re: Anyone have a Penn Clash II spinning reel?

I have 2 penn conflict 2 3000s and I love them both on shimano clarus rods. I also have a penn battle 2 1000, 2000, 2500, 2x 4000, 5000, and 8000 also a battle 3 6000. And I can safely say that the battle 2/3 reels at their $100-150 price point will be more than adequate for anything up to 8ft blacktip/nurse sharks. I exclusively fish the marsh and ocean with all my penn reels. I have caught multiple black drum and redfish over 10 lbs including 3 black drum over 25lbs with the penn battle 2 2500, still feels luke the day i bought it. Other than rinsing them I have never done any other maintenance on them. The only reel I need to do maintenance on is my 8000, and thats after 10 sharks 5-8ft long. It needs a the drag system to be replaced it started sticking on a monster nurse shark and I think it made me lose about a 7ft spinner shark. I don't find going up in price after the battle series adds much value. The reels are already bulletproof and have more than enough drag to tear your arm off or break a rod. I only own 2 conflict 2 3000s because I bought both used from a guy that used them one time and just prefers his baitcasters, I bought 2 combos for lest than the cost of 1. I just don't see the use in paying more than the battle series, the conflict and I'm sure the even high priced clash are definitely nicer. But for a spinning rod in the 1000-6000 range the battles are IMHO the best bang for your buck and I have never used one of my battle 2s and thought I was unhappy with this reel in any way. 2000-3000 sized reels are my sweet spot for marsh /Bay fishing.
