Penn CLA2500 Clash Spinning Reel

Awesome smooth spinning reel , no problem cranking in the fish and at a good price

Ordered the awesome PENN CLASH 4000, called the next day to add a spool full of braid and to my delight it was already shipped!! Not only is that awesome, the reel IS SO NICE. It looks so good,, really something to look at ,all the weight saving cuts and carbon fiber accent the classic penn gold. Looks awesome and the performance as good and better than you could expect. Extra smooth drag plenty of stopping power and those CNC'ed gears are so smooth and strong. It has done the trick on Pompano and redfish so far. And they have been upper slot red's. Reel will work for many applications ordering another 2 for bait rods!!! Awesome purchase from TACKLE DIRECT and A STAPLE BRAND LIKE PENN

Have caught everything from bluefish to mahi. this reel is extremely durable and has never failed. drag system is flawless.

Good for a little bit of everything

Not as smooth as Shimano but will last just as long!

Super smooth drag, lightweight, well balanced. The new mid-tier to higher end Penn reels are brilliant

This reel is great I use it for redfish and trout on eastern coast works great. Also a good Sabiki reel.

I have been using this reel in the surf since Penn introduced a couple of years ago, putting it on a 10 foot GSB. I have tamed teen size bluefish with a drag that is smooth. It has stood up to sand and surf and has not failed me yet. It holds a fair amount of 30 or 40 lbs power pro. I liked it so much I got a second one to put on a 11 foot GSB. I highly recommend this reel for both 10 and 11 foot rods.

I love the handle on these, it feels rugged and durable. Nicely paired my 3k with 15lb 832 and it slays inshore applications

I have multiple of these reels a 2500, 3000, 4000, and a 5000. I love every single one of them and they all have performed flawlessly for me.

This Clash is one of the best reels penn has ever made! I own 4 of them! Penn really did their homework on these bad boys. I honestly can't find any flaw in them. Lightweight and strong with a great drag. What else do you want in a spinning reel used primarily for casting artificials? I also own a few slammer III reels and an amazing reel as well. Penn, has really stepped their game up over the last few years...

I’ve been a guide for 37 years and all I use is Penn Reels

This Penn reel is a great investment in my & my children's fun! The drag is powerful and smooth. I really like the round knob handles that are supplied now instead of the old paddle of yesteryear. I may eventually upgrade to an aluminum knob but that will be down the road a bit. With Penn's reputation for longevity, I look forward to handing this one down to my son. I currently use a 45 GLS I purchased about 30 years ago...so I have every intention of seeing this one get handed to my Grandchild.

Have Clash 2500 that accidently handled cobia up to 45lbs. Needed to upgrade. Awesome reels.

You can count on quality and reliability from Penn reels and this one hits the mark. Smooth operation and great feel gives excellent touch while fishing.
