Penn Fathom 10XNLD Lever Drag Reel + Penn Battalion II Slow Pitch Overhead Rod 6'8" PE:3

Dive into the highly effective world of Slow Pitch Jigging (SPJ) with a perfectly balanced, purpose-built setup. The Penn Fathom 10XNLD Lever Drag Reel paired with the Penn Battalion II Slow Pitch Overhead Rod is a specialised combination engineered to give you absolute control over your jig's action, while packing the necessary winching power to retrieve stubborn Snapper, Kingfish, and deep-water reef species from the depths.

The driving force of this combo is the Penn Fathom 10XNLD (Extra Narrow Lever Drag). Its "Extra Narrow" spool design allows the braid to lay itself evenly and naturally under tension, freeing your thumb to focus on working the jig and fighting the fish. Encased in a rigid Full Metal Body and sideplates, this reel eliminates frame flex under extreme load. It is equipped with Penn's legendary Dura-Drag system, providing a silky-smooth, hesitation-free drag that protects light PE lines when a large fish makes a sudden dive for the reef.

Matched to this powerhouse reel is the Penn Battalion II Slow Pitch Rod. Measuring 6'8" and rated for PE:3 braided line, this overhead rod features Penn's exclusive SLC2 construction with internal spiral carbon wraps. This blank design is incredibly lightweight to reduce angler fatigue, yet possesses the exact elastic recoil required to "pitch" heavy metal jigs and make them flutter enticingly on the drop. Finished with premium Fuji Alconite guides to manage heat from fast runs and ergonomic high-density EVA grips, this combo is an essential, fatigue-reducing setup for the modern offshore angler.
