{"reviews":[{"id":7420488,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"One of my favorite reels!","text":"The Penn Slammer 5500 is one of the smoothest and most well-built reels I’ve used. It’s sealed extremely well, which gives you confidence fishing in any conditions, and the reeling action feels incredibly refined and solid. The design is also top-notch — easily one of the best-looking reels out there. I especially like that it auto locks when the spool is open and you start reeling, a feature you won’t find on the Authority. Overall, it’s a strong, smooth, and great-looking reel that performs exactly how a high-end setup should.","textLength":534,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":true,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Amir N.","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-10-29T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Pure Fishing","siteUrl":"https://www.purefishing.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/3500_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"8950-1310317","title":"PENN Slammer IV Saltwater Spinning Reel","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/8950-1310317","category":"saltwater-fishing-spinning-reels","reviewCount":56,"ratingCount":56,"averageRating":4.9,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":1,"3":1,"4":2,"5":52},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7398445,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Quality Reel","text":"I have owned Penn reels all my life.

I now own the 3500, 4500, and 5500 models. My fishing is mainly northeast surf casting (Sandy Hook and Martha's Vineyard), and for this I prefer the 3500 and 4500. I find the 5500 to be a bit heavy and oversized for surf casting, so it's rarely used. I'm sure the 4500 can handle anything I'd be after, which is bluefish, striper, albacore, and bonito. Last year I landed a great 13 lb alibi on the 3500, with a matching Penn rod. It was a fantastic fight and the fish was good for the daily 1st Place False Albacore prize in the Derby (see photo). I like the smooth, quiet retrieve and excellent line lay. Casting is smooth and the bail is reliable, for the most part. I only snapped off about three lures due to the bail slamming closed on me during the cast, probably these incidents were my fault and happened mostly at night. I compared these reels to the Japanese brands and found Penn to be the best value overall. The build quality is definitely there.
