One Great Rod... The Battalion Stallion! I like the heavier action of the Penn Battalion II. I've nicknamed it the Battalion Stallion because I think of it more as work horse for casting heavy rigs far into the surf. But a battle ready name is also an appropriate name to give this tough but refined rod. I fished it for a solid week in the outer banks with no issues, I suspect I will get years and years of trouble free use out of this Penn Rod, like other Penn products that I own. Just take care of them. One small item is that I had sand down the rubber butt end a little bit to get it into a 1-1/2" dia. PVC pipe rod holders. This was easy with a bench-top belt sander, and looked ok. If you are using 2" dia. PVC you'll have no issues. Note to Engineering: If you make the rubber butt 1.45" it would be perfect and please the "main" 1.5" dia. rod holder market while not upsetting the 2" market.

Kills Alaska halibut surf fishing This is a repeat purchase. I had so much success surf fishing with the first, that I bought two more. Perfect pole to read for halibut. And best pole for the money for this technique.
