Egi Squid Rods for Squid Fishing

Egi squid rods are purpose-built for targeting squid using traditional Japanese egi techniques popular across Australian bays, harbours, jetties and coastal waters. Designed for casting squid jigs with precision and sensitivity, these rods provide the lightweight performance and responsive actions needed for effective squid fishing.

At Anglers Warehouse, you’ll find quality egi squid rods from leading brands including Shimano, Daiwa, Majorcraft, Oceans Legacy, Samurai and more. Whether you’re chasing calamari from the shore, boat or breakwalls, specialised squid rods improve casting distance, jig control and hook-up performance while reducing fatigue during long fishing sessions.

How To Choose Egi Squid Rods

Most egi squid rods are lightweight and designed to cast specific egi jig sizes, commonly ranging from size 2.0 to 4.0 squid jigs. Shorter rods offer increased control in tight areas, while longer rods improve casting distance for shore-based squid fishing.

Look for sensitive rod tips, lightweight blanks and balanced actions that allow effective jig movement and improved detection of subtle squid bites. Match your rod to your preferred egi size, fishing location and casting style.
