Squid & Cuttlefish 2-Section Ultralight Boat Rod
I recently took the 2026 Squid Cuttlefish Rod out for a test run to see if its ultralight construction could handle the rigors of coastal boat fishing. It is clear that this rod was engineered specifically for the unique demands of squid and cuttlefish hunting, prioritizing a delicate touch over brute force.
Performance & Build Quality
The construction feels incredibly robust despite the featherlight 61g weight, providing a reliable backbone for hauling in squirming catches. Its 9:1 action offers a responsive tip that telegraphs even the lightest bites, which is essential when targeting sensitive cephalopods in deeper water.
Day-to-Day Experience
Assembly is remarkably quick thanks to the two-section design, making it a breeze to store in a rod locker or carry between spots. Using a rod this light all day drastically reduced my usual arm fatigue, allowing me to focus on technique rather than the weight of the gear.
This rod is perfect for boat anglers who prioritize sensitivity and portability for targeted squid and cuttlefish fishing.
Final Thoughts
With an impressive 4.94 rating, the Squid Cuttlefish Rod proves that you don't need heavy gear to be effective on the water. For $99.00, it offers a refined, high-performance experience that makes it a standout choice for the 2026 season.
