13' Penn Battalion III/Penn Battle 6000 Rigged & Ready Combo
The 13' Penn Battalion III/Penn Battle 6000 Rigged & Ready Combo is set up by Frank & Fran’s for anglers who want to get to the beach and start fishing without building a surf setup from scratch. This heavy-duty surf combo pairs a 13-foot PENN Battalion III spinning surf rod with a PENN Battle 6000 spinning reel.
Frank & Fran’s completes the setup with Sufix Tritanium Plus 20 lb high-visibility chartreuse monofilament, a 40 lb clear shock leader, and an 8/0 drum slider rig. It’s a practical Rigged & Ready setup for soaking bait in the surf on Hatteras Island, elsewhere along the Outer Banks, or your favorite stretch of coastline. Ships nationwide; oversized shipping may apply.
