Description

This "Ao" model is issei's offshore IKA METAL rod, purpose-built for jigging metal lures for squid: a solid tip firm enough to work the metal jig aggressively while staying soft enough to register a squid's subtle bite, with a tapered blank that builds power gradually from butt to belly to cover varied depths.

Length 7'0", rated for 40–150g (12–40go) metal jigs, PE 0.3–0.6, 2-piece, 108g.

Information

The blank

A solid tip firm enough to work the metal jig aggressively yet soft enough to register a squid's subtle bite, on a tapered blank that builds power gradually from butt to belly to cover varied depths.

What it's built for

Purpose-built for offshore ikametal (squid metal jig) fishing over a range of depths from a boat.

How it fishes

Works 40-150g metal jigs with an aggressive jigging stroke on the fall and a controlled, sensitive hold on the pause to detect a squid's pick-up.

The setup it likes

Pairs with a small baitcast ikametal reel, PE0.3-0.6 braid and a light fluorocarbon leader.

How long does delivery take?

Will I be charged import duty or tax?

US import duty is shown as its own line at checkout, before you pay. Your parcel then travels duty-paid, so there is nothing to pay on delivery.

Is it genuine stock?

Yes. Every item is genuine Japanese-market stock, sourced in Japan from an established Japanese wholesaler and shipped straight to you. Never marketplace resellers.
