PENN Tidal Solid Carbon Tip K-type
The PENN Tidal Solid Carbon Tip K-type is a surfcasting rod from PENN's Tidal series. It is designed for sea fishing from the beach, where casting distance, sensitivity and bite control are essential. The 30T carbon structure combines responsiveness and lightness, while the solid carbon tip improves the detection of even the lightest bites.
What it is for
This rod is designed for anglers who fish at long distances and need to keep contact with the bait even in rough sea or windy conditions. The setup with stainless steel K-type guides reduces tangles and supports a smooth, orderly cast. The solid carbon tip offers a progressive curve and makes the bite more noticeable, a concrete advantage when fish are only giving short or subtle takes. The two available lengths in the series allow you to choose between greater leverage on the cast and better handling depending on your fishing style.
