I have the 4000 and 8000 live liner model. I Haven’t tested the 8000 yet, but the 4000 is awesome. I wanted a smaller set up to cast in the surf while my larger set ups were soaking. The local bait shop guy in Hilton Head, SC said I can’t go wrong with the Penn 4000 combo. I put 30 pound braid with a 20 pound, 25 yard top shot on it. For whatever reason, that 4000 always lands the biggest fish. I’ll have ten foot surf rods with Avets and Slammers, but for some reason, they always hit my little Fierce 400. I’ve landed up to 25 pound sharks with it, it’s a fight, but the reel delivers. I don’t go inshore boat fishing with it, but I could. Maybe it will fall apart next year, but I’ve owned it for 6 years, I do the maintenance and it delivers.

Nice rod with quality components. My only complaint would be the weight. Fairly heavy for a jigging rod. Other than that match this up with a Penn Slammer 6500HS and you have a crushing combo

Excelente 👌🏼

I knew I loved the Penn Slammer 4’s before I bought this one. Super smooth drag. Doesn’t feel much different from the Penn Authority imo. They’re a heavy reel, but ready for whatever you hook up on.
