Abu Garcia Beast X Trolling Casting Rod X2 842 HP 2.54m 40–130g Fast

Abu Garcia Beast X 842 HP — Built for Big Pike Trolling

The Beast X 842 HP is a dedicated 2.54 m trolling casting rod engineered to handle XXL lures and planer boards in the toughest conditions. Its fast action blank with a slightly softer tip cushions aggressive strikes while the strong backbone converts bites into secure hook-ups and controls monster pike.

Specialized Trolling Action for Planer Boards

The 30T carbon blank delivers a fast taper with enough give in the tip to absorb the shock of planer board fishing and oversized lures, even in rough, windy weather. The powerful backbone ensures you stay in control during the fight and land more fish.

Designed by Pike Anglers, for Pike Anglers

Every detail—from the ergonomic KCS-type reel seat and high-density EVA grips to the shortened rear handle and XXL hook keeper—has been refined through long-term testing by European pro pike anglers. The robust EVA handle resists damage in rod holders, and the compact design maximizes space in your boat.
