The natural progression in Penn’s surf rod evolution is beautifully crafted, purpose-designed blanks for fishing from European beaches. All the rods in the Affinity range have sharp, user-friendly actions designed to perform at the highest level. Designed and meticulously field tested by Neil Mackellow, you can rest assured that the

rods in this range are at the cutting edge of modern surf rod technology. Whether you’re blasting a single hook clipped down over 200 yards, or lobbing half a mackerel into the surf, these rods will do the job. There’s

even a fixed-spool version that has been specifically designed to rival all multiplier users. The firm tip and mellow butt section work perfectly in unison to help prevent unexpected crack-offs so commonly associated with fixed spool blanks, making them easy to use and extremely responsive. The 13ft 4in M Light blank was the result

of a request from an angler on Neil’s website. The finished rod is a blank that fills a niche not previously catered for a light 2-4oz beachcaster, perfect for match-style fishing and scratching around for bites. The addition of Fuji BMNAG Alcanite guides has helped make all the blanks lighter so they’re far easier to handle, especially during long sessions. If you’re serious about your shore fishing, then the Affinity range has the rod for you.

There’s something for everyone in the SurfBlaster range. Whether you need a rod to perform at extreme distances, a blank that can cope with a multitude of situations, or a pole for hauling fish out of extremely rough ground, the SurfBlasters have it all. Years of surf rod manufacture have taught us that the key to producing top quality blanks is performance without compromise. Rigorous field-testing with each and every model has allowed us to hone these blanks to perfection. If something needed changing, we’d change it and take it back out on the beach for more testing, until each model was tuned to perfection. All the rods in this range have cast baited traces over 200 yards Fact! That’s not to say that they’re all designed for distance fishing, but it’s comforting

to know that the rods you have bought are capable of extreme range should you feel the need to use it.

Just like the other ranges of Penn surf rods, we’ve specifically designed a blank for those who prefer to use a fixed spool reel. Rather than simply ring one of our existing multiplier blanks for use with a fixed spool reel (something that our competitors have been known to do in the past), we have developed a blank that casts like a dream, with no sudden ‘twang’ or line slap as you release the line on the cast. SurfBlaster rods are designed for fishing UK marks, so you know you’ll be fishing with the best tools for the job!
