Squid & Cuttlefish 61g Ultralight 2-Section Sea Fishing Rod
The Squid & Cuttlefish 61g Ultralight Rod is a specialized piece of kit that aims to change how we approach cephalopod fishing. I took this two-section rod out on a choppy sea trial to see if its ultralight profile could actually handle the resistance of a fighting squid.
Performance & Build Quality
Constructed with a focus on agility, the 61-gram weight is immediately noticeable, significantly reducing wrist strain during long sessions on the water. The 9:1 action offers a crisp, sensitive tip that telegraphs even the lightest touches from squid, while the blank remains robust enough to manage the sudden pulls of sea-dwelling prey.
Day-to-Day Experience
Assembly is effortless, with the two-section joint snapping into place securely without any wobble. Transporting it is a breeze, fitting comfortably into a standard gear bag, and the lightweight nature makes it feel like an extension of your arm rather than a heavy tool.
This rod is an essential upgrade for boat anglers who specialize in cephalopod fishing and prioritize weight reduction and sensitivity.
Final Thoughts
After putting it through its paces, I found this rod to be a standout performer, earning a well-deserved 4.94 rating. For $99.00, it offers a level of precision and ease of handling that makes it a must-have for the 2026 season.
