I recently took the Squid and Cuttlefish 2-Section Boat Rod out on the water to see if its ultralight design could actually handle the rigors of coastal fishing. Weighing in at only 61 grams, this rod feels almost weightless in the hand, making long sessions on the boat much easier on the arms.
The build quality is impressively robust despite the extremely low weight, utilizing a design that holds up well against the resistance of active sea creatures. The two-section construction is sturdy and secure, showing no signs of wiggle or weakness even when reeling in heavier catches.
Setting up the rod is a breeze thanks to its intuitive two-section assembly, which also makes stowing it away in a rod locker hassle-free. During actual fishing, the 9:1 action provides excellent feedback, allowing me to detect subtle bites that I might have missed with a stiffer setup.
This is the ideal companion for dedicated boat anglers looking for a high-performance, lightweight tool specifically for squid and cuttlefish.
Overall, I was highly impressed by the performance of this rod, earning it a well-deserved 4.94 rating. For any serious angler wanting to upgrade their gear for the 2026 season, the $99.00 price tag represents an excellent investment in quality and comfort.
