Excellent performance and durable
The PENN CLA4000 reel is very smooth in both casting and retrieving, and it allows very long casts, too. The entire reel assembly is solidly built, and the extra heavy wire bail and large knob are easy to handle. I think the sealed ball bearings will continue to provide easy, smooth reel movement with little likihood of corrosive liquids or dirt getting into them. Its relatively light weight also means less fatigue at the end of a long fishing day. I am very impressed with the quality, at this moderate price level. I am planning on purchasing more of the Clash series reels in the future!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Don't buy this reel
Bought two and neither lasted one month without problems. Evidently the salt water of the surf penetrated into the reels and greatly affected performance. One became useless and the rewind became extremely stiff. The other was very rough after a few goes in the surf.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great in shore reel
I have purchased four of these to replace older Daiwa reels for in shore salt water fishing. I have used them a few times to date. I mated them with St. Ctoix 7.5 ft rods and braided line. With this set up they cast much farther than my old setup. I love the drag and the gearing system is very smooth. I have had great experience with Penn Slammers in the past for salt water fishing so I think they will hold up well. I recently purchased two Shimano Stradic CI 4+ reels and I will be doing my own long term comparison test between the Clash and the more expensive Stradic reels. Time will tell but I think the Clash will compare favorably and have the long term reliability that I am hoping for.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Solid performer
The Penn Clash offers a light weight body with smooth cranking. Combined with the best drag system in its' class this reel is built for all day comfort and the performance to get the job done. The carbon fiber trim lends itself to match up with rods with carbon fiber trim. A good value for the avid inshore fisherman at a price you can feel comfortable actually fishing with. Penn has a winner with the Clash.

Best penn yet
I haven't had the clash long but I've used it a few times now and it has preformed flawlessly. It is smoother and noticeable lighter than my battle and conflict which makes it easier to cast all day. The large Soft knob on the handle is very comfortable and easy on your hand. Over all it's a great reel I can't wait to hook up with a big red with it and see how it handles.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Penns best
The lightest penn spinning reel on the market. I gave it 4 stars because it really should come with a bearing, not a bushing on the bail roller (I replaced the bushing with a Boca Bearings ceramic bearing). Line lay is really nice too. I have 2500, 3000 and a 4000. Other reels include slammer III in 4000, 5000, 8000. Penn has really stepped their game up over the last decade or so with their inshore gear...Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great reel for $
If for some reason you want selectable anti reverse, this is not the reel for you. It has full time infinate anti reverse.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A lot of bang for the buck
I had not bought a Penn reel in 20 years I was a diehard Shimano man Then I started looking for a new 4000 size inshore reel for Hawaii I kept seeing this reel at the top of a lot of "best reel...." lists So I took the plunge I'm glad I did This thing is smooth, fast, well built, and so far totally saltwater proof It has taken some dunkings and a good rinse and some Triflow on the pivots and rollers and I am good to go My only issue is that no spare spool is included but they are available at s decent price I am already planning on purchasing another while this model still is availableVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great reel!
I was skeptical on buying this reel thinking if was some sort of knock-off but it seems legit to me! I could’ve spent the same amount (or a little more) for the new clash 2 but I like this model better! Delivered as expected as far as shipping days goes. Over all I am happy and would definitely recommend for The Who want the first gen clash..
