Squid and Cuttlefish 61g Ultralight 2-Section Boat Rod
The 2026 Squid Cuttlefish Rod enters the market as a purpose-built tool for those tired of heavy gear pulling down their arms. I took this rod out for a full day of boat fishing to see if its ultralight construction could actually hold up against the resistance of a fighting squid.
Performance & Build Quality
The rod features a sophisticated 9:1 action that provides incredible tip sensitivity while maintaining a strong backbone for hauling in your catch. Its two-section design feels remarkably solid once assembled, showing no signs of weakness at the joint while under pressure.
Day-to-Day Experience
Transporting this rod is a breeze thanks to the collapsible two-section design that fits easily into standard tackle bags. On the boat, the 61-gram weight is a total game changer, allowing for hours of jigging without the typical shoulder burn associated with heavier boat rods.
This rod is the perfect upgrade for boat anglers who specialize in targeting squid and cuttlefish and value a lightweight, high-sensitivity setup.
Final Thoughts
With an impressive 4.94/5 rating, the Squid Cuttlefish Rod proves that you do not need to overspend to get a top-tier specialized tool. At the $99.00 price point, it stands out as an essential addition to any sea angler's collection for the 2026 season.
