I recently took the Squid Cuttlefish Rod out for a series of trips to test its specialized 9:1 action on the open sea. This ultralight boat rod is clearly built for precision, aiming to make the delicate process of landing cephalopods easier and more efficient.
The construction feels remarkably sturdy despite the ultralight 61-gram frame. Its two-section design holds tight without sacrificing the sensitivity needed to detect subtle bites, and the materials seem more than capable of handling the resistance of sea-dwelling creatures.
Assembly is intuitive, making it a breeze to store in the boat or transport to the dock. The lightweight design meant I could fish all morning without the usual shoulder fatigue, allowing me to focus entirely on the action of the rod.
This is the perfect upgrade for dedicated boat anglers looking for a lightweight, specialized tool for squid and cuttlefish.
With an impressive 4.94 rating, the Squid Cuttlefish Rod is a standout piece of gear for the 2026 season. It delivers exactly what it promises, making the $99.00 investment well worth it for anyone serious about their boat fishing.
