Built specifically for chasing Calamari, the Kuro Ika Egi Rod combines 30-ton and 40-ton carbon cloth for the perfect balance of sensitivity, strength and performance. Finished in sleek matte black from tip to butt, it lives up to the Kuro name of our Egi range.
Featuring a CCT (Compressed Carbon Technology) reel seat, black EVA grips and black anodised stainless steel guides with ceramic inserts, every component has been selected with serious Egi fishing in mind.
Whether you're chasing Calamari for dinner or hunting a trophy Hood, the Kuro Ika Egi Rod is built to become your go-to squid stick.

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
