Penn Battalion Solid Hybrid Boat Casting Rod 2.28m 6–12g Fast

Penn Battalion Solid Hybrid Boat Rod — precision light tackle performance

The Penn Battalion Solid Hybrid 6–12 g combines ultra-sensitive Spiral Armor Solid Carbon technology with the versatility to fish both multiplier and fixed-spool reels, making it the perfect choice for mixed-species boat angling.

Unmatched strength-to-weight ratio

Penn's exclusive Solid Spiral Armor blank technology delivers a rod that's incredibly slim yet surprisingly powerful. At just 286 g, this 2.28 m fast-action rod offers the sensitivity to detect the lightest bites while providing the backbone to handle hard-fighting species. The solid carbon construction ensures durability that will last season after season.

Versatile hybrid design for any reel

The DPS-type reel seat and optimized handle length let you fish with your preferred setup—whether that's a multiplier or fixed-spool reel. High-grade EVA provides a controlled, comfortable grip even in wet conditions, while nine Fuji K Alconite guides ensure smooth line flow and saltwater resistance.
