Description / Penn Conflict X Inshore Spinning Rod
Whether you’re working topwater lures, softbaits, or long jerks, the Conflict X Inshore rods provide the perfect balance of responsiveness and strength, enabling you to fish comfortably and effectively. Each model in the range is tailored for specific inshore applications, whether you’re fishing from a boat or casting long distances from the shore, ensuring you have the right tool for every situation.
The Conflict X Inshore rods are constructed from a combination of 24T/30T Japanese carbon, resulting in incredibly lightweight yet powerful blanks with an X-Fast action. This blank design offers exceptional sensitivity, allowing you to detect the slightest bites and feel every movement of your lure. Whether you're targeting seabass or bluefish, the X-Fast action ensures quick hooksets and responsive handling, making it ideal for working a variety of lures in different fishing conditions.
The incorporation of Carbon X-Wrap technology further enhances the rod’s strength and durability. This advanced construction process adds spiral carbon reinforcement to the blank, providing extra rigidity and resilience without increasing weight. The X-Wrap technology improves casting accuracy, enabling you to cast farther and with more precision while ensuring the rod stands up to the challenges of inshore fishing.
The Penn Conflict X Inshore series is equipped with premium Fuji K-type guides featuring Fazlite rings, which are designed to be fully saltwater-proof. These high-quality guides are resistant to corrosion, ensuring longevity even in harsh marine environments. The Fuji K-type guides also help reduce line tangles and friction, offering smooth line management and enhancing casting performance, especially when using braided lines.
The VSS-style reel seat provides a secure and comfortable connection between the rod and reel, ensuring stability during long fishing sessions. Designed for ergonomic handling, the VSS reel seat keeps the reel securely locked in place, allowing you to maintain full control during intense fights with strong fish. The combination of comfort and performance makes the Conflict X Inshore rods a pleasure to use, even on extended trips.
Features a high-quality EVA handle that is both durable and comfortable. The ergonomic design ensures a non-slip grip, even when wet, making it easier to maintain control over the rod during demanding conditions. The lightweight nature of the EVA handle also enhances the rod's overall balance, reducing fatigue and enabling you to fish comfortably for longer periods.

Rod Length: Distance or Control?
The length of your rod is a critical factor that affects both casting distance and your ability to control a lure.Shorter Rods (7ft - 8ft): These rods are a great choice for fishing from a boat, pier, or a high vantage point where a long cast is not the primary concern. Their shorter length makes them easier to handle, more accurate in tight spots, and provides a direct, responsive feel.
Longer Rods (8ft 6in - 10ft): A longer rod is essential for achieving maximum casting distance. The extra length provides more leverage, allowing you to cast lures further from the shore and reach feeding fish that are out of range for shorter rods. Longer rods are ideal for beach casting and fishing larger open venues.
Casting Weight: Finesse or Power?
The casting weight of your rod is designed to match the weight of the lures or baits you will be using. Choosing the right weight ensures optimal casting performance and rod action.Lighter Casting Weights (5-20g): This range is perfect for finesse fishing with lighter lines and smaller lures. A lighter rod provides exceptional sensitivity, allowing you to feel every bump and subtle take. This is the ideal setup for targeting species like perch, wrasse, and smaller bass with soft plastics and small hard lures.
Medium Casting Weights (15-40g): This is the versatile, all round range for general coastal and bass fishing. It allows you to cast a wide variety of lures, from medium sized hard baits to jigs and plugs. The rod's power is sufficient to handle larger fish, while still retaining enough feel for the subtle takes.
Heavier Casting Weights (30-80g): For casting very large lures or heavy baits, a rod with a heavier casting weight is necessary. These rods have a more powerful butt section to handle a larger fish and are designed to work a big lure with ease.
