Steve--what are the main differences between the Slammer and the SSM series? Thanks.

Leland

The Slammer has a better anti-reverse and, subjectively at least, feel smoother. I much prefer it.

Really the major difference is that all of the Slammer reels have the "double drag", with washers on the top and bottom of the spool.
Just like the $400 to $800 "big game" spinning reels.
In the SSm series, only the 950 has that drag system.
In the Slammers, the main support shaft is heavier, important if you are using spectra.
The 760 Slammer has 1 more ball bearing than the 750 SSm.
All Slammers including the smallest are metal-bodied, the smaller "SS" series are graphite bodied.
At the ICAST Show this summer, Mark will probably get to see the prototype of Penn's own "big game" spinning reel, which will be around $400, and made in the USA.

Steve--Thanks. Always appreciate your assistance.

you are a fishing reel ICON. I want you to have a great time doing your job. I want to know how many times do you go fishing and how many times do you want to just stay home. I think if fishing was my job I would have to collect unemployment, because it is a hard way to stay in the profit margin. I bet that there are some times when you get to get some really nice pictures and the reality is sometimes even you must get skunked off because then the good days would not be as good, or are you constantly catching fish like they are going out of style? 2 days a week must be about how often you fish ,right ,or is it more or less?
