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.
