PENN TORQUE JIGGING RODS
Penn Torque Jigging Rods are designed using a super thin yet strong rod blank that provides incredible strength necessary when pulling up large tuna, snapper, stripers, kingfish and grouper. A Penn Torque Jigging Rod is strengthened by an additional layer of graphite. With all the strength the Torque rods possess, they are still light enough for long-term jigging action. All Penn Torque Jigging Rods are finished with PacBay stainless steel guides with deep-pressed titanium coated inserts for durability against all saltwater conditions. A Torque Jigging Rod has triangular shaped EVA foam handles which are easy to hold and keep the rod from turning or slipping when fighting a fish. The EVA foam rear grip features flat sides for added comfort when holding the Torque Rod under your arm.

PENN TUNA STICK RODS
Penn Tuna Sticks have been a staple in the Stand-up Big Game Fishing rod market, but we threw a curve ball this year and changed the model numbers. Penn Tuna Stick blanks and components still have the same tapers and quality; but in an effort to simplify the model designations, we changed the model numbers fro all of the Penn Tuna Sticks.
The Penn Tuna Stick modified parabolic taper is capable of providing leverage for anglers strapped into the fighting chair, while the fast-tip sections of Penn Tuna Sticks provide Stand-up anglers the recovery power necessary when hooked into large pelagics. Penn Tuna Stick Rods feature great components, powerful blank materials, and quality craftsmanship built into a rod that serves equally well in the chair or at the rail.
- Penn Tuna Stick 1 piece glass tubular blank with solid tip
- Penn Tuna Sticks® feature AFTCO® Roller Guides
- Penn Tuna Stick machined aluminum one-piece butt, including anodized hoods and rings in the rich Penn Gold for a premium look when matched to your Penn International® Reels
