The Regiment III Uptide from PENN is built on the proven short butt long tip format which ensures a very smooth action. The blank features the fantastic SLS3 blank assembly, providing a very small diameter blank that overall makes for a lighter design that is also more ergonomic to hold and use. The tip has just the right amount of yield to stay in the tide nicely, while still registering small bites and slack liners. The tip transitions seamlessly into the middle and back sections to give a fast yet progressive action that simply exerts more power the harder a fish pulls.
