The Penn Squadron III Uptide Rod is an ideal choice for saltwater anglers who need a reliable, high-performance tool for casting baits away from the boat. Designed for targeting species like smoothhounds, rays, and cod, it offers a perfect balance of a sensitive tip for bite detection and a powerful butt section for hauling in larger fish; however, its 9ft 6in length may require some practice to handle effectively in tight cockpit spaces.

This rod is rated for 6-10oz, making it perfect for heavy leads used in strong uptide currents.
While it is a 9ft 6in rod, it is specifically designed for boat-based uptide fishing. It is not recommended for traditional surf casting due to its specific action and handle configuration.
Always use a hard or padded rod case, especially since the tip is sensitive and susceptible to impact damage.
The Penn Squadron III Uptide series typically features a two-piece construction for easier storage and transport.
It is ideal for rays, smoothhounds, cod, and other larger species found in deeper water or strong tide runs.
This is likely salt accumulation. Clean the guides with a soft brush and fresh water; if residue remains, use a mild solution of soapy water followed by a fresh water rinse.
The high-density EVA foam can collect slime or oil. Clean the handle with mild dish soap and a soft cloth to restore grip.
For optimal results, pair this rod with a high-capacity multiplier reel spooled with high-visibility braid or monofilament suitable for uptide conditions. When setting up, ensure the short butt is firmly locked into your rod holder if you are waiting for a run. Care instructions are straightforward: after every trip, rinse the rod thoroughly with fresh, lukewarm water to remove salt spray, paying close attention to the guides. Inspect the guides for any micro-fractures annually. Store the rod in a dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight, ideally in a protective rod sleeve to prevent impact damage to the guides or blank.
