The Penn Ally II Long Bent Butt Trolling Rod is a premium big game rod engineered for anglers targeting powerful offshore species such as the biggest UK bluefin tuna. Built using Penn’s advanced X-Wrap technology, the one-piece tubular glass blank delivers outstanding strength, durability, and resistance to blank twist under heavy load, giving anglers maximum lifting power and control during prolonged battles with hard-fighting fish.
The long bent butt design makes this rod particularly well suited for trolling from modern boat setups and is ideal for use with Gunwale rod mounts, where the longer butt section provides excellent positioning, stability, and line angles while trolling or fighting fish. This setup allows the rod to sit securely and comfortably in the holder, reducing strain on both the angler and the equipment during intense offshore sessions. This version is not for stand-up fishing! It is designed to sit in a rod holder built into the boats hull.
Fitted with premium Pac Bay roller guides and a heavy-duty Pac Bay reel seat, the Ally II ensures smooth line flow and reduced friction under extreme drag pressures, making it perfectly suited to modern braid and mono trolling outfits. The high-quality components are designed to withstand the harsh marine environment while delivering dependable performance season after season.
