Penn Battalion Inshore Popping Rod
The Penn Battalion Inshore Popping Rod is a superbly made, incredibly powerful lure fishing rod designed for seriously powerful predators. Tuna, GT and sharks alike tremble before this popping rod – particularly when they (or you) consider its value. The graphite-made blank and high-quality fastenings and fittings are very difficult to beat at this price point.

Description
Penn Battalion Inshore Popping Rod is a truly excellent heavy-duty lure fishing rod that comes in substantially under £200. Which is a real rarity. At 8′ in length and a shorter butt when compared to the tip, it’s designed for targeting tuna, GTs and – whisper it quietly – sharks in UK waters. It’s one of the best lure fishing rods on the market thanks to its almost unwieldy power and durability. If it’s a more sensitive, lighter-weight rod you’re after, then Savage Gear’s SGS8 is our pick of the bunch. On the flip side of the coin, if you’re in need of a more powerful rod, then try the Penn Carnage Popping 761.
It’s the quality of the fastenings and extras that set this Penn rod apart at this price point. Having a graphite blank with average-quality guides and reel seats makes the rod substantially more fragile. But the Penn Battalion has Fuji K guides and aluminium screws and gimbals capable of withstanding extreme pressure and friction. Which is more than useful when you’re targeting fish capable of snapping most two-piece rods.
