Penn Tidal XR Surfcasting Rod 4.2m 100–300g

Penn Tidal XR 4.2m 100–300g — Maximum Distance and Power for Demanding Surf Conditions

The Penn Tidal XR 4.2m 100–300g is the power specialist of the Tidal XR Surfcasting series. With its metallic red finish and exceptional casting performance, this three-piece rod is engineered for anglers who demand extreme distance and backbone when fishing in challenging surf conditions.

Extreme Casting Distance and Control

Built from high-modulus 30/40T carbon with X-Wrap technology, this rod combines exceptional strength with minimal twisting during the cast. The result is improved accuracy and control even when launching heavy leads at maximum distance. Premium Fuji Alconite K-Type guides reduce friction and prevent line tangles, ensuring every cast reaches its full potential. The Japanese X-Shrink casting grip delivers secure hold and maximum power transfer throughout the casting motion.

Glow-in-the-Dark Sensitip for Low-Light Bite Detection

The strong glow-in-the-dark Sensitip makes bite registration easy during dawn, dusk, or night sessions. Combined with the rod's fast action, you'll detect even subtle takes and maintain direct contact with your rig in rough conditions. The super-slim yet powerful blank provides the backbone needed to set hooks at long range and control powerful fish in the surf.
