The PENN Squadron III Surf rods are engineered to be versatile surf fishing rods at an affordable price. Built with durability in mind, the rod offers a graphite composite blank construction, PENN's virtually indestructible one-piece stainless steel Dura-Guides (no more insert popouts) and comfortable shrink tube and EVA grips offer a traditional style and feel. This saltwater surf fishing rod 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.
