My advice is to keep emailing and try messaging on Facebook. My experience was 2 years ago, with the whole Covid situation, no way of knowing his status.

He's a one man shop, slow to respond. I sent emails over a few month period about my order, which he would slowly respond too. Eventually a few months later I got my order, and, a bonus plug thrown in for my wait. This was about 2 years ago, not sure if anything has changed since then.

Wts rods, Skinner DM, Black Hole, Lami etc

I'd take the Skinner rod for 210, my nephew is a huge fan. Can meet in Edison if that works. -

Jim from Penn is awesome, Penn is sending me a replacement handle. Once I try that, I can report back.

Thank you everyone, this forum is the best. I'm away from the reel for a few days but have made a list of all the suggestions. And Jim/Penn also reached out, great customer service. Best regards, Ed

Jim, you are awesome. Thank you! Best regards, Ed

Haven't tried that, worth a shot!

So here is an odd one. I got my Slammer III 5500 back along with several other reels from my service guy a few weeks ago. Didn't use it as my truck had 6 other rods in it. Went to use it the other day, and noticed the reel handle screw was out. Tried screwing it in, but, it wont catch on the threads. It fits in the handle by itself no issue. It fits in the reel by itself no issue. But when you put the handle in the reel slot, the screw goes in, but wont catch the threads. I can turn and turn and it doesn't go in. Tried a Q-tip in case there was sand, no difference. Had someone else try in case it was me, same issue. I'm 145 miles away from my service guy so I cant bring it in. Any thoughts? Thanks, Ed

My Slammer III 4500 has the same exact issue. Sent it in to the factory in May, last I heard its going to be another 8 weeks. Hopefully a tech will call me and let me know the issue so I can share it with others.

The screw is catching the threads in the third picture. It’s very odd. I will ask in the Penn forum thank you

PM the location you lost it and the size. Can meet up in East Hampton/Amagansett/Sag almost anytime I'm not fishing, or I am heading to Montauk this afternoon.
