Seems like it's perfect for my intended use.
August 24, 2022
The price was right, and this looks like exactly what I was looking for, which was a good quality, heavy duty party boat rod to pair up with a Penn Fierce III 5000 for my wife and kids to use when I take them out, rather than renting whatever previously abused stuff was on the boat.
We haven't gotten around to taking a boat trip since I got it, but we did use it from a pier a few times while on a family vacation recently and it was very nice.
It's sturdy enough and not too heavy. An added bonus is that it looks nice.
I expect to be seeing how it handles some big blues and stripers very soon, but do far it's looking like it'll be up to the task with no problem.
Pros
  • Great price
  • Looks nice
  • Not too heavy
  • Great beater for party boat fishing.

Purchased the 7' medium-light. Really wasn't expecting much because of the price but I have to say it exceeded my expectations by far. Rod is well made and performs great.

i really liked this rod last season, i paired it with a battle 3 dx 4000. i used it for fluke and stripers, it handled itself great.
one night i put 14 25+lb stripers on this combo, i was even getting pulled down to my knees despite it being a medium rod.
Pros
  • 40$ how could you possibly go wrong. and it is super strong

For the price you cannot beat it, solid all around rod, bought this as a beater rod to keep in the car and when i opend it was suprised at the quality, get one while they are in stock

quality exceeds the price

I really don't have many complaints about this rod, especially when you consider the price. I've caught many good sized fish on the medium light class of this model and can't complain about it's ability to hold up. Good action that allows me to cast lightweight baits a good distance.

Penn squadron III
June 23, 2021
I recently purchased a penn squadron III inshore spinning rod for a trip to Connecticut with my family. I was very pleased with how quickly I received the rod from tackle direct. I even spoke with a representative who helped me make sure I would have the rod in time and gave me some tips for my trip. My rod arrived well packaged and with plenty of time before my trip. It wasn’t until I was on the trip that I discovered the reel seat on the rod did not line up with the line guides. I was able to make it work however I was very disappointed in the quality control from penn. I have multiple products from penn and have been impressed in the past, however I was very disappointed with this product. I don’t think it would be worth it to send back due to shipping costs. I can’t speak highly enough of tackle direct but penn not so much.

Great rod.
May 26, 2021
Have only fished them for a month or so but have hooked a landed both King Mackerel and Bonita on them as well as mangrove snapper. Plenty of back bone and a relatively sensitive tip. Great deal for the money and great for a chartboat rod.
Pros
  • Durability
  • Price
  • Weight

I have a Piscifun Chaos XS 5000 round  baitcast reel with a Penn Squadron 3 rod. I plan to place Mono 20 Lb. line. Is this going to be a good match? 
1 Answer
Hi Martin, your reel will fit the Penn Squadron III Inshore casting rod well for a variety of applications. The 20 lbs mono will work fine in this setup however may limit your line capacity if you need a lot of line for whatever you may be using. If capacity is something that is important in this setup I would recommend either going with lighter weight rated mono or braid. If capacity is not an issue then the 20 lbs mono line with work fine! Tight lines!

Clarence
from Staten Island, NY asked:
August 12, 2021
Can I catch King fish, barracudas,horse eye mackarel with a medium/light rod? Also can i use a 4000 series reel for that type of fishing in the Caribbean? Basically with that type of rod and as powerful as the  fish are in the Caribbean can i use it?
1 Answer
Clarence,

You would be better off with a medium or medium heavy rod and a 5000 or 6000 size reel for the fish you would be targeting in the Caribbean.  Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
