PENN Clash II Spinning Reel | Inshore Performance, CNC Gear Technology, HT-100 Drag

Rugged inshore performance for coastal anglers

The PENN Clash II is designed to handle a range of inshore targets with a blend of rugged strength and precise control. Its full metal body and sideplate provide a solid, feel-good platform, while CNC Gear Technology contributes to smooth, reliable cranking and consistent gear engagement cast after cast. This reel balances durability with a relatively light feel, making it a versatile option for both boat and shoreline setups where weather and salt are part of the day.

Precision engineering you can feel

From the first grip, the Clash II communicates durability and reliability. The full metal body and sideplate resist flex under load, and CNC Gear Technology supports precise gear engagement. HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers offer smooth, progressive resistance across a wide range of settings, helping you manage both delicate bites and assertive runs with confidence.

• Full Metal Body and sideplate for lasting durability
• CNC Gear technology for precise, consistent cranking
• HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers for smooth stopping power
• 8+1 stainless steel bearings provide a balanced, silky rotation

Beyond the core mechanics, PENN adds thoughtful design touches. The Hydrophobic Line Roller Bearing helps resist moisture and salt buildup, while the Leveline Slow Oscillation System promotes even line lay for steadier casts. Available in sizes 1000 through 5000, the Clash II offers models that suit lighter finesse when you’re casting light lines, up to more robust setups for bigger inshore battles. Pair it with your preferred rod to tailor the balance and feel to your typical coastal sessions.
