Penn Tidal XT Beach Caster The PENN Tidal XT Beach Caster is part of PENN’s new and exclusive Tidal Surfcasting concept. The Tidal XT Beach Casters have been specially designed for use with a fixed spool reel or a multi-reel and are equipped with the new saltwater-resistant Fuji Alconite guides with deep-pressed frames. All blanks are made from a blend of high modulus 36/40T carbon to ensure a lightweight, responsive and very slim blank. In addition, the special Carbon X-Wrap technology increases strength and reduces twist, improving casting accuracy and control. The highly luminous colour makes it easy to detect bites even in low light conditions. In addition, all models are equipped with a special X-Shrink casting handle that ensures maximum control when casting.
