Quick take
Lightweight saltwater spinning reel with full metal body and carbon fiber drag washers for smooth, responsive performance.
The Clash II 3000 HS is a compact spinning reel with a full metal body and sideplate, built for shore and kayak anglers throwing lures in salt water.

Nine bearings and the Clutch Armor System round out a reel at about 306 grams that suits bass, pollack and wrasse style lure fishing.
