As the name suggests, the OVERSEAS XT II Halibut is purpose-made for halibut fishing from a boat in big fish destinations such as Norway. These rods have a slightly softer tip than normal boat rods for bite detection, but a brutal backbone that can lift a monster halibut from the depths. The stainless steel guide frames with Alconite rings are made to last seasons on the water and keep delivering. The high-density EVA handle is ergonomically shaped for long hours of fishing, interrupted by intense fights, so the angler can keep a solid grip on the rod, even in freezing temperatures.
