Penn Slammer IV Unboxing, Dunking & Catching Some “Trophy” First Fish 

I'm that confident in the quality of these videos, I'm liking them during the advert at the start.

I bought a cheap on special Penn rod, the warfare model in 3 to 6 kg and 7 foot and it's one of the best rods i've had. From day one I've increased my hook up rate no end. From catching small Tommies, garfish, whiting etc, to jigging for squid, which i cleaned up with using it the first time (7 in less than 1 hour). it's also been great on good sized salmon as well

These videos have me in Texas, looking at shipping costs for a Penn reel and a Stealth kayak every single time!

G'day rod. What a legend u are in the craft u teach!! Watching your content has been the drive I needed to get on the water myself. Your knowledge is endless and everything you discuss on your Chanel makes sence to me. Keep up the amazing videos!!

The feel of a new reel is just heaven!!

Wow it like Christmas day. Shiny new gear for you and a new video for all of us. I am right there with you on the Penn train. I have been fishing in Florida for more than 30 years and 90% of my reels have been Penn. I have a 30 year old International II's that still sees service on a wreck rig.

Great content as always rod!! I love watching your adventures. Glad too see you frothing over the new penn gear as well. I was really hoping peen would have made a one piece handle this time round. I find there reels to be great but the two piece handle let’s them down. Keep up the amazing work mate!!

I always enjoy watching you fish those waters, I've seen you catch many mack tuna, although they aren't popular with your family for eating they sure do fight hard, good looking fish too! Just heading into winter here, snow coming soon, looking forward to your summer fishing videos. As always, great video quality and production, thanks and take care.

Hey Rod good to see you back on the water with some well deserve equipment to bring in them monsters out there in Australia. To me Penn is the top of the line fishing equipment. I like that 2500 is it small but strong. Stay safe out there Rod and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas.

Nice new equipment means more fishing and hope they don't snap like last time. Thank you for the videos and will be waiting for the next one.

This was a good trip with new rods. ✌️🎣👍

Good start for the season Rod. Love those Penn reels. Love ya brother, stay safe!

Please take it easy rod, I’ve followed this channel since under 3k viewers. Please done push that shoulder recovery for us. We will always be here, but your health is more important than views

Great Video, Cheers Rod, and grats on the new rods and Reels..awesome stuff. Nice Smooth Beach Launch and indeed You Enjoy a nice Paddle and with 14:24 such awesome background Views of the City...Stunning Views ...I can see why you enjoy this so much..good sport...good fitness ..good views and at times a Nice Catch!

Great to see you back on the kayak.

I think these gods are the best! Thanks for the content Rod! Appreciate the effort!

Thank You VERY Much for Your gentle touch, "Nice" is the word, I guess. And a REQUEST - an annual vid inventory update of Your Rods, Reels, and Lines - more "One to Rule", pls. Sometimes changes come quickly. As a beginner saltwater shore angler with 60-plus years as a hardcore Rocky Mountain fly fisher, I cannot get enough of Your type of content - well-thot-out & trustworthy from a gentleman. In that lite, perhaps some separate vid with Your lens deep in Your everyday tackle. Regardless, Thanks Again, Rod.

Rod, you lucky guy! New gear and a hookup first time out. Can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos.🙏✌✌😎

From start to finish brilliant mate, love the kayak vids just something about it, maybe I'm biased being a yak angler myself 😆 You persuaded me to buy the slammer 111 and what an awesome reel for kayak angling. Great content as always Rod, keep up the good work, much love from England 💪💪💪🎣🎣👍

You: Opening packages like it's Christmas in Sept'. Me: Green with envy with no packages (also in Sept.)

Man, that was a super smooth launch!

Thanks Rod, some peace and fun.

Thanks for the constant awsome content 👌legend!!!!

So stoked for ya mate! This was a really lekker video to watch! A bit of ASMR there with the unboxing too 👌👌 Primo stuff bud! 🔥🔥

Good to see you back in kayak action!

Love those Slammers versatility. Own 2 for 4 years. Kayak fishing off NJ. Never underestimate a Penn slammer’s durability. Can’t beat it!

Always enjoy your yak sessions. Didn’t know about the 2500 slammer coming out. Cool! Thanks Rod.

Same as me mate. I'm left handed and do everything right handed. Except for writing. And have my reel handles on the right. Working lures is so much easiest with the left .

Nice New Penn Slammers Rod👍 I’ll have to order mine. Thanks for the Awesome video.

Double the excitement for this one! Looking at the Slammer IV for my next reel.

Quality. Your experience shows. Cool and clam. Good stuff.

Nice video Rod, to the point and entertaining.

Glad to see you back on the kayak Rod! I know the viewership may be a bit lower, but its definitely something I love to watch

PENN is a high-quality company. I love the mystery of what fish is next 👍

You're a patient man Rod. I would have been like a kid at Christmas.

Great content brother.. I'm looking at a slammer at the moment as well as the Diawa hq saltist a day I've been dead locked.. I know the mac wasn't the fish you wanted but I saw all I needed to see in the slammer to sway me. Thanks for this 🙏

Woohoooo yesss 🥳🥳🥳🥳 new slammer gear & kayak fishing on the goldy 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hey Rod great video! I'm a big fan of Penn reels also. Love my Fierce and Sargus 8ooos.

Go Rod,can't resist those Penn,good gear,cheers,stay safe.

Awesome vid rod! The new slammers and Penn rods look the goods!

Your videos are Great ! Seems like they would be a marketable tv series. Thanks Dave in Colorado.

Jamaican 🇯🇲 living in 🇬🇧 and I LOVE YOUR CONTENT!!!! Keep going 💪🏽💙

Can't wait to see this thing in action.

Same as me! I write left handed, throw right handed, cast both. Can even 10-pin bowl alternating hands 😂

Love the attitude when you release the fish because your family didnt like to eat mac tuna. Keep make a great video Sir

Awesome vid Rod!

Goodmorning Sir!! Just woke up 6:48 in the morning. Currently watching here from the Philippines. Stay Safe Sir.

I’ve dislocated my right shoulder twice in six months. Years later it not the same. Use caution.

Hahahaha you’re like me! I’m left handed but I wind with my right because from the first time I picked up a fishing reel, the handle was on the right. I got accustomed to it. I also write with my right hand despite being a lefty lol

PENN in da house.. glad to see those brands.. can't wait to see some action..💪💪💪

Love it when you hook up Rod!

It's tempting! I hope Slammer IV arrive in Malaysia a.s.a.p

Woot! Hes back! And with new gear!

I always think about that guy that got dragged fifteen miles off shore when he snagged a giant blue marlin in a kayak. One day..

Always enjoy your content whether you’re catching trash or trophies. Great review. I also use a 7’ med veritas inshore. I love the penn reels but the selection of rods never really suited what I was looking for. Stay great mate!

So jealous stuck in lockdown, can't wait to get back out there.👍

Keep it up mate love your work 👍🏻

These videos be keeping me sane

Hi from Malaysia 👋..i also have that 2500 Penn.It working very well for my light jingging game..

Love your videos. I always grab some food and enjoy your adventures.

Perfect way to wake up on a Saturday in lockdown!! Love the vids mate

This vid is such a huge win and im not even passed halfway through

That tuna made that new rod work pretty bloody hard!

Thanks Rod 🙏

Cool kayak and super reels. Love my Penns too.... Just take care of your shoulder Rod.... Tight Lines always buddy 👌🏼😁

🤣 we are the same, write with our left hand but our dominant hand is the right hand🤙🏿.

That mac tuna put a good hurt on that new set up, solid content man. I thought it was a shark because of all the pole bender. But the runs said it all. I know what I'm gonna save up for now.

I’ve learned a lot from watching your content! Good stuff mate! Aloha from Hawaii! Cheeeee 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

Nice setup looks great that slamer new generation!!

Love your new outfits especially the 2500 reel... I'm a sucker for smaller reels....

I've "used" daiwa, shimano abu's okuma's etc etc etc pretty much all of the brands. Penn is the most durable in my experiences. Great company overall they are for the fisherman. That's my general impression I have gotten from using them and using their customer service. I almost exclusively only use Penn now. Customer service HAS to be on par with the product. I have usually got shamed and was told it was user error time and time again from a lot of companies.

Great video mate

I reeely enjoyed this one, good stuff mad dog! A blooming good size Mac tuna, good to see the slammers in action, they sound super smooth like Barry White 🙌🎣 noice flatty too, not sure what he’s doing out there 🤷‍♂️ must be staying at the reef hotel 🐠

You have such good fishing videos, keep at it!

"Who watched the live stream knows that this braid doesn't break easily." 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣 I have been looking for a new set up these last days (lost some gear in the surf recently), I have watched at least five slammer IV video reviews... You are the first one to go out there and catch fish with the dam thing.

Good stuff..! My slammer 3 became stone age. Will grab the new one.! NZ fishing.

Love the new reels the rods well for me we need some local content. Plenty of local rod builders/assemblers to support guys

Thanks!

Hoody Rod, thanks for another great video and review of the new Penn gear. I have a Penn gear user for over 40 years mate and the new 2500 is just what I need for the land base fishing I do, so glad Penn did this new real as I have been in need of a new combo so will rush out and purchase etc. If you can would like your opinion how the 2500 handles squid? Been watching your channel since you started and love your no frills content and great narration, love your cooking too....keep doing your content which offers so much.....take care mate from South Oz. Peace.

G’day Rod, great to meet you finally that morning. You definitely had more luck than me but you were a bit further out than me also. Another awesome video thanks heaps. Michael

I was cheering for ya!! Next time...I feel a HUGE one coming your way!!!! XOXOXOX

My wife yelling out at hearing this playing from the other room "ITS A NIMBUS 2000!"

Ha, I always do that too, hope the first fish on a new rod was something good. If it was a trash fish it was always disappointing. Went to a private lake this last weekend and caught some big Rainbow Trout. The wooly bugger was the champ of the day.

Awesome mate you have come such a long way how about fishing some creeks I know you can’t stay on a island if you do but would love to see you mix it up just a tiny bit keep up the great work

Going to miss the white rods. They looked dope.

Awesome vid. Thanks 😊

Nice spining reel..👍🏿👍🏿

Aaarrrggghhhh!!! It’s finally here! My future Xmas pressie

Mate, such a nice video! One day I might be joining you on the yak fishing. So cool! 😎

fishing gear that anglers dream of 😍

Cool stuff man! Said it your “gram” post but you oughtta see what that 2500 can handle! Love my slammer IIIs got Slammer IVs comin, Cheers man! Love the vids as always

I set up my reels the same way, because I'm just like you. I write lefty but fish with my right.

Nice quality gear there! I think I may have to update myself...haha.

I'm a Penn user, going to load some more Penn into my collections

You're the first person I've heard of that's the same as me. I write with my left hand but my right is my dominant. I cast both ways and also have the handle on the right. No one seems to understand 😂😂

Oh yessss more video pls 🥰

Very good reell, 👍👍👍

Hey mate, love your videos. I’m really wanting to see your rig/baiting style with the treble hook. Can you pleeease do a quick video explain this? Including leader size? You could do it on frozen bait if you’re worried about people being upset with live bait etc. Would love it if you uploaded this! I’ve also seen you rig your soft plastics differently on the hook too. I think it’d be a great video. Thanks either way I love your videos.

I see you found the refuel pack. It’s awesome. Some of mine work for ages while I’ve had a couple simply drop dead after a few trips. Wish they’d make them for the 9,10.

Great handling on that tuna.
