The PENN® Battalion III TaiRubber rod is purpose-built for Tai Rubber style fishing. Outfitted with saltwater-resistant Fuji® Alconite K-type guides and a Fuji® VSS reel seat, making the rod both exceptionally durable and lightweight. The slim-diameter, high modulus carbon blank is engineered for the perfect Tai Rubber action but is still strong enough to take on even the biggest, hardest-fighting fish. Incredibly lightweight and highly sensitive, allowing you to feel every bite with ease. Strength, sensitivity and perfect action — the Battalion III TaiRubber gives you the ultimate edge.
