Penn Battalion Surf Rod

Penn Battalion Surf Rod – Built for the Outer Banks Surf

When fishing the OBX, you need a surf rod that can handle distance, power, and precision. The Penn Battalion Surf Rod is engineered for anglers who demand performance under pressure. Whether you’re targeting red drum in the breakers or casting lures for bluefish and stripers, the Battalion delivers the perfect balance of strength and sensitivity.

Crafted for OBX Conditions

The Battalion Surf Rod features graphite composite construction for lightweight durability and responsive action. Its high-strength blank design provides the casting leverage you need to launch heavy rigs into the surf, while the sensitivity ensures you’ll feel every strike—even in rough water.
