PENN Squadron IV Uptide Spin
The PENN Squadron IV Uptide Spin is a fishing rod from the spinning rod family, designed for use in boat fishing with uptide rigs. The construction combines a 24T Carbon blank, fast action and components designed to handle drift work and hooksetting in a direct way.
What it is for
This rod is designed to cast the bait far from the boat and keep the line under control during the retrieve and the bite. The tip absorbs the boat’s movement and shows bites clearly, while the lower section of the blank provides a power reserve to handle fish of good size such as smoothhound, rays and cod. It is used at sea, from a boat, when you need a rod capable of working with heavy rigs and sinkers without losing tip sensitivity.
