Unconditional Satisfaction GuaranteeNo Shipping Fees Above 302 Months to Decide. Returns Simplified.For the adventurous angler, finding a travel rod that doesnt sacrifice performance for portability is the ultimate goal. At Gerrys Fishing, we find the PENN Ally II 8ft (100g) to be the technical all-rounder of the offshore travel range. Its slightly more nimble than its heavier popping siblings, making it the perfect choice for the angler who needs to switch between casting stickbaits for Tuna and working metal jigs for hard-fighting reef species.
Measuring 8 feet (2.44m), this rod strikes the perfect balance between casting distance and close-quarters fighting leverage. Its 4-piece construction means it packs down effortlessly into the included travel tube, fitting safely into standard airline luggage so you can avoid the headache of specialized rod transport.
4-Piece Performance: Dont let the sections fool you; this blank is engineered to maintain a seamless power curve. Under load, it behaves like a one-piece rod, providing a smooth transition of energy from the tip to the powerful butt section.
Fuji SiC Guides: High-speed pelagic fish create intense friction. The premium Fuji SiC (Silicon Carbide) guides are diamond-hard and offer superior heat dissipation, ensuring your braid stays cool and intact during those heart-stopping first runs.
Refined Casting Power: With a Max 100g lure rating, this rod is optimized for medium-to-large stickbaits, heavy spoons, and casting jigs. It has a fast recovery that makes working a lure feel crisp and responsive, giving you that vital feel for the action of your lure.
40-65lb Braid Rating: This is a serious power bracket. While its sensitive enough for smaller predators, the blank possesses the shut-off power needed to put the brakes on a hard-charging Tuna or a reef-bound Snapper.
Fuji DPS Reel Seat: A rock-solid foundation for your reel. The high-quality Fuji seat ensures no movement or play during high-drag battles, keeping you in total control.

Gerrys Pro Tip
The 100g Ally II is a fast rod, which means it excels at stickbaiting. To get the best out of it, pair it with a PENN Slammer IV 5500 or 6500 reel loaded with 50lb braid. Because this rod is a travel model, always ensure the ferrules (joins) are seated tightly before you start fishing. A tiny dab of candle wax on the joins can help them stay snug throughout a long day of casting and fighting big fish
