Availability of the new Clash® II

Penn Clash II: The Ultimate Inshore Spinning Reel

 

COLUMBIA, S.C. — PENN®, with a legacy of global leadership in saltwater fishing gear, announces the availability of the new Clash® II inshore reel. Featuring proprietary CNC Gear™ Technology and the HT-100™ Carbon Fiber Drag System, the PENN Clash II is overbuilt to handle any inshore species.

The Clash II’s Clutch Armor System and Hydrophobic Line Roller Bearing ensure strength and protection to critical components in all weather conditions without adding weight, while the Leveline Slow Oscillation System ensures perfect line lay cast after cast. Available in sizes from 1000 to 5000 with high speed models in the 3000 and 4000 sizes, the Clash II has the right size and gear ratio for any inshore application. The lightweight PENN Clash II reels pair perfectly with the new Fenwick® HMG® Inshore rods for the ultimate inshore setup for redfish, specks, snook, flounder, and the many other species found in skinnier water.

Surpassing competitors with leading CNC Gear Technology, the Clash II delivers unmatched durability, smoothness, and precision. Smooth performance directly correlates to durability, allowing anglers to stay on the water longer and catch more fish. With the HT-100 Carbon Fiber Drag System and an 8+1 stainless-steel bearing system, the Clash II is designed to handle the abuse that comes with heavier use in a saltwater environment.

“The Clash II is the highest functioning reel to date from PENN,” said PENN Vice President of Marketing, Jon Schlosser. “It’s high speed and fast moving, delivering inshore anglers a unique combination of power and performance paired with durability and intuitive line-management features.”
