Penn Tidal XT Beach Caster Spinning Rod 4.8m 113–227g

Penn Tidal XT Beach Caster 4.8m — Extreme Distance and Control

The Penn Tidal XT Beach Caster 4.8m delivers exceptional casting distance and precision for serious surf anglers targeting species from the shore.

High-Modulus Carbon Blank with X-Wrap Technology

Built from 36T/40T high-modulus carbon with Carbon X-Wrap reinforcement, this blank combines lightweight responsiveness with remarkable strength. The X-Wrap construction reduces blank twist during the cast, translating directly into improved accuracy and control when punching baits into distant feeding zones or battling strong currents.

Saltwater-Proof Fuji Alconite Guides and Glow-in-the-Dark Tip

Fuji Deep Pressed guides with Alconite rings provide smooth, friction-free line flow while resisting saltwater corrosion. The strong glow-in-the-dark tip makes bite detection easy during dawn, dusk, and night sessions. An X-Shrink casting grip delivers maximum control during explosive casts, while the carbon fiber handle keeps overall weight down to 773g.
