I recently took the 2-Section Squid & Cuttlefish Boat Rod out to test its capabilities in open water. It is rare to find a specialized tool that manages to be both this lightweight and structurally sound for targeted species.
The construction is remarkably sturdy despite the rod weighing only 61 grams. Its two-section design feels solid once assembled, providing the necessary 9:1 action to handle the resistance of squid and cuttlefish without sacrificing sensitivity.
Assembly is effortless, and the rod packs down conveniently for transport between fishing spots. The ultralight frame makes a noticeable difference during long sessions on the water, significantly reducing arm fatigue compared to heavier boat rods.
This rod is perfect for boat anglers who specialize in cephalopod fishing and demand a sensitive, lightweight setup.
After testing, it is clear why this rod holds a 4.94/5 rating. For $99.00, you are getting a highly specialized tool that performs exactly as advertised for the 2026 season.
