"We are after quality. We want something that is not going to let us down. We are pushing it to its limits with these big fish and harsh environment".

"The Slammer has been absolutely phenomenal for us. To come out with such a compact reel that can take a beating, with such drag capacity on it, it's just about unheard of. They're so reliable and bulletproof, you just wouldn't think about doing it with anything other than a Slammer."
