Our Verdict
I recently took the Squid Cuttlefish Rod out for a series of coastal boat trips to see if its specialized design lived up to the hype. This two-section ultralight rod is clearly built with the specific needs of squid and cuttlefish anglers in mind, offering a unique approach to boat fishing.
Performance & Build Quality
The construction is impressively robust despite the featherweight 61g build, allowing it to handle the aggressive, irregular movements of sea creatures without sacrificing sensitivity. The 9:1 action provides a stiff, responsive backbone that is essential for setting hooks quickly and maintaining control during the retrieve.
Day-to-Day Experience
Assembly is effortless thanks to the two-section design, which breaks down quickly for stress-free storage in a tackle bag. Out on the water, the lack of arm fatigue is immediately noticeable, allowing for longer sessions of jigging and active fishing without the typical strain associated with heavier boat rods.
This rod is the perfect choice for dedicated sea anglers who need a lightweight, high-performance tool specifically tailored for squid and cuttlefish hunting.
Final Thoughts
With an impressive 4.94 rating, the Squid Cuttlefish Rod stands out as a top-tier investment for serious anglers. It offers a premium, specialized experience at a $99.00 price point that is hard to beat for this level of performance.
