Penn Tidal XR Surfcasting Rod 453 4.5m 100–225g

Penn Tidal XR 453 100–225g — Maximum distance in all conditions

This 4.5 m surfcasting rod combines a slim 30/40T carbon blank with Fuji Alconite K-type guides to deliver exceptional casting distance and perfect bite detection, even in low light.

Built for extreme distance and control

The high-modulus 30/40T carbon blank is reinforced with X-Wrap technology to reduce twisting during the cast, giving you greater accuracy and control when launching heavy leads and bait rigs. The fast action loads smoothly for long-distance work, while the slim profile cuts through wind and keeps the rod balanced in your hands.

Glow-in-the-dark Sensitip for instant bite detection

The luminous tip glows brightly after dark, so you can spot even the lightest takes without straining your eyes. Fuji Alconite K-type guides prevent line tangles and reduce friction for smoother, longer casts—essential when you need to reach distant feeding zones.
