Penn quality is second-to-none. Although many prefer for sea applications, I'll always have a Penn reel on my bass boat - especially the Clash!

Bottom Line

The Clash II would make a great option if you're looking for a reel which can be used in all waters. Many anglers say this is their best reel for catching saltwater species such as Redfish - but this reel would work perfectly for finesse techniques for bass as well. A tough, durable reel which will perform in any environment.
