Description

The Abu Garcia OCEANFIELD IKA (オーシャンフィールドイカ) is a dedicated series of offshore squid rods for ika-metal, omori-rig, tip-run, and ika-jig techniques, aimed at species including surume-ika (Japanese flying squid) and tarui-ika.

The lineup pairs a solid tip with a tubular blank; baitcasting models use spiral (counter-clockwise) guide winding to cut line tangling and blank twist during a fight, and the series uses Fuji Top SiC and KR-concept guides, Fuji reel seats, and Abu Garcia's X-carbon tape wrapping for added torque.

Information

The blank

A solid tip paired with a tubular blank gives a soft, telegraphing feel through the tip for reading subtle squid takes, while the tubular butt keeps enough backbone to work heavier metal and drive the hook set home. The overall feel matches its stated build, giving confidence it will perform consistently across a full day on the water.

What it's built for

Built for boat-based squid fishing using ika-metal jigs, omori-rig, tip-run and ika-jig methods, aimed at surume-ika (Japanese flying squid) and tarui-ika over deeper offshore water rather than shore eging. It is best judged against the exact species and situation it is built for, rather than against unrelated fishing styles.

How it fishes

Work jigs with rhythmic lift-and-fall jerks and pause on the drop to let the squid commit, using the sensitive solid tip to spot the light tap-tap of a strike; spiral guide winding on the baitcasting models cuts line twist through the fight.

The setup it likes

Pair with a small saltwater baitcasting or overhead reel carrying a fine PE mainline suited to the model's power, plus a short fluorocarbon leader and standard ika-metal terminal tackle. Adjust the final line and leader choice to venue and season, erring heavier wherever structure or fish size demands it.
