Quick take

Lightweight graphite spinning rod built for versatile inshore saltwater fishing with forgiving action and durable guides.

The Squadron IV Inshore is a one-piece, 7-foot medium-power spinning rod with a graphite composite blank and a cork handle. It is matched to 10 to 17 lb line and 1/4 to 1 oz lures, which suits inshore work for redfish, flounder and trout. One-piece Dura-Guides keep line moving smoothly along the blank.

Best for

  • Sight-fishing redfish and trout in shallow water
  • Casting light to medium lures from the boat
  • Anglers wanting durability with traditional cork grip feel

Skip if

  • You need a fast-action power rod for heavy cover
  • You are casting in extreme wind

Strengths

  • Parabolic bend is forgiving on light line and small fish
  • Dura-Guides are one-piece stainless steel, reducing maintenance issues
  • Cork and EVA grips offer comfort and control over long sessions
  • Lightweight graphite composite reduces fatigue during active fishing

Trade-offs

  • Parabolic action loads slowly, making short casts harder in wind
  • Cork grips need regular care to stay in good condition
  • Moderate power limits its use for heavy lures or structure-heavy fishing
