Penn Battalion Surf Rods Review

The butt length from the bottom of the reel seat to the bottom of the rod is 25 1/2 inches.

5500 is better suited and any of the battalion rods will work fine. Of course it depends on the bait size and how far out you will be casting

The 12' H Penn Carnage II surf rod would be a better fit for the Penn Slammer 10500 for the application your intending to use the combo for.

The Penn BATSF1220S10 10ft 2pc Spinning Surf Rod would match the best pairing it with the Penn Spinfisher V 5500.

Penn BATSF815S90 9ft 2pc Spinning Surf Rod sería la mejor varilla para la aplicación que usa.

Yes the 12 foot Spinning model will fit a 9500 size Slammer III.

The 8' model is a Moderate Fast and Medium Power. the 9' model is the same, Moderate Fast and Medium Power.

The Avet SX would be a good option to pair with a 10' surf rod. You may even want to step up the size to an MXL, which may be a better size match for a surf rod.

I would definitely recommend the Avet reels over the Ambassadeurs that you already have. I wouldn't have the same confidence in the Ambassadeur as I would an Avet when it comes holding up to the harsh conditions of beach fishing. You may even want to st

A 6500 would balance best with the 11' and 12' models, but the 10' models would not necessarily be a mismatch. Model number BATSF1530S11 would be the best fit in my opinion.

The 3500 and 4000 size BG's would be best sizes pairing it with the Penn Battalion 8'.

The 10500 is one of the largest spinning reels on the market. It wouldn't necessarily be a mismatch on an 11 foot rod, but a 12 footer would probably balance out better with a 10500.

The Battle II 4000 would be a good match for a 9 foot rod.

This rod weighs 15.2 oz's. 

I would generally suggest a 6000 size Conflict for a 12 foot surf rod, but an 8000 would not be too large, in fact it may even more more appropriate if you are using a heavy line.

The Penn Battalion Surf Rods are a 50/50 split.

The Penn Battalion Surf Rods would pair well with the Shimano Torium 20.

Normally you would be using shorter rods in the 6ft - 7ft range for freshwater fishing. if your fishing in freshwater areas that require you to cast further than normal this rod would be a good fit.

It measures 20" from the bottom of the reel seat to the butt of the rod.

Hello Mike. Your 5000 reel would pair best with the 8 or 9 foot battalion models.

The Prevail is a heavier rod and has a different type of guides, while the Battalion is a lighter rod with standard guides.

The weight of this rod is 1 pound 4 ounces.

Yes, the 5500 will balance well with that rod. If you want to go larger, the 6500 is as large as we suggest going.

The 11' (PEN-1376) would be great with the 7500. Go with the Battle2 4000 and the Battalion 8' (PEN-1371) for the pier. For a boat, you will want a slightly shorter rod, around 7'.

I recommend a 6000 size reel for 10 ft surf rod. 

Usually depends on the size reel you have. But a good length and power would be the 10ft 3/4-3oz because it will balance with most reel sizes and is a good range for casting plugs. Lastly, you will get more casting distance with a 10ft.  

Sorry we can't alter invoices.

Best model would be the BATSF1530C11

18 oz's

The 10 foot will pair better with the Clash 6000

The 8 and 9 foot rods would pair up well with the Daiwa bg 4500 and 5500

From the reel seat back 17 inches.

That would be a well balanced setup

The lure rating for the 11 foot Penn Battalion is 2-6 oz

<span>Hi Zack, Based on your question I would recommend a Penn BATSF1530S10 10ft 2pc Spinning Surf Rod. However, since it's currently out of stock I would also recommend a Tsunami TSTIISS-1002MH Trophy II Surf Spinning Rod. </span><a>https://www.tackledir

I would recommend either the 11' or 12' model. 

The Carnage has a SLS3 blank, Fuji K guides with Alconite inserts, and has slower action than most rods in the surf category. <p>The Battalion has a faster action with Aluminum Oxide guides and a graphite composite blank. </p><p>Both rods are quality and

The 9 foot rated up to 3 oz would be your best bet. Where and what you're fishing for really determines the length of the rod you want to use 

I would go with the Tica UGSA11MH2S TC3 Dolphin Surf Spinning Rod matched with 50-65 lb. test PowerPro braid. <p><br /></p><p>https://www.tackledirect.com/tica-ugsa11mh2s-tc3-dolphin-surf-spinning-rod.html<br /></p><p>https://www.tackledirect.com/powerpro

I would go with the 5000 size, which would balance better. 

Unfortunately, these are now discontinued. 

Hello and thank you for reaching out about our products, Penn lists these Battalion II Surf model blanks as having a Moderate Fast action

The E handle is slighly longer and has a thinner diameter than the D handle

The 12' Penn Carnage Surf Conventional rod weighs 23.2 ounces. The Battalion holds up just as much as the Prevail will if not better. 

the penn battalion is definitely way to go for the extra 40 bucks. your getting a way better rod that is used for a everyday use and last longer
