Added Toughness The Penn Sargus II has a tough act to follow and it followed well. The Sargus II comes in a tough metal shell of which can take a beating protecting the gears and everything else inside. This rigidity allows the gears to be kept in precise alignment even under heavy loads. Its rigid qualities continue towards the tough stainless steel shaft, reel stem, and reel foot. There is no (unfelt) flex especially at the reel stem and foot area and this is important when battling a brute of a fish.
