The Penn Overseas XT II rod asserts itself as the ideal travel companion for all exotic jigging fishing enthusiasts. This Penn casting rod was developed to accompany roaming anglers in their quest for big fish around the world, combining technical performance, ease of use, and limited space.
Built from a high modulus carbon blank, this rod benefits from a remarkable weight/power ratio: light enough to limit fatigue during extended sessions, while delivering the necessary power reserve to control large pelagic fish.
This lightness results in exceptional responsiveness, particularly appreciated for dry and precise strikes, maximizing your chances of solidly hooking wary fish or those with furtive bites.
The carbon X-wrap technology reinforces the blank structure with a cross-winding of carbon fibers. This process significantly increases resistance to twists and pressures, while preserving the lightness and sensitivity of the assembly. Your rod withstands the most violent fights without giving way.
For optimal fishing comfort, you will enjoy a high density EVA handle with an ergonomic design. Its shape naturally fits the hand, evenly distributing pressure and eliminating tension points that cause cramps and discomfort.
This design allows for long fishing sessions, a significant advantage during intensive days of vertical jigging or lure fishing. Whether you are constantly stimulating or remaining in a waiting position, your hand maintains optimal comfort.
The excellent grip of this Penn rod becomes a valuable aid during fights with big fish. The high-density EVA maintains its grip even when wet, salty, or in cold temperatures, frequent situations in offshore fishing.
This grip reliability allows you to maintain total control during powerful runs, spectacular jumps, and the characteristic rushes of large pelagics. There is no risk of the rod turning or slipping in your hand at critical moments.
The Overseas XT II Jigging is fitted with Fuji Alconite rings known for their high-end equipment performance. These rings combine a stainless steel anti-corrosion frame with ultra-resistant Alconite ceramic inserts.
The Alconite offers exceptional hardness that resists the abrasion of thick braids used in heavy jigging, while preserving a perfectly smooth surface that generates a minimum of friction. Your launches gain in distance and precision, while retrieval remains smooth even under high tension.
These rings have been positioned to evenly distribute stresses over the entire length of the blank, maximizing lifting power and protecting the structure during extreme fights.
Penn has perfectly understood the needs of traveling anglers by including a Cordura travel tube. Your rod travels safely during your air travel to the Seychelles, Panama, Norway or any other dream fishing destination. The water-resistant Cordura also protects your equipment from moisture during storage between outings.
Whether you practice deep vertical jigging, slow jigging or speed jigging, this Penn Overseas XT II adapts to all modern techniques. Its progressive action absorbs violent attacks while retaining the sensitivity necessary to detect subtle bites.
Target tuna, amberjacks, lyres, Giant trevally (GT), groupers or any other predator depending on your destinations, this universal rod responds to the diversity of species encountered.
