Product Details and Uses

PENN Wrath II Boat Squid Rod 7ft 150g

If you are looking to target squid from a boat without breaking the bank, the PENN Wrath II Boat Squid is a specialized tool that punches well above its weight class. Here at Gerry’s Fishing, we know that squid fishing (eging) requires a very specific rod action—it needs to be sensitive enough to detect the subtle “weight gain” of a tentacle touch, yet soft enough in the tip to prevent tearing the squid’s delicate skin. The Wrath II Boat Squid delivers this balance perfectly.

Product Details & Uses

The Wrath II Boat Squid is built on a strong and responsive graphite composite blank. Unlike standard boat rods, which can be too stiff for cephalopods, this rod features a specialized soft tip. This is crucial: when a squid pulses and swims away while hooked, a stiff rod would simply pull the barbs out of the mantle. The Wrath II “cushions” these movements, ensuring more successful landings.

Despite the gentle tip, the rod is rated for weights and lures up to 150g, giving you the versatility to fish in deeper water or stronger tides when using weighted squid jigs or “Sabiki-style” squid rigs. It is fitted with stainless steel guides with titanium oxide inserts, which are durable and smooth enough to handle both monofilament and braided lines. The addition of a hook keeper is a small but vital detail, allowing you to secure your multi-hook jigs safely while moving between marks.

Prime Locations & Uses:

Boat Eging (Squid Fishing): Specifically designed for vertical squid fishing using jigs or weighted rigs.
Inshore Light Finesse: While built for squid, the sensitive tip makes it a fun “crossover” rod for very light bottom fishing for smaller species like Bream or Pouting.
Night Fishing: The sensitive blank is a massive advantage when fishing under lights at night, where you rely on “feel” rather than sight.
Great Value Entry: Ideal for the angler who wants a dedicated squid rod for seasonal trips without a massive investment.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

“Squid fishing is all about the ‘drop and lift.’ My advice? Use a thin braid (around 10lb–15lb) with this rod. Because the blank is a graphite composite, the lack of stretch in the braid will transmit that tiny ‘extra weight’ of a squid grabbing your jig much better than mono. The 7ft length is perfect for ‘working’ the jigs with a rhythmic lift, and that soft tip will keep the hooks in place when the squid starts jetting away!”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Why do I need a specific “Squid” rod?

A: Squid have very soft, delicate flesh. A standard boat rod is often too “fast” or “stiff,” which causes the barbs of the jig to tear through the squid’s tentacles. This rod’s soft tip acts as a shock absorber to prevent “hook pulls.”

Q: Can I use this for mackerel fishing?

A: You can, but keep in mind the 150g limit. It will handle a small set of feathers and a 3oz or 4oz lead comfortably, but it is much more optimized for the finesse of squid fishing than “hauling” full strings of mackerel.

Q: Is the hook keeper important?

A: Yes! Squid jigs (Egi) have multiple rows of very sharp, barbless hooks. Having a dedicated hook keeper on the blank prevents these hooks from getting tangled in your EVA handle or catching on your clothing while the rod is in a holder.

Q: What reel size matches this rod?

A: It balances best with a small multiplier (size 10 or 20) or a 3000 to 4000 size fixed spool reel, depending on your personal preference for boat fishing.

Are you looking to target squid during the winter months, or are you looking for a versatile light-tackle rod to keep on the boat for whenever the cephalopods show up?
