The Best Penn Casting Rods

Power Stick Surf Rod

The Power Stick Surf rod is one of the best casting rods Penn manufactures. The rod uses a lightweight graphite blank with a powerful, fast action for casting power. It has the same fighting power as many other surf rods and can land large striped bass, bluefish and other strong game fish. Although the fighting power is standard, the lightweight build means you can fish for long periods with less effort. The rod has a high rating from Torbay Fishing with the only negative marks related to the quality of the grip.

Torque Jig Series

The Torque Jig Series is a top model from Penn capable of casting and trolling for large saltwater game fish. The rod has high user ratings, widely discussed in Internet forums like The Bass Barn. Its design is for jigging in deep water and has a thick butt for pulling heavy fish to the surface. This is one of the top Penn rods because the tip is more sensitive than the competition, and users rate the rod as having more fighting power than the competition. It also has an anti-corrosive finish for extra durability in salt water. The rod is ideal for strike detection in deep ocean waters.

Power Stick

The Penn Power Stick casting rods are not a top of the line model but a favorite for many anglers. The Power Stick is ideal for light to moderate saltwater fishing and capable of freshwater bass, steelhead and salmon fishing. It comes in weights ranging from 8 to 80 pounds and in lengths between 6 and 9 feet. The rod has a medium-stiff action with strong fighting power. Many higher-priced rods have a more sensitive tip but anglers like the durability and diverse range of functions this rod can perform.
