Penn Slammer II Spin Rod

Built to muscle big snapper, mulloway and offshore pelagics, the Penn Slammer II Spin Rod delivers brutal strength with surprising sensitivity.

The Penn Slammer II Spin Rod is designed for serious anglers who demand power, durability and balance in one dependable spinning rod. Whether you’re casting metals at longtail tuna, working plastics for snapper or soaking baits offshore, this rod range is engineered to handle Australian conditions without compromise.

At the core is PENN’s advanced SLSX blank construction. Built on the proven SLS graphite platform and reinforced with an inner cross carbon weave, SLSX adds serious lifting strength without unnecessary weight. The result is a blank that recovers crisply, casts accurately and has the backbone to turn hard-fighting fish away from structure.

Fuji K-Series tangle-free guides with Alconite inserts and stainless steel frames ensure smooth line flow and reduced wind knots, especially when fishing braid in windy coastal conditions. A lightweight Fuji graphite reel seat is optimised for each model, creating a secure connection and enhanced feel through the blank.

Finished with hybrid EVA and cork grips shaped for improved ergonomics, the Slammer II Spin Rod feels balanced and comfortable during long sessions. Select models feature durable rubber gimbal butts for added stability in rod holders or fighting belts when battling bigger fish offshore.

From inshore reef edges to bluewater missions, the Slammer II Spin Rod is built to perform under pressure.
