Penn Squadron IV Boat Spinning Rod
The Penn Squadron IV is a heavy-duty 7' spinning rod built for big saltwater fish, but its 40-80 lb line rating makes it overpowered for typical Great Lakes steelhead and trout fishing. Better suited for large salmon trolling operations or targeting trophy lake trout in deep water applications.
