i have one... penn 260 slammer retails for around $140, so in a combo, it is probably a good buy. depends on the rod they are pairing it with. ideal for KG whiting and light gear fishing.

where you buying the combo?

Fri, 2010-01-08 09:38

surely they would be able to recommend you something and spool it up for you?

 

Personally (if the store has it) I'd go Sunline PE or Daiwa TD Sensor - both are very nice braids for casting and not too harsh on the hip pocket.
