Every aspect of the PENN Conflict Deep Drop rod has been designed to give you the upper hand in the battle with monsters of the great depths of the ocean. Special X-wrap carbon helps evenly distribute load pressure in the rod and also improves overall strength. Meanwhile, spiral mounted guides prevent the rod from twisting, while the premiumquality Pac Bay reel seat ensures a secure hold of your reel – we recommend the PENN Fathom electric reels as the perfect combination. This deep sea conqueror will be your trusty companion for many years to come.
