Penn Carnage II Boat Rods are designed to accommodate the compact reels that anglers use to achieve greater drag pressures with braided lines. Penn Carnage II Boat Rods are incredibly pleasant rods to fish with as they are lighter, use top of the line components, and have slower actions than comparable rods.

Great feel and quality
I have this paired up with a clash 8500 and 80lb power pro. It’s an excellent combo. Extremely well made with the double aluminum nut ( I do have to adjust the tightness some times...). The grip is easy to hang on to as well and very durable. I have pulled up some large fish with ease and had no problem at all. Haven’t reeled in anything over 40lbs on it yet though... I hope to have the same results when I do
ProsGreat quality and good for jigging/trolling
ConsNot great for casting due to the fast action and short length.

November 23, 2018
Hi there, I have the Slammer III in 8500 and 10500 sizes. Would I be better off to buy the jigging carnage II or spinning Boat spinning rods? I will be using the 10500 for large bronze whailer sharks and large Yellowtails Kingfish here in nz (cousins of your amberjacks) up to 30kg-usually live baiting, but might try and do some trolling for larger pelagics. Then the 8500 SLAIII will be for heavy popping and smaller live baiting. So I would want to be able to cast far off the boat with the 8500 but just drop live bait and might jig heavy with the 10500 too. What model rods in jigging and normal spinning would you suggest? I thought the 80-200lb jigging carnage II for the 10500 and the 4080S76 or the 50100S70 for the 8500. Also do Penn have a list of what size reels go with each rod? like a brochure or something? I would buy lots more if there was more info to the Carnage II range. Cheers heaps mate. David down under...p.s. please get some cheaper international shipping rates...they sting! really sting!!

I don't believe Penn has a brochure to list size reels to size rods. So the RAMJG50100S64 paired with your 8500 slammer 3 for jigging and regular boat fishing if you need a popping rod I would look at the TZS78HBLK

Looking to pair a slammer 3 with this rod to bottom fish, using 12 oz of weight, which rod and reel size should i buy
1 Answers
I'd suggest the CARBWII 4080S70 paired with either a 5500 or 6500 size Slammer 3. I'd suggest going with the reel size that will hold approximately 300 yards of the particular line you are using.

Looking to match up the Slammer III 6500 with this rod: CARBWII 4080S76... Targeting schoolie tuna and yellowtail up to 50-60 lbs on the west coast. Would you recommend the 6500 size reel or step up to 7500... looking for nice rod/reel balance to cast light surface, stickbaits, 2-4 oz flat falls, maybe a waxwing sometimes too...?
1 Answers
It would not be necessary to step up to the 7500 size. The Slammer III 6500 would pair well with CARBWII 4080S76 and can handle the fish you are targeting.
