The PENN Squadron III Inshore rods are engineered to be versatile inshore rods at an affordable price. Built with durability in mind the rod offers a lightweight graphite composite blank construction with modified actions for a more parabolic and forgiving bend. PENN s virtually indestructible one-piece stainless steel Dura-Guides (no more insert popouts) and comfortable cork and EVA grips offer a traditional style and feel. This saltwater set up is truly up to the challenge. Saltwater breeds a different kind of angler. It toughens you. It cures you like bacon. It leaves you thirsty for the next fight. Hard core saltwater anglers need equipment that is as tough as they are and as reliable as the rising tide. At PENN we ve been testing the limits of saltwater fishing since 1932 which is why our reputation for durability runs so deep. PENN. LET THE BATTLE BEGIN.
