The Penn Overseas XT II Jigging Rod is a spinning rod considered the ultimate weapon for anglers seeking thrilling encounters with larger pelagic fish. Designed specifically for jigging in search of amberjack and tuna, this spinning rod represents the perfect alignment of raw power, ergonomics, and absolute reliability.
This rod is not lacking in nerve! Its high modulus carbon blank delivers a phenomenal reserve of power, essential for extracting fish weighing several tens of kilos from the depths or stopping their rushes. The high-performance construction guarantees a direct transfer of fighting force, giving you total control even against the toughest opponents.
The carbon X-wrap technology further enhances the structural strength of the blank. This method of crisscrossing carbon layers evenly distributes stresses during extreme battles, eliminating weak points and greatly increasing the durability of the rod.
The reduced length of this rod (1m55) constitutes a major strategic asset in intensive jigging. It significantly simplifies lure animation during repeated pumping sequences. This compactness also excels during the fight, offering optimal leverage to control the powerful rushes of tunas and maintain constant tension on the fish.
Whether fishing standing or from a drifting boat, this short format improves maneuverability and allows for rapid reactions during the explosive hits characteristic of large pelagic fish.
This rod is equipped with Fuji Alconite rings guaranteeing exceptional sliding performance and unbeatable resistance. These stainless steel rings with Alconite inserts combine lightness, extreme hardness and minimal friction coefficient.
Alconite is an ultra-resistant technical ceramic that supports the thickest lines. Its perfectly smooth surface preserves your line even during intense pumping, ensuring smooth passage and longevity of the setup.
The ring layout has been optimized to perfectly manage the stresses of heavy jigging, with a studied spacing that evenly distributes the load along the length of the blank.
The high-quality aluminum gimbal is designed to withstand the pressure of high-intensity battles. It resists the extreme twisting and compression generated by exceptionally large fish.
Its precise machining and premium materials guarantee secure locking with the reel, eliminating any undesirable play that could compromise the effectiveness of your fishing actions or safety during the battle.
Thanks to the EVA handle, you benefit from an exceptional grip in all conditions. Its ergonomic design distributes pressure perfectly on the hand.
Penn includes a Cordura travel tube. This case protects your rod during air, road or sea travel to your exotic fishing destinations. The waterproof Cordura also keeps the rod protected from moisture and salt during storage.
Whether you're targeting Mediterranean amberjack, Atlantic bluefin tuna, tropical yellowfin, or any other large pelagic, this Penn Overseas XT II Jigging is ready. Slow jigging, speed jigging, or mixed techniques are perfectly mastered thanks to the remarkable balance of this rod. Its progressive action absorbs brutal head shakes while maintaining enough reactivity to precisely animate lures.
