Sea fishing gear needs to handle heavy jigs and saltwater wear while remaining comfortable through long trips. The Penn Squadron III Jig Spinning Rod pairs a high-modulus 24T blank with saltwater-resistant components for confident boat jigging. Will it stand up to regular cod, pollock and bass work at sea?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Blank Performance: Lightweight 24T high modulus carbon blank delivers sensitivity and control for jigging
- • Best for: Sea anglers targeting cod, pollock, bass and ling using jigging techniques
- • Not ideal for: Light freshwater spinning or ultralight lure work outside the 150-300g range
High-modulus 24T carbon blank combines a slim profile with robust power. Saltwater-resistant guides, a secure reel seat and a gimbal with protective cover suit boat-based jigging.
Sharper bite detection – thanks to 24T high modulus carbon blank
24T high modulus carbon creates a lightweight, stiff blank that transmits vibration from the lure to the handle, improving sensitivity. Slim profile keeps weight down while preserving backbone for hooksets.
Improved feel helps identify subtle strikes and set hooks sooner, which is especially useful when jigging for species that give light takes.
Saltwater durability – with SW-proof guides and reel seat
Guides and reel seat are specified as saltwater-resistant, designed to resist corrosion and wear from repeated exposure to seawater. Components use materials and finishes suited to marine conditions.
Lower maintenance and longer component life reduce downtime between trips and keep performance consistent in harsh environments.
Secure handling on deck – with ergonomic high-density EVA handle and gimbal
High-density EVA provides a comfortable, non-slip grip that is easy to clean after saltwater use. The gimbal with protective cover allows secure placement in boat rod holders during fights.
Comfortable grip and secure rod placement minimise fatigue and make it easier to control larger fish during prolonged boat sessions.
