Not a bad reel for $120.00
It was between the Slammer and the Fin-Nor Ahab.
(8lb - walleyes - mono)
The bail springs in this reel (slammer) are famous for breaking. But the Fin-Nor Ahab is $220.00 and was taken over by Zebco Co.
booooooooooooooooooooo
I tried the slammer with 8 lb Cajun line from Cabelas and I'm happy with it. I still might buy a Fin-nor but I cringe to the thought of anything Zebco in my tackle box.
Either way I am happy with the Slammer - 6 months so far of heavy use and dropped in sand. I DO NOT maintain or clean my reels. I am indeed hard on them. The slammer has been turn key and keeping up.If I was to get a Fin-Nor I would probably oil it or maybe keep it out of the muck. For a while.
Try the slammer first, it's cheaper. Then get the Fin - Nor. Don't do the Okuma Crap, or the Quantum
yuppy thing. Reviews say it all. A $220 Fin-Nor is cheaper than three $80 Quantums.
