Penn Prevail Apex Fishing Rod

Now for sale at the fishing tackle shop is the Penn Prevail Apex Fishing Rod - a top-tier delight for those who value superior beach fishing gear. The Penn team has outdone themselves, enhancing an already impressive surf rod range (Prevail II) to create something even more extraordinary. The Apex is not just a name; it signifies the zenith of the Penn surf and rock fishing rod range. It doesn't get any better than this!

The Penn Prevail Apex Fishing Rod doesn't replace the beloved Prevail II. Instead, it enriches the lineup, appealing to anglers who seek the ultimate fishing rod in performance and components. While the Apex shares similar ratings with the Prevail II, its standout features lie in the details. The Apex series sports Fuji K Frame SIC insert guides and tips, and the rod blank is crafted with Penn's unique SLC Blank construction.

To top it all off, a Hybrid X Wrap/Winn grip design adds a luxurious ergonomic touch. If you're looking for a premium performing beach or rock fishing rod, the Penn Prevail Apex is a formidable contender that will be tough to surpass.
