Penn Tidal X Telescopic Surf Solid Tip Spinning Rod 4.2m 0–140g

Penn Tidal X Telescopic Surf Solid Tip 4.2m 160g — extreme casting for mobile surfcasters

The Penn Tidal X Telescopic Surf 4.2m 160g packs tournament-level performance into a rod that fits in any car boot. Built for anglers who demand long-distance casting without sacrificing portability, this five-section telescopic surf rod delivers exceptional power and bite detection from a slim, fast-action blank.

Collapses to 160cm for maximum mobility

With a compact transport length of just 160cm, this rod transforms from full 4.2m surf weapon to travel-ready package in seconds. The telescopic design eliminates the hassle of multi-piece rods while fitting easily into saloon cars, hatchbacks, or alongside other gear. Whether you're chasing multiple beaches in a day or travelling light to remote marks, you stay mobile without compromise.

X-Wrap carbon technology for power and precision

The 30T carbon blank features Penn's X-Wrap reinforcement—a carbon cross-wrapping that dramatically reduces blank twist during the cast. Combined with the fast action and sensitive solid carbon tip, you achieve tight loops, pinpoint accuracy, and immediate bite registration even in choppy surf conditions. At just 470g, the slim profile reduces fatigue during long sessions while the saltwater-proof Fuji stainless steel O KW-type guides and uplocking DPS reel seat handle coastal abuse season after season.
