Description / Penn Retaliate X Solid Jigging Cast Rod

The Penn Retaliate X Solid Jigging Cast Rod is a game-changer for serious anglers looking to master their jigging techniques. Engineered with cutting-edge Solid Spiral Armour technology, this rod offers unmatched strength and control over your jig, making it ideal for handling powerful fish in deep waters. Built with precision, durability, and performance in mind, the Retaliate X ensures that you can fish with confidence and comfort, even in the most challenging conditions.

The heart of the Retaliate X lies in its innovative Solid Spiral Armour technology. This groundbreaking design integrates spiral-shaped fibres that reinforce the carbon blank, delivering unprecedented strength without adding unnecessary weight. This construction not only makes the rod incredibly durable, but also ensures that it remains highly responsive, giving you the sensitivity you need to feel every take and movement of your jig.

Built with X-Wrap carbon technology, the Retaliate X features a responsive and powerful blank that delivers superb performance when jigging. This technology enhances the rod’s ability to respond quickly to strikes and movements, ensuring a firm hookset while providing the backbone needed to control hard-fighting fish. The combination of power and sensitivity in this rod allows for precise jigging action and makes it perfect for targeting large, aggressive species.

To ensure smooth line management and prevent tangles during intense battles, the Penn Retaliate X is fitted with Fuji stainless steel guides featuring KW frames and Alconite rings. These high-quality guides are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and designed to handle both braided and monofilament lines with ease. The Fuji Alconite rings reduce friction, improving casting distance and overall line performance, while the KW frames help minimise tangling during fast jigging movements.

One of the standout features of the Penn Retaliate X Solid Jigging Cast Rod is its innovative spiral mounted guide system. This design provides better stability during fights by evenly distributing the load along the rod’s length. Additionally, if loose line catches the top of the rod, it will easily slide off, significantly lowering the risk of entanglement in the guides.

The ergonomic trigger grip reel seat offers enhanced control and comfort during long jigging sessions. This feature ensures a secure and comfortable grip, providing you with excellent control over your rod even in high-pressure situations. Whether you’re casting heavy jigs or fighting large fish, the trigger grip reel seat ensures stability and ease of use, reducing hand fatigue during extended use.

Equipped with a high-density EVA handle, which offers a non-slip grip that remains comfortable even when wet. The EVA material provides a cushioned feel, ensuring that you can maintain control during long fishing trips without compromising on comfort. Its durability ensures that it will stand up to the rigours of saltwater fishing, providing a reliable grip season after season.

Penn Boat Rods: A Guide to Rod Lengths and Casting Weights
Penn boat rods are engineered to deliver robust performance and unwavering reliability for anglers targeting powerful sea species. This guide will help you select the ideal rod configuration to match your fishing style, whether you're jigging for bass or bottom fishing for cod.

Rod Length: Control and LeverageThe length of your rod is a critical factor that affects both casting distance and your ability to control a lure.

Shorter Rods (6ft - 7ft): These rods are the workhorses of boat fishing. Their shorter length provides superior leverage and control when fighting a fish directly below the boat. A shorter rod is also easier to handle in the often confined space of a boat deck.

Longer Rods (7ft - 9ft): A longer boat rod can be beneficial for specific applications. They offer more reach, which is useful when casting a jig away from the boat or when a fish makes a long, powerful run away from the vessel.

Casting Weight: Method and StrengthThe casting weight of your rod is a critical factor that dictates the maximum weight of the lure, jig, or bait it can handle. Choosing the right casting weight ensures optimal rod action and fish fighting power.

Up to 200g: A rod with a casting weight up to 200g is a superb all rounder for general boat fishing. It provides a great balance of sensitivity for detecting subtle bites while offering enough power for light to medium jigging and bottom fishing. This rating is perfect for species like cod, coley, and bass.

Up to 300g: For anglers who are targeting larger species or fishing in deeper, faster currents, a rod with a casting weight up to 300g is necessary. This heavier rating is designed for sheer lifting power and strength, built to handle the immense pressure of very large fish like halibut and ling.
