11' Penn Battalion Surf Spinning Rod

Nice rod. Reasonably priced especially if you get it on sale. Decent quality guides. Light weight construction. Throws 4 n bait perfectly. Has plenty of backbone to handle large fish in the surf.

Great rod

This site - Tackle Direct- is a great organization. I was in their beautiful NJ shop recently, and the people are top notch. I used the rod for the first time along the jetty at Brigantine- it cast very well - and good feel while the blue was chewing on my plastic sandeel. Just below the hook. I felt every chomp. I haven't landed a fish yet, but I'm really happy with this rod.

Great rod for the money

I bought the 12' Penn Battalion to pair with my Van Staal VS300 and this rod is amazing I use it for throwing big chunks of bunker with 4-8oz of lead it has a lot of power and I defiantly recommend it for people that are on a budget or don't want to spend a lot because you can't beat the price.

ProsVery light yet has power behind it and the price is amazing.

fantastic rod. great value.

nice sensitivity for a $100 2 piece rod. Will make catching schoolies a blast, but will also give you the power to bring in a keeper.

11' 2-6 oz model

Bought this to throw some lighter weights when fishing bait and throwing some heavier plugs. Bite detection is great and can sense every little bump, bounce and pull whether fish or bottom so its very easy to get a sense of what the structure is like. Loads well and casts great, but has plenty of backbone. Sweet spot is around 4 1/2 ounces and can cast 1 and 5 oumces pretty well too.Very happy with my purchase amd recommemd to anyone.

ProsLight, sensative, great bite detection easy to load

Great Lightweight Surf Rod

I ordered the 1220S10 model with a 3/4 - 3 oz rating and it is absolutley perfect. I paried it with a Spinfisher 7500 LC and it is perfect for throwing light baits a long way. It is light enough to feel small bites from whting and pompano, but does have enough backbone to handle a red or shark. I gave this item 4 stars because it does not have a hook keeper on my model. However this only a slight inconvience on an otherwise perfect lightweight surf rod

Perfect beginner rod for a bait chucker

Bought the 12 ft, 6 to 12 oz casting version to use during drum season and it performed very well. Some people do not like the way it loads, but it seems to work well with me. I had no issuing reaching the areas that I needed for a big NC drum. The first day I took it out, I landed a nice 40" drum (baby in my eyes) and it handled it with no issue. It is also very light which is a good thing to have if you are changing bait non stop.

ProsGreat color scheme (matches my Daiwa Saltist BG30H) Loads 8 oz and spot head with no issue Lightweight Good drum rod

ConsDepending on how you load your rods, this one may not be for you. Cast it first before buying.

Bait rod

Perfect for 6 plus a piece of bait. Good backbone, sensitivity and components. I am a huge fan of all the Penn rods and I own a bunch of them. I highly recommend them.

A Beast

Amazing rod had some big fish and this animal brought them in like nothing. Also casts 3-6 oz weights very far. The rod is nice and light I can't say enough good things about this rod. It looks great and is good quality. So far caught some big blues in the 35"+ range and few big stripers with this rod no problem.

ProsLight, strong, looks great, good price!

ConsNone so far

from Springfield, PA asked:

December 1, 2018

73+ years old, not very muscular, some minor neck and shoulder issues. Occasional surf/jetty fisher. Used a Diawa Sealine 11' spinning rod for years, seems cumbersome and clunky now, long rod butt a bit awkward for me. I'm considering a Penn Battalion 10' or 11' foot spinning rod, primarily for casting bait with +/- 4 oz weights, with a Shimano 4500B Baitrunner (my biggest reel). But also would like a double-duty rod for casting lures like SP Minnows. My lighter saltwater/inshore rods are Ugly Stik GX2. Q: Near that $120 price point, do you have any specific brand/ model/length recommendations for me?

1 Answer

The Tsunami TSTSS 1002MH Trophy Surf Spinning Rod would be a good alternative to the Penn.
