The Penn Tidal XT Lowrider Solid Carbon Tip is part of the Penn Tidal surfcasting concept, a range built for anglers chasing extreme casting distances from the shore. The rod uses a very slim, lightweight blank made from a blend of 36T and 40T carbon, giving it a responsive feel in the hand. Carbon X-wrap technology adds power to the blank while reducing twisting, which translates into improved casting accuracy and strong casting performance. The sensitive solid carbon tip is designed to register even the slightest bite, so knocks and rattles from wary fish are not missed. The rod is finished with saltwater-proof Fuji Lowrider guides with Alconite rings and a special X-shrink casting grip.
