| Specification | Detail | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 14 feet (420 cm) | Standard |
| Casting Weight | 100-200g | Versatile |
| Material | 30T High Modulus Carbon | Advanced |

The 14-foot length helps you cast far, and you can use different weights of baits 100-200g . The special carbon material makes the rod strong and sensitive. The good quality Fuji guides help with smooth casting and last a long time. Even though it's strong, the rod is still pretty light at 818 g, so your arms don't get too tired when fishing for a long time.
Casting and Sensitivity
One of the best things about the Penn Tidal 423 is how well it casts. The special carbon blank let you cast baits and lures really far. This is great when you need to reach fish that are feeding far out or in deep water. The rod's design helps transfer energy well when you cast, making your casts go far and be accurate.
The rod is also really good at feeling bites. The Advanced Tubular Tip and Sensitip Design work together to help you feel when fish bite, even if it's just a small bite. This is important when fishing for flat fish or when using careful techniques for shy fish like bass. The responsive blank sends even tiny vibrations to your hands, so you can feel bites quickly and set the hook at the right time.
Durability and Maintenance
Penn made the Tidal XR Beachcaster to last in tough saltwater fishing conditions. The K-type guides don't rust easily and are designed to not wear out your line when you cast far. The high-quality carbon blank is light but strong, and will last for years if you take care of it. The rod is built to resist the damaging effects of saltwater and sand, so it lasts a long time even if you use it a lot in tough coastal conditions.
To keep your Penn Tidal 423 in good condition, follow these simple tips:
- Rinse the rod with fresh water after each use, especially after saltwater fishing, paying particular attention to the guides and reel seat
- Dry the rod thoroughly before storing to prevent moisture-related damage
- Inspect the guides and reel seat regularly for signs of wear or damage, addressing any issues promptly
- Store the rod in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage and warping
- Use a rod sleeve or case for protection during transport and storage
