This rod is for boat-based spear squid (Aori-ika) fishing in the Seto Inland Sea, particularly the Akashi area. It's designed for use in strong currents, assuming a 30-gou (approx. 112.5g) weight. It features a powerful butt section for smoothly hooking and reeling in squid, along with a flexible blank to prevent the squid from tearing. At a length of 150cm, it allows for easy jigging, and you can fish all day without getting tired. Please note that this is an older model, as a newer model is already available. I've used it about three times, and while there's some wear on the EVA grip, the guides, reel seat, and overall condition are in good shape with few scratches or stains. Thank you for looking. Note: The guides are spiral guides, not warped, and are designed to prevent line tangles on the tip. Type: Baitcasting rod Features: Guide, One-piece rod Fishing type: Boat Target species: Squid
