Expert Advice

Choose your Penn Prevail II Surf Rod model around the weight you intend to cast and the fishing style you use most often. For spinning metal lures from rocks or beaches, balance the rod with a suitable spinning reel and braid that allows comfortable repeated casting. When fishing live bait or working distant beach gutters, match your sinker, bait and leader to the conditions rather than simply fishing the heaviest setup possible. Around rocks and wash zones, regularly inspect your leader and main line for abrasion and rinse the rod, guides and fittings with fresh water after saltwater use.
