Penn Squadron III Halibut Casting Rod 2.4m 14–21g Fast

Penn Squadron III Halibut 242 — Built to Battle Monster Flatfish

The Penn Squadron III Halibut 242 combines a progressive fast action with exceptional backbone to subdue the biggest halibut, all in a modern 24T carbon rod that won't break the bank.

Progressive Action Meets Massive Power

The 2-piece 24T high-modulus carbon blank delivers a slim profile that loads progressively through the cast, then transitions to serious lifting power when a heavyweight halibut refuses to budge. The fast action gives you the sensitivity to work lures and detect bites, while the extra-heavy power rating ensures you control the fight from hookset to gaff.

Built for Saltwater Punishment

Every component is designed to withstand the corrosive marine environment. The LTS saltwater-proof guides resist corrosion, the DPS reel seat locks your reel securely in place, and the high-density EVA handle provides a comfortable, non-slip grip that's easy to clean after a day of handling bait and fish slime. The gimbal with protective cover lets you fight fish from a rod holder or fighting belt.
