Each reel model is factory matched with graphite composite blanks and premium cork and EVA handles. PENN's proprietary one-piece stainless steel Dura-Guides eliminate guide insert pop outs, one of the most common issues with traditional rod guides. With available models suited for light inshore, surf, nearshore, and heavy offshore applications, the Battle III combos have what you need to tackle any saltwater gamefish. Also available in travel models (noted by TRVL in model number) in 2 of our best selling models.
