Great reel, I've relegated my shimano spheros to "back up" duty since I got the clash. Not saying one is better than another, but for me, the Penn looks, feels, and acts like a sturdier fishing platform. I'll trade a few ounces of weight to have the full metal construction. My reels have helped break more than one fall walking slippery jetties. I guarantee plastics and composites aren't surviving a fall like full aluminum will. It's not a stella, saltiga, or torque but at the price point, I just don't see anyone being dissapointed with "bang for the buck."

Reel is slightly smaller than an 850 SSVI but is a very smooth reel with a strong smooth drag. I have mine spoiled with 65 lb braid. I like this reel very much.
