The Penn Warfare II Trolling & Drifting rod positions itself as an entry-level rod for sea fishing when trolling or drifting. From the first handling, its solid construction and balance reveal a rod designed to last and perform season after season.
The choice of a single-piece construction gives this Penn rod exceptional performance. Without any spigot or intermediate connection, the blank deploys all its raw power without any loss of energy. This maximum rigidity allows you to effectively control the most combative fish during your trolling or drifting fishing sessions.
The ultra-resistant blank absorbs violent rushes and faithfully transmits each movement of the fish, giving you good fishing sensations and good control of extended fights with pelagic species and large marine predators.
The ergonomic EVA handle ensures a secure and comfortable grip, even in difficult weather conditions or with wet hands. This dense material absorbs vibrations and offers a natural non-slip grip, reducing fatigue during intense fights.
The robust reel seat is strategically positioned to ensure perfect balance of the rod-reel ensemble. This thoughtful design makes maneuvering easier and improves your efficiency during repeated assemblies and disassemblies.
Equipped with an integrated gimbal, the Warfare II excels in the long-lasting combats that characterize trolling and drifting fishing. This system allows the rod to be firmly wedged against the body or in a harness, reallocating effort across the whole body instead of just the arms and back. This means you keep all your energy to master trophy fish.
Measuring 1.70m, this rod offers the ideal compromise for stand up fights on a boat. This length allows excellent maneuverability in the confined space of a cockpit while maintaining sufficient leverage to apply constant pressure on the fish. Perfect for both coastal and offshore fishing.
The Warfare II Trolling/Drifting range is available in two versions to cover all techniques and target species:
- 30-50 lb: ideal for medium-sized fish, coastal fishing, and species like small tuna, bonito, bluefish...
- 50-100 lb: designed for large pelagic predators, extreme fights with tuna
Despite its entry-level positioning, the Warfare II has nothing to envy more expensive rods in terms of reliability and performance. As usual, Penn has focused on robustness and efficiency, offering fishermen accessible professional equipment that will resist the extreme conditions of sea fishing.
