Abu Garcia Beast X Trolling Casting Rod X2 862 XH 2.59m 60

Abu Garcia Beast X 862 XH – Built for Trophy Pike Trolling

The Beast X 862 XH is a dedicated trolling casting rod engineered specifically for targeting big pike with planer boards and XXL lures. Its fast action blank combines a strong backbone with a slightly softer tip to cushion heavy strikes while converting more bites into solid hook-sets.

Fast Taper Action for Planer Board Control

The 30T carbon blank delivers a specialized fast action that handles planer boards and oversized lures even in windy conditions. The extra heavy power rating provides the backbone to drive hooks home and control monster pike throughout the fight, while the cushioned tip protects against sudden runs and head shakes.

Trolling-Specific Design Features

Every component is optimized for pike trolling: 10 Seaguide XOG stainless steel anti-tangle guides minimize line tangles, the ergonomic KCS-type reel seat ensures secure grip during hook-sets, and high-density EVA handles resist damage from rod holders. The shortened rear grip saves space in the boat, and the XXL hook keeper secures large lure hooks safely during transport.
