Penn Battalion Solid Hybrid Boat Casting Rod 2.28m 4–8g Fast

Penn Battalion Solid Hybrid Boat Rod — Ultra-Light Precision for Mixed Species

The Penn Battalion Solid Hybrid Boat Rod 4–8g combines the proprietary Solid Spiral Armor blank technology with Fuji K Alconite guides to deliver exceptional sensitivity and power in an ultra-slim profile. Built for versatility, this 2.28m fast-action rod handles both multiplier and fixed-spool reels, making it the ideal choice for light boat fishing targeting multiple species.

Unbeatable Strength-to-Weight Ratio

The Solid Spiral Armor carbon blank technology is exclusive to Penn and creates incredibly slim blanks with remarkable power reserves. At just 279g, this rod remains responsive through long fishing sessions while maintaining the backbone to handle unexpected runs. The solid carbon construction provides superior sensitivity for detecting subtle bites and monitoring lure action, even in deeper water or current.

Versatile Reel Compatibility and Control

The DPS-type reel seat and optimally dimensioned high-grade EVA handle accommodate both multiplier and fixed-spool reels with equal comfort. Nine saltwater-proof Fuji K guides with Alconite rings ensure smooth line flow, minimize friction, and stand up to years of saltwater exposure. The fast action and 4–8g casting weight make this rod perfect for finesse techniques with soft plastics, light jigs, and small crankbaits.
