Penn Regiment IV Halibuster Spinning Rod 242 2.4m 13.6–22.7kg Fast

Penn Regiment IV Halibuster 242 — Built to Conquer Norwegian Halibut

The Penn Regiment IV Halibuster 242 30–50 lb combines a super-sensitive tip with an ultra-strong backbone to help you land halibut over 2 m in Norwegian waters.

Specialist Action for Giant Halibut

This rod is engineered specifically for halibut fishing with an action that lets you detect bottom contact and bites clearly while delivering the power needed to fight fish of a lifetime. The 30–50 lb line class handles heavy terminal tackle and provides the backbone to turn big fish away from structure.

SLS3 Blank Technology for All-Day Comfort

The high modulus 30T carbon blank uses SLS3 construction to achieve a thin diameter that reduces hand fatigue during long sessions. Saltwater-proof Seaguide aluminum oxide guides and a DPS reel seat deliver the durability Norwegian conditions demand, while the ergonomic high-density EVA handle and cross gimbal provide secure grip and leverage during the fight.

Choose the Right Variant

The Regiment IV Halibuster 242 is available in two line classes to match your target size and fishing style:

• Regiment IV Halibuster 242 30–50 lb (this rod) — extra heavy power for targeting trophy halibut over 100 kg; pairs with multiplier reels and heavy jigs or large baitfish rigs

• Regiment IV Halibuster 242 20–30 lb — heavy power for halibut up to 80 kg and mixed species fishing; more versatile for cod and other predators alongside halibut
