Perigee II 24 Ton Carbon Fiber Fishing Rods - Twin-Tip & One Piece

In this review of the Perigee II rods the bottom line is simple: these rods are for anglers who want a lightweight, high-performance blank without paying premium prices. The reviewer found the Toray 24-ton carbon fiber blank and KastKing's hybrid spigot joint deliver a smooth, near one-piece feel whether using a two-piece, twin-tip or one-piece model. This review highlights build quality, comfort and real-world fishing use across freshwater and light saltwater applications.

Key Features

• 24-Ton Carbon Blank: The Toray 24-ton carbon matrix provides a strong, sensitive blank that tracks bites well while remaining light for all-day use.
• Fuji O-Ring Guides: High-quality line guides reduce friction and improve casting distance and line protection with braided or monofilament line.
• PTS Hybrid Spigot Joint: The Power Transition System keeps power flowing through two-piece rods so they feel much like a one-piece when fighting fish.
• Ergonomic Components: Tuned graphite reel seats and high-density EVA grips deliver a comfortable hold and reduce fatigue on long trips.
• Twin-Tip Versatility: Twin-tip two-piece models include alternate tips so anglers can switch between medium and medium-heavy actions for different techniques.
• All-Purpose Use: Models cover ultra-light spinning up to heavy spinning and medium to heavy baitcasting, making these rods useful for bass, trout, walleye and light saltwater work.

Who It's For

The Perigee II line is aimed at budget-conscious anglers who still demand modern materials and good components; kayak anglers, bank fishers and weekend boaters will appreciate the light weight and sensitivity. Those who want the flexibility of twin-tip rods or the compact convenience of two-piece blanks will find these models particularly useful.

Serious tournament pros or anglers who need specialized blanks for very heavy saltwater duty should look elsewhere, as the Perigee II focuses on value-driven performance rather than extreme heavy offshore use. Also, if tip durability under relentless heavy strikes is a primary concern, consider a rod engineered specifically for big game saltwater fishing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these rods good for saltwater use?
They are suitable for light saltwater species such as redfish or snook when rinsed and cared for, but not intended for continuous heavy offshore duty.

Do the two-piece rods feel weak at the joint?
No, the PTS hybrid spigot joint is designed to smooth power transfer so the two-piece models feel close to a one-piece in action.

What does twin-tip mean?
Twin-tip rods include two interchangeable tips (for example medium and medium-heavy) so you can change action and lure weight without buying another rod.
