PENN Retaliate X Solid Jigging Cast Rod
The PENN Retaliate X Solid Jigging Cast Rod is a vertical jigging rod designed for precise jig control. It belongs to the casting rod family for jigging and is made to work with jigs of different weights in a vertical setup, with the right sensitivity and a suitably stiff structure.
What it is for
This series is designed to handle the jig directly, keeping constant contact with the lure and the structure below. It is used for vertical fishing, where reading the jig action and reacting quickly to the strike make all the difference. The Solid Spiral Armor carbon construction stiffens the blank without adding weight and maintains good sensitivity, useful for anglers fishing from a boat and working different depths and bottom types. The two variants meet different needs: one is more suitable for jigs up to 200 g, the other up to 300 g.
Features
- Blank in Spiral Armor Solid Carbon for a stiff, sensitive blank.

At Pescaloccasione, the series is offered in the two versions planned by the manufacturer, so you can choose the length and power combination best suited to the type of jigging you want to do.
