Penn Slammer II Travel Spin Rod

Built to chase snapper, tuna and barra anywhere in Australia, the Penn Slammer II Travel Spin Rod delivers compact convenience without sacrificing lifting power.

The Penn Slammer II Travel Spin Rod is engineered for anglers who need serious performance in a packable format. Perfect for remote coastal missions, interstate trips or keeping in the boat for spontaneous sessions, this multi-piece spinning rod maintains the strength and action the Slammer name is known for.

Constructed on PENN’s advanced SLSX blank platform, the Slammer II Travel features high-performance graphite reinforced with an inner cross carbon weave. This design increases overall strength and hoop resistance while keeping weight down, ensuring crisp casting and powerful hook sets across a wide range of techniques.

Despite its travel-friendly configuration, the blank maintains excellent recovery speed and balance. Whether you’re casting metals at longtail tuna, working soft plastics for snapper or throwing hardbodies for barra in tidal creeks, the rod feels responsive and controlled.

Fuji K-Series tangle-free guides with Alconite inserts reduce wind knots and optimise line flow, especially when using braided line in windy coastal conditions. A lightweight Fuji graphite reel seat is tailored to each model, delivering a secure, comfortable connection that maximises sensitivity.

Hybrid EVA and cork grips are shaped for improved ergonomics and all-day comfort, while select models include durable rubber gimbal butts for added stability when fighting larger offshore species.

Compact, powerful and built for Australian conditions, the Penn Slammer II Travel Spin Rod is ready for wherever your next fishing trip takes you.
