The 2026 Squid Cuttlefish Rod brings a specialized approach to saltwater fishing that is hard to ignore. I put this two-section boat rod to the test to see if its ultralight 61-gram frame could actually handle the resistance of a hard-fighting cuttlefish.
Despite its minimal weight, the rod feels incredibly sturdy and well-balanced. The 9:1 action provides the perfect amount of stiffness and sensitivity, allowing you to detect even the lightest strikes while maintaining the backbone needed to haul in your catch.
Assembly is effortless thanks to the two-section design, which fits easily into my gear bag for transport. On the boat, the ultralight profile significantly reduces arm fatigue during long sessions, making the entire experience much more enjoyable.
This rod is perfect for dedicated saltwater anglers who prioritize comfort and sensitivity when targeting squid and cuttlefish.
With an impressive rating of 4.94/5, the Squid Cuttlefish Rod proves that you do not need heavy, cumbersome gear to be successful on the water. Given its $99.00 price tag, it is a highly recommended investment for any serious boat fisher looking to upgrade their collection.
