Penn Battalion II Slow Pitch Overhead Rod 6'8" PE:3 + Penn Fathom II Star Drag Reel 8XN
Product Description
The Penn Battalion II Slow Pitch Rod and Penn Fathom II 8XN Star Drag Reel combine to create a high-performance fishing combo, purpose-built for the popular slow pitch jigging technique. This versatile setup is ideal for targeting a range of species in both nearshore and offshore environments, offering the durability and sensitivity required for effective jig presentation and powerful retrieves.
The Penn Battalion II Slow Pitch Rod is engineered to excel in the increasingly popular slow pitch jigging technique. Featuring Penn's innovative RCB2 construction, this rod utilises a rolled composite core and outer layers of longitudinal glass to achieve a lightweight, thin, and parabolic blank. This design allows the rod to flex seamlessly from grip to tip, effectively distributing weight for enhanced durability and sensitivity. The rod is equipped with Tangle-Free Fuji K guides that feature Alconite inserts, a robust Fuji reel seat, and comfortable tapered EVA grips, creating a technical, sensitive, and premium setup. Its parabolic blank provides the durability, balance, and recoil essential for anglers working jigs across diverse fishing grounds, from nearshore bays and sounds to offshore wrecks and bottom structures.
Key Features of the Penn Battalion II Slow Pitch Rod:
- RCB2 Construction
- Fuji K Guides with Alconite Inserts

The second generation Penn Fathom II 8XN Star Drag Reel is meticulously crafted with a rigid full metal frame and sideplates, incorporating advanced features for an even more angler-friendly experience. A standout innovation is the fast gear access sideplate, enabling quick and efficient servicing of the internal gears and the powerful HT-100 drag system. The Penn live spindle design facilitates long, effortless casts, while its robust power gear ratios deliver exceptional torque, making it ideal for retrieving deep-dwelling fish with ease.
