Penn Battalion Solid Bait Boat Casting Rod 1.98m Fast

Penn Battalion Solid Bait Boat — Built for Big-Fish Power

The Penn Battalion Solid Bait Boat 1.98 m (6'6") delivers unmatched strength and sensitivity when targeting trophy fish with natural baits, thanks to its revolutionary Solid Spiral Armor carbon construction.

Spiral Armor Technology for Extreme Strength

The unique Solid Spiral Armor blank construction uses reinforced spiral-shaped carbon fibres to create unprecedented strength in a slim, responsive profile. This advanced architecture allows the rod to absorb heavy loads and powerful runs while maintaining the sensitivity needed to detect subtle bites on the bottom.

Lightweight Performance with Fuji Components

Despite its robust power, the Battalion Solid Bait Boat remains balanced and light in hand at just 348 g. Fuji K Alconite guides with stainless steel frames ensure smooth line flow and durability, while the DPS-type reel seat and split-grip EVA handle provide all-day comfort and secure reel mounting for demanding fights.
