Penn Tidal XT Long Cast 8000 — Built for Distance and Durability

Designed for surfcasting anglers who demand long-distance performance and bulletproof reliability, the Penn Tidal XT Long Cast 8000 combines lightweight strength with precision engineering to dominate the surf.

Effortless Distance Casting

The Rocket Spool Design and X-Slow Leveline technology work together to deliver exceptional casting performance. With over 50 line wraps per single spool oscillation, you achieve impeccable line lay that lets line fly freely from the spool cast after cast. The 100 cm retrieve per turn recovers line quickly, making long-distance fishing more efficient.

Sealed Against the Elements

Built to withstand harsh saltwater conditions, the Tidal XT features a waterproof sealed drag with HT-100 carbon washers that keeps water, sand, and dirt out of the mechanism. The strong CNC gear machined from premium metals ensures smooth, reliable performance, while the lightweight XRC carbon body and rotor deliver rigidity without added weight at just 582 g.
