PENN, a leader in saltwater angling gear, has brought out its newest addition to the Ally II line of rods with the new Ally II Electric Conventional Rods. This is a purpose-built lineup designed to meet the exacting demands of deep drop and kite fishing. These rods are built for power, precision, and durability, so that anglers can have unmatched performance with configurations optimized for 3lb, 5lb, and 8lb weights. Each Ally II Electric Rod is built around a high-performance composite blank made for superior strength and sensitivity. All the while, capable of handling the pressures of big deep water saltwater giants, like snowy groupers and swordfish. Made with the input from seasoned offshore anglers, the rods use premium components around the blank. Including SeaGuide roller tips and swivel tops for smooth line control and reduced friction, even when the rod is loaded up on a big fish.

The deep drop Ally II Electric models come with aluminum bent butts to handle the torque of electric reels and vertical pressure while fished out of the rod holder. The kite rod model comes with a straight aluminum butt and a durable stainless kite top for maximum kite performance. These new rods are available in medium-heavy (3lb), heavy (5lb), and extra-heavy (8lb) action options. Each rod in the electric series has been dialed for a specific deep drop application and seamlessly pairs with PENN’s award-winning and most advanced electric reel, the PENN Fathom Electric. MSRP for all models has been set at $229.95 and will be available this month.
