Designed specifically for the squid angler. A progressive action blank helps to soak up the lunges of a squid, where a faster, stiffer blank could result in hook pulls. The tubular tip adds incredible sensitivity to the rod so that you can identify even the shyest of squid bites. The progressive action coupled with reserve power in the butt helps you cast even small, lightweight jigs far and easily fight bigger squid. Despite being designed for squid fishing this rod makes a fantastic soft plastic lure rod for bass, giving you supreme sensitivity and a hook cushioning playing action that ensures your catch ends up in the net.
