Kuro Ika Egi Rod
Built specifically for chasing Calamari, the Kuro Ika combines 30T & 40T carbon in a sleek Matte Black finish, giving it the perfect balance of sensitivity, strength and performance. We've blacked this rod out from tip to butt to live up to the "Kuro" name of our Egi range.
Featuring a compressed carbon reel seat, Black EVA grips and black anodised stainless guides with ceramic inserts, every component has been selected with serious Egi fishing in mind.
At 228cm / 7'6", the Kuro Ika is right at home casting from the rocks, jetty or beach, while still being an excellent choice when fishing from the boat. Rated to cast Egi jigs up to #3.5 and matched to 7kg line, it has the power to punch out your jigs while retaining the sensitivity needed to feel those subtle squid takes.
Whether you're chasing a few Calamari for dinner or hunting that trophy Hood, the Kuro Ika Egi Rod is built to become your new favourite squid stick.
Pair it with our full-carbon Kingsnake II reel for the ultimate Kuro Ika combo, or team it with the proven GK2000 for a lightweight, dependable setup that will happily put in the hard yards.

Reviews
Worked the Kuro Ika egi rod first time 5 October, 10 krakens. This rod was designed by and made for Roland Hocking angling supplies (RH) . Matched to RH 2500 Kingsnake reel, Viribus NANO 15 lb braid & Kuro Ika jigs (2.5 green prawn this trip) which has switched up my kraken fishing to a new level. I felt numerous times the taps from the feeding tentacles hitting the jig just before the rod loaded up on hookup. A small flick cast up to 30 feet which allows me to place my jig at edges of weed beds
