Japanese king of squid

Do you know ” Taru-ika” ?

Taru-ika is a kind of huge squid

you can  meet in Wakasa bay

in Fukui pref. or Kyoto pref. in Japan.

Taru-ika fishing is a common sight

in Wakasa bay in the winter.

” OUDOROBOU ” is  quite a popular rod

for squid fishing.

They quickly sold out last year and

had been out-of- stock, but…

TP-B69XHst (same model as last year) and

brand-new heavy model

TP-B69XXHst  are now on sale.

We are often asked ” How is it like to catch Taru-ika?”

Sometimes it is really powerful

but usually it is very sensitive.

How well you can feel it is the key point

whether you can catch the squid or not.

The top of  OUDOROBOU has  a solid tip

which will not miss all the catch.

And to make the visibility well, the top rod is white,

and the thread is fluorescent orange.

Including the top guide, guides are 5mm for the knot in PE line 8 Lb.

Another special feature is the spiral guide.

It  makes easy to use the rod with PE line, and

you can feel the hit more directly.

Since 2015 model, it has a grip joint.

It is easy to carry the rod by using  the grip joint.

OUDOROBOU, a rod that can lift

sensitive but huge(more than 10 kg!) Taru-ika.

The season of Taru-ika is coming soon.

If you have never experienced the powerful reel in,

why don’t you try it this year?
