The Penn Tidal Africa Surfcasting is a rod built for extreme conditions. This powerful surfcasting rod was developed with inspiration from South African beach fishing, where anglers use heavy baitfish to target large predatory fish.
In South Africa, anglers often fish with full bait fish, squid or other large baits. The target are strong species such as large rays, sharks or other powerful predatory fish. This fishery requires rods with tremendous casting power and a blank that can handle heavy loads. The Penn Tidal Africa Surfcasting is designed exactly for that type of fishing.
With a casting weight of up to 800 grams, this rod is ideal for heavy rigs and large bait combinations. The 30T carbon blank delivers fast action and plenty of backbone. As a result, the rod charges well during casting and plenty of power remains during the drill.
Those characteristics also make this rod interesting for anglers who want to fish halibut from the shore. Large pieces of mackerel or pollock as bait require solid leaders, heavy lead and a rod with maximum control. The Tidal Africa offers just that.
The K-type guide eyes reduce line tangles during powerful casts. They are also suitable for intensive use in saltwater. The X-Shrink hand piece provides extra grip and control while casting heavy rigs.
For anglers who focus on biggame beach fishing, this rod provides a particularly powerful tool. Large baitfish, strong currents and long distances are the natural work area of this rod.
