Finnor Ahab 8 or 12. Will run you around the $200 range. One of the best drag systems you can get too. I would avoid the cabo. Had two and wasn't impressed with them. |

I have a 560 Slammer. It's a decent reel if you're not going to get it wet or put a lot of strain on the gears (like jugging the Canal, for example). I have it on an All Star 1088. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of Power pro line, I'm running the original load of 40# PP on it and I haven't had problems with tangles--yet. But for what you pay, a Stradic from Shimano is a much better buy. Smoother reel, probably as durable if not more so, and you get an equal quality spare spool with it.
Whether made in USA or China, Slammers have a pot metal main gear.

8000 is the one you want. I got a couple of them and haven't had any problems. Just rinse the next day after dunking. |
