Whether fishing the flats of the Florida Keys, wade fishing in the Gulf, or “Walking the Dog” in the sounds of North Carolina, shallow water fishing is an art-form all its own. Tapers and rod characteristics are critical when chasing big fish in shallow water. Penn International® Shallow Water Rods feature tip actions and tapers designed by professional guides and tournament anglers, for the perfect blend of performance and “crispness”. Penn International® Shallow Water Rods utilize the same threadwork and cosmetics as the other Penn International® Rods for a matched look on anything from an offshore battlewagon to a skiff, poling the shallow water. Reel seats and guides are Fuji, and Blanks are IM7 graphite for the best combination of quality and performance.
