Abu Garcia Beast X2 Casting Rod 862 Xxhp 2.59m 60–230g Moderate Fast

Abu Garcia Beast X 862 XXHP — Built for Giant Pike

The Beast X 862 XXHP is a powerhouse casting rod engineered for serious pike anglers targeting trophy fish with large lures. At 274 g, it's over 15% lighter than previous generations while delivering the backbone to handle 60–230 g lures and fight the biggest predators in freshwater.

Fast-Taper Carbon Blank for Power and Control

The 30T carbon blank combines a moderate fast action with a powerful backbone, designed to cast heavy swimbaits, jerkbaits, and big rubber lures all day without fatigue. The fast taper design loads efficiently on the cast and provides reliable hook-setting power, even at distance.

Anti-Tangle Guides and Ergonomic Components

Equipped with 12 Seaguide XOG stainless steel guides that minimise line tangles during aggressive casts, plus a KCS-type reel seat and high-density EVA grips for secure handling in wet conditions. The integrated hook keeper safely stores your lure between spots.
