In my opinion, Penn Slammer Braid is the best on the market, I'm a 'bang for your buck' type angler, and the Slammer Braid has hit the nail on the head. It holds all the qualities of a premium top-tier line, is extremely versatile and like anything Slammer - I know I can count on it.

You'll never find me fishing for one species, and the Slammer braid's smoothness and high abrasion resistance makes it great for the the many different fishing applications I enjoy. Being smooth and having the ability to hold up to structure are key to making a good braid, and the PENN Slammer Braid maintains these attributes over time whereas other braids on the market often don't. Another feature that makes Slammer Braid applicable to even more situations, is the fact that it is a multicoloured, metered braid. This gives anglers an advantage when trolling or dropping baits and lures, as you'll know exactly how much line you have out. We often rely on our electronics to mark fish before we even wet a line, and once you do, counting the colours on your braid as you drop your bait can make all the difference when trying to tempt frustrating species to bite. You can keep the bait in the strike zone the whole time rather than guessing.

While on a recent week-long trip with my old man to the Mid North Coast, the braid proved itself, holding up after hours of consecutive casting, jigging, and dropping down large live baits. The Slammer Braid didn't lose any colouration and didn't fluff up even though I was casting for hours on end. This is a sure sign of a high quality braid. Even after all those hours of casting and use, in the back of my mind I still had the confidence that I would be able to land versatility. On this trip, the braid showed its versatility, while proving it can withstand some of the toughest fish and environments anglers will experience.

With spools available in 150 metres, 400 metres, and 3000 metres, this range opens possibilities to use it in more fishing situations. It can be used anywhere from tailor fishing off the beach on a small spin reel to game fishing for marlin and deep dropping over the shelf. The larger spools would make great a backing for game reels, and as it is such a high quality braid it won't have to be replaced often. When game fishing and trolling the multicolour braid would also be very useful when setting up a spread, as you'd know exactly how far each bait/lure is from the boat. This way you can easily stagger them.
