Product Overview
The Shimano IKA 7 SEVEN is a specialized squid fishing rod designed for targeting yari-ika (spear squid) and surume-ika (Japanese flying squid) using either direct or buranko (swing) rig setups. Its unique 7:3 action combines responsive control, high sensitivity, and shock-absorbing flexibility to match the modern squid angler’s demands in both deep and mid-depth applications.
Key Features
The IKA 7 SEVEN features a highly sensitive solid tip that transmits subtle contact from squid at various depths. Its 7:3 action allows for effective lure presentation while maintaining enough cushioning to prevent squid from shaking off during retrieval. The blank is designed to support both quick jerking motions and rod holder setups, making it suitable for both active and passive fishing styles. With length variations and power options, the rod meets a wide range of field conditions, from shallow coastal squid fishing to deeper offshore areas.
Recommended Usage
Perfect for anglers targeting squid species using direct or buranko rigs with sinkers ranging from moderate to heavy weights. Whether using hand-jigging techniques or stationary setups, the IKA 7 SEVEN delivers precision, comfort, and reliable performance throughout the squid season.
