PENN Tidal X Telescopic Surf (14ft | 160g) High Performance on the Move

At Gerrys Fishing, we know that not every angler wants to haul a massive rod tube to the beach. Whether youre a holiday angler, a city dweller with a small car, or a mobile specialist who hikes to remote marks, the PENN Tidal X Telescopic is a game-changer.

Part of the exclusive PENN Tidal concept, this 14ft powerhouse proves that telescopic doesnt mean compromise. By utilizing high-modulus carbon and advanced reinforcement, PENN has created a rod that packs down in seconds but performs like a premium multi-section beachcaster. This is the ultimate grab-and-go surf rod for the serious angler.

Compact Mobility Meets Elite Tech

• 24T/30T Carbon & X-Wrap: The blank is remarkably slim for a telescopic rod. By blending 24T and 30T carbon with Carbon X-Wrap technology, PENN has significantly reduced the blank twist that usually plagues telescopic rods. This gives you better directional control and surprisingly powerful casting properties.

• Sensitive Solid Carbon Tip: Unlike many telescopic rods that have dead tips, the Tidal X features a specialized solid carbon tip. It offers superb bite registration, magnifying the rattles from small Flatfish or the sharp pull of a Bass, even at distance.

• Fuji Saltwater-Proof Hardware: This rod is built for the long haul. It is finished with genuine Fuji guides and a saltwater-resistant reel seat, ensuring that the salt and spray of the UK coast wont slow you down.

• Specialized X-Shrink Grip: Even on a telescopic rod, grip is everything. The base features an X-shrink casting grip, giving you a firm, non-slip purchase during the punch of your cast, ensuring maximum energy transfer to your lead.

Where to Use the Tidal X Telescopic

• Travel & Holiday Fishing: The perfect trunk rod. Keep it in the car for those impromptu sessions after work or take it on family holidays where space is at a premium.

• Piers & Promenades: Its 14ft length is ideal for clearing high railings, while its light-to-hand feel makes it a joy to use for long sessions targeting Mackerel, Garfish, or Flatfish.

• Estuaries & Sheltered Beaches: Rated to 160g, it is perfectly suited for lighter surfcasting styles where sensitivity and mobility are more important than brute force.

Gerrys Pro Tip

Telescopic rods require a little extra care to keep them performing at their best. Our pro advice: always wipe down each section with a damp cloth after a session to remove salt and grit before you collapse the rod. When casting, the Tidal X likes a smooth, progressive build-up. Pair it with a long-cast fixed spool reel and a 3oz or 4oz leadyoull be surprised at how effortlessly this rod hits the fish zone while fitting comfortably in your boot on the way home
