Penn Clash II Spinning 3000 6.8kg 306g 104cm

Penn Clash II 3000 HS — fast retrieve for active inshore predators

The Clash II 3000 HS (High Speed) combines a 7.0:1 gear ratio and 104 cm retrieve per turn with 6.8 kg of braking power in a lightweight 306 g full-metal body. Built for sea bass, mackerel, and light shore jigging, this saltwater spinning reel delivers precision and protection in all conditions.

CNC Gear Technology and HT-100 carbon drag

Penn's CNC Gear Technology machines gears to tight tolerances for smooth cranking and long service life. The HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers deliver consistent stopping power up to 6.8 kg without fade, even under repeated runs from hard-fighting inshore species.

Protected components for saltwater durability

The Hydrophobic Line Roller Bearing repels water and salt, while the Clutch Armor System shields the pinion gear and drive mechanism from spray and rain. An aluminum spool, full metal body, and 9 stainless steel bearings (8+1) ensure reliability in coastal environments. The Leveline Slow Oscillation System lays line evenly for consistent casting distance with both mono and braid.

Choose the right variant

The Clash II family spans sizes 2000–5000 with standard (6.2:1) and high-speed (7.0:1) ratios. Match the model to your target and technique:

• 2000 (235 g, 68 cm retrieve, 4.5 kg drag) — ultra-light spinning, small lures, trout, perch

• 2500 (249 g, 84 cm retrieve, 5.4 kg drag) — light game, small sea bass, eging

• 3000 (286 g, 89 cm retrieve, 6.8 kg drag) — standard ratio for sea bass, light spinning, eging

• 3000 HS (306 g, 104 cm retrieve, 6.8 kg drag) — high-speed retrieve for active lure control, sea bass, mackerel, light shore jigging

• 4000 (301 g, 89 cm retrieve, 6.8 kg drag) — standard ratio for larger sea bass, bluefish, shore jigging

• 4000 HS (323 g, 112 cm retrieve, 6.8 kg drag) — fast retrieve for Mediterranean predators: bonito, barracuda, bluefish

• 5000 (454 g, 96 cm retrieve, 9 kg drag) — heavy inshore and light offshore, large predators
