General Description

This rod is designed to be a precision instrument for the finesse-oriented eging technique. The 1.5-3.0 Egi rating indicates that it is built for the smallest and lightest squid jigs, which are often necessary when targeting shy squid or when fishing in calm, clear water where heavier jigs might spook the fish. The rod’s focus is on providing unparalleled sensitivity to feel the subtlest of bites, combined with a progressive action that ensures a solid hook set without damaging the squid’s delicate tentacles. The “SG2” series offers a high-quality build and components at a very competitive price.

Key Features

• Exceptional Sensitivity: The rod blank is made from a high-modulus carbon fiber, which is known for its lightness and ability to transmit vibrations. This is the most crucial feature of a high-quality eging rod, as a squid’s take is often just a slight hesitation or “mushy” feel on the line. The blank’s composition is engineered to make these subtle sensations easily detectable.
• Progressive Fast Action: The rod has a unique progressive fast action. The tip is very soft and fast-recovering, allowing the angler to impart a quick “darting” action to the jig. The power then smoothly transitions down the blank to a strong backbone, which is essential for casting the lure and for fighting a squid. This smooth power curve also prevents the angler from tearing the jig’s barbs out of the squid’s fragile body during the fight.
• High-Quality Components: The rod is built with saltwater-resistant components to ensure long-term reliability. These include:
  • SeaGuide Guides: It is equipped with SeaGuide Gunsmoke SW Guides or similar, which are known for their durability and smooth performance with braided lines. The guide system is optimized to prevent wind knots and ensure long, effortless casts.
  • SeaGuide Reel Seat: The reel seat is an ergonomic and secure model, such as the SeaGuide Gold Label reel seat, providing a comfortable and non-slip grip for hours of fishing.
• Optimal Length: The 2.50m (approx. 8’2″) length is a great compromise for this style of fishing. It provides enough length for casting from shore and offers excellent line control, but is short enough to be highly maneuverable when fishing from a boat or pier.
• 2-Piece Construction: The two-piece design is a practical feature for easy transport and storage, which is a significant advantage for anglers who travel to different fishing locations.
• Ergonomic EVA Handles: The handle is made from high-density EVA foam, providing a comfortable, non-slip grip even when wet. The handles are designed to be light and comfortable for the repetitive actions of eging.
