In terms of smoothness, the Penn Clash II HS spinning reel is generally smooth and feels connected, thanks to its tough CNC Gears. Weight wise, the Penn Clash II HS is considered lightweight for a full metal bodied reel. The cut outs at the rotor, spool, body (near the stem), and sections of the handle definitely helped with weight reduction, without compromising toughness.
