, I've seen you catch many mack tuna, although they aren't popular with your family for eating they sure do fight hard, good looking fish too! Just heading into winter here, snow coming soon, looking forward to your summer fishing videos. As always, great video quality and production, thanks and take care.

[@kylelewis4685]

Wow it like Christmas day. Shiny new gear for you and a new video for all of us. I am right there with you on the Penn train. I have been fishing in Florida for more than 30 years and 90% of my reels have been Penn. I have a 30 year old International II's that still sees service on a wreck rig.

[@martinquintana5837]

Hey Rod good to see you back on the water with some well deserve equipment to bring in them monsters out there in Australia. To me Penn is the top of the line fishing equipment. I like that 2500 is it small but strong. Stay safe out there Rod and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas.

[@francisgarcia375]

Nice new equipment means more fishing and hope they don't snap like last time. Thank you for the videos and will be waiting for the next one.

[@theedude2207]

Great Video, Cheers Rod, and grats on the new rods and Reels..awesome stuff. Nice Smooth Beach Launch and indeed You Enjoy a nice Paddle and with 14:24 such awesome background Views of the City...Stunning Views ...I can see why you enjoy this so much..good sport...good fitness ..good views and at times a Nice Catch!

[@banko1813]

From start to finish brilliant mate, love the kayak vids just something about it, maybe I'm biased being a yak angler myself 😆 You persuaded me to buy the slammer 111 and what an awesome reel for kayak angling. Great content as always Rod, keep up the good work, much love from England 💪💪💪🎣🎣👍

[@monte6054]

Thank You VERY Much for Your gentle touch, "Nice" is the word, I guess. And a REQUEST - an annual vid inventory update of Your Rods, Reels, and Lines - more "One to Rule", pls. Sometimes changes come quickly. As a beginner saltwater shore angler with 60-plus years as a hardcore Rocky Mountain fly fisher, I cannot get enough of Your type of content - well-thot-out & trustworthy from a gentleman. In that lite, perhaps some separate vid with Your lens deep in Your everyday tackle. Regardless, Thanks Again, Rod.

[@michaelgiles7515]

Great content brother.. I'm looking at a slammer at the moment as well as the Diawa hq saltist a day I've been dead locked.. I know the mac wasn't the fish you wanted but I saw all I needed to see in the slammer to sway me. Thanks for this 🙏

[@johnherman3261]

Good start for the season Rod. Love those Penn reels. Love ya brother, stay safe!

Double the excitement for this one! Looking at the Slammer IV for my next reel.

[@kalae7036]

Always enjoy your content whether you’re catching trash or trophies. Great review. I also use a 7’ med veritas inshore. I love the penn reels but the selection of rods never really suited what I was looking for. Stay great mate!

[@jimbo4612]

Check out the very reasonable Penn Battalion ll and then the Carnage series. The Battalion has Fuji components including Alconite guides . For the price at $110.00 to $140.00 heck of a deal for the quality. Few offer alconite at this price

[@CptGingerbeardKayakFishing]

So stoked for ya mate! This was a really lekker video to watch! A bit of ASMR there with the unboxing too 👌👌 Primo stuff bud! 🔥🔥

Hahahaha you’re like me! I’m left handed but I wind with my right because from the first time I picked up a fishing reel, the handle was on the right. I got accustomed to it. I also write with my right hand despite being a lefty lol

Hoody Rod, thanks for another great video and review of the new Penn gear. I have a Penn gear user for over 40 years mate and the new 2500 is just what I need for the land base fishing I do, so glad Penn did this new real as I have been in need of a new combo so will rush out and purchase etc. If you can would like your opinion how the 2500 handles squid? Been watching your channel since you started and love your no frills content and great narration, love your cooking too....keep doing your content which offers so much.....take care mate from South Oz. Peace.

[@rokkitkit]

Cheers mate, yea as a squid reel it would probably last a lifetime. Would be great for land based as you wouldn’t have to worry about it copping the water and rocks👍

[@yaboyskinnyp8815]

Hey mate, love your videos. I’m really wanting to see your rig/baiting style with the treble hook. Can you pleeease do a quick video explain this? Including leader size? You could do it on frozen bait if you’re worried about people being upset with live bait etc. Would love it if you uploaded this! I’ve also seen you rig your soft plastics differently on the hook too. I think it’d be a great video. Thanks either way I love your videos.

[@Shabaruzaman]

It's tempting! I hope Slammer IV arrive in Malaysia a.s.a.p

[@aranha9365]

"Who watched the live stream knows that this braid doesn't break easily." 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣 I have been looking for a new set up these last days (lost some gear in the surf recently), I have watched at least five slammer IV video reviews... You are the first one to go out there and catch fish with the dam thing.

Great review mate, I wanted to get set up for something all round as well as drone fishing off the beach as well as some spinning and like the Penn range, what would you recommend could I get away with a similar set up but a longer rod in the black ops?

[@rokkitkit]

Yep will definitely try and get the 2500 on to some bigger fish soon, as long as they is enough line I can’t see it struggling 👍

[@ademite]

I've "used" daiwa, shimano abu's okuma's etc etc etc pretty much all of the brands. Penn is the most durable in my experiences. Great company overall they are for the fisherman. That's my general impression I have gotten from using them and using their customer service. I almost exclusively only use Penn now. Customer service HAS to be on par with the product. I have usually got shamed and was told it was user error time and time again from a lot of companies.

[@markgrotto7852]

I have the 2500 standard slammer with 15 lb braid and it’s notorious for making wind knots. I have Shimanos too and they NEVER have wind knots. I love the concept that Penn has but it does not seem to work. Wish I could make it work. I’ve already removed a lot of line. Help?

Ha, I always do that too, hope the first fish on a new rod was something good. If it was a trash fish it was always disappointing. Went to a private lake this last weekend and caught some big Rainbow Trout. The wooly bugger was the champ of the day.

[@philjones6323]

Morning Skip, any chance you can explain how the sounder works on your next vid (ie; what the info on the screen represents), for us non-fishing fans?!

[@owenpitout6745]

It’s called a fish finder, it shows the depth of the water and even nearby fish. It has a sonar at the back that creates sonar waves, and when the wave hits something.. fish rocks ect the sonar senses it and puts it onto the screen. The fish finder also shows the paths you have taken on past missions.

[@evengineering7136]

Catch anD stop fishing is one hunDred percent me!! And I believe the same goes for many of just viewers. We don't injure fish for sort....for the so called thrill of hooking into a monster.That mentality disgusts many of us!Your catch and cook ethical fishing is 100% in line with mine and many thousand more. If you lose a few subscribers, then trust us , we will lead other conservation ethical fishermen to your channel! Thats a promise!!
