Finding the right gear for specialized cephalopod fishing can be a challenge, but the Squid Cuttlefish Rod makes a compelling case for itself. I put this 61-gram rod through its paces to see if its ultralight build could actually stand up to the demands of a day out on the water.
Despite its incredibly low weight of 61 grams, the rod feels remarkably solid and reliable in hand. The two-section design doesn't compromise the integrity of the blank, providing a consistent 9:1 action that is essential for feeling subtle bites while maintaining the strength to haul in a catch.
Assembly is a breeze, making it a great companion for quick boat trips where storage space is at a premium. The lightweight design significantly reduces arm fatigue, allowing you to focus on your technique during long hours on the water without the usual strain.
This is the ideal tool for dedicated boat anglers looking for a high-performance, ultralight rod specifically calibrated for squid and cuttlefish.
With an impressive 4.94/5 rating, the Squid Cuttlefish Rod is a standout piece of gear for the 2026 season. It is well worth the $99.00 investment for any serious angler looking to upgrade their tactical sea fishing setup.
