Description

The PENN® Ally II Boat Rod has the power and durability you need for offshore saltwater fishing. PENN uses a combination of Seaguide® Stainless Steel guides with zirconium inserts and PacBay® machined aluminum roller guides in key high-stress areas to extend the life of your line by reducing friction. The incredibly tough tubular E-glass rod blank with a solid glass tip withstands the strain of big, hard fighting fish. A non-corrosive aluminum Seaguide® HBS reel seat keeps reels firmly secured during battle. Aluminum gimbals and PacBay® aluminum butt sections provide considerable advantage in keeping the rod butt solidly planted during prolonged battles. Non-slip EVA grips withstand long days under the sun and saltwater spray while still providing a secure hold. The PENN Ally II Boat Rod provides the correct balance and application for your next offshore adventure.

Field Notes

Built for offshore saltwater boat fishing where strength and durability matter most. The bent butt and roller-guide setup help when fighting big fish from a rod holder or harness during long battles. Best suited for heavy conventional tackle and prolonged pressure on hard-fighting species.

Pros

  • Tough E-glass blank with solid glass tip for heavy-duty offshore use
  • Roller guides in high-stress areas reduce line friction
  • Bent butt and gimbal improve leverage during long fights

Cons

  • Specialized offshore rod, not versatile for light inshore or freshwater use
  • Higher price point and technique-specific application

Not Good I spent over 12,000..00 just on this order. I am 63 years old. I have always bought Penn reels and poles my whole life. . I just had bought me a boat. The 12,000.00 was half the order. With the customer service you gave me . SUCKED, SUCKED AND SUCKED. BOTTOM LINE. At this point I will give Shimano a go. Have a great day. Jim Pierce (610)730-2345 jimpierce61@yahoo.com

Powerful rod! I purchased this rod for use with my new Penn Fathom Electric 80 reel. Performed flawlessly during a recent deep drop fishing trip over the continental shelf. Caught numerous large Snowy Grouper, and a big Black Fin Tuna during retrieve. I highly recommend!
