Penn Regiment IV Uptide Rod 1002 — Proven Power for Tidal Boat Angling

The Penn Regiment IV Uptide 1002 combines a short butt/long tip format with SLS3 blank technology to deliver a sensitive yet powerful rod for uptide boat fishing in strong currents.

Sensitive Tip Meets Progressive Backbone

The Regiment IV 1002 features a 3.04 m blank built from high modulus 30T carbon with SLS3 construction, resulting in a thin diameter and low 530 g weight without sacrificing strength. The long, flexible tip section holds position in tidal flows while clearly registering subtle bites and slack-line takes. As a fish pulls harder, the tip blends seamlessly into the mid and butt sections to deliver a fast, progressive action that applies increasing pressure when you need it most.

Built for Saltwater Reliability

This two-piece uptide rod is equipped with nine Seaguide Titanium TiXOG guides that resist saltwater corrosion, a robust DPS reel seat, and ergonomic high-density EVA handles with a rubber end bulb for secure handling in wet conditions. The 70–300 g casting weight range covers everything from medium leads in moderate currents to heavy weights in stronger tides, making the 1002 a versatile choice for targeting cod, bass, rays, and other species from an anchored boat.
