The Rod
With the growth in popularity of the slow pitch jigging technique across the world, PENN answers with the PENN Battalion II Overhead Slow Jig Rod. PENN’s RCB2 construction consists of a rolled composite core and outer layers of longitudinal glass to provide a lightweight, thin, and parabolic blank that flexes from grip to tip, distributing weight for extra durability. Tangle-Free Fuji K guides with Alconite inserts, Fuji reel seats, and tapered EVA grips pair for a technical, sensitive, and premium setup. These parabolic blanks offer sought-after durability, balance, and recoil anglers need to work jigs from nearshore bays and sounds to offshore wrecks and bottom structures.
