I recently took the Squid Cuttlefish Rod out for a series of sea trials to see how it handled the unique resistance of cephalopods. At just 61 grams, this ultralight rod immediately stood out for its effortless handling during long sessions on the water.
The construction feels robust despite the featherlight weight, offering the perfect amount of backbone for the 9:1 action. It manages to remain rigid enough for precise lure control while possessing the sensitivity required to detect even the lightest strikes from squid.
Setting up the rod is a breeze thanks to the two-section design, which fits easily into standard boat gear bags. The low weight drastically reduces arm fatigue, allowing for hours of active jigging without the soreness typically associated with heavier boat rods.
This is the ideal tool for dedicated saltwater anglers who prioritize sensitivity and comfort while specifically targeting squid and cuttlefish.
With an exceptional rating of 4.94 out of 5, the Squid Cuttlefish Rod is a clear winner for any serious boat fisher. Given its $99.00 price tag, it offers a fantastic balance of high-end performance and reliable durability for the 2026 season.
