The PENN® Passion II combos are now stronger, smoother, and more durable than ever before. By matching our proprietary HT-100™ carbon fiber drag system and a Full Metal Body, the Passion® II has the guts and drag to handle serious abuse. Paired with graphite composite blanks, PENN(R) Dura-Guides, Sea-Guide®'s aluminum DAPS reel seat, and premium cork and hypalon handles, this combo will be comfortable in the hand during those long days on the water. PENN's proprietary one-piece stainless steel Dura-Guides eliminate guide insert pop outs, one of the most common issues with rod guides.
