Penn Battalion Solid Offshore Casting Rod

Description

The Penn Battalion Solid Offshore Casting Rod is built for anglers targeting the heaviest fish the ocean can offer, whether fishing UK waters or travelling abroad. Engineered for long-distance casting and applying serious pressure on hard-fighting pelagics, it aims to bridge the gap between sensitivity and brute force. The rod uses Penn's Solid Spiral Armor technology, which incorporates reinforced spiral-shaped fibres into the blank. This high-density carbon construction removes the hollow feel of traditional rods, creating a blank that is virtually indestructible in a fight while remaining slim and responsive. Despite its power, it retains the sensitivity needed to work lures with precision and detect shy bites. Components are selected for durability in saltwater. It is fitted with premium Fuji Stainless Steel Alconite K-Guides, designed to prevent wind knots during casting and withstand braid friction under heavy load. The heavy-duty screw winch reel seat locks a fixed spool reel firmly in place, and the high-quality EVA handle provides grip and comfort for long battles. This rod suits casting and working stick baits, poppers, and heavy soft plastics. In the UK, it is suited to targeting Bluefin Tuna or casting heavy shads for large Coalfish and Pollack over deep wrecks. Overseas, it works well for casting poppers for Giant Trevally, hauling Amberjacks away from structure, or targeting Tarpon and Roosterfish. - Model: Penn Battalion Solid Offshore Casting - Length: 2.28m (7' 6") - Action: Fast Action - Blank Construction: Solid Spiral Armor Technology (High-Density Carbon) - Blank Profile: Super Slim and Lightweight - Guide Type: Fuji Stainless Steel Alconite K-Guides - Reel Seat: Heavy Duty Screw Winch - Handle Material: High-Quality High-Density EVA - Reel Compatibility: Designed for Fixed Spool (Spinning) Reels - Sections: 1 + 1 (Long tip, short handle for strength integrity) - Transport Length: 154cm - Rod Weight: 390g
