With its bite enhancing sensitive solid tip, it has the right flexibility to make your lures really dance in the depths, without impeding on the powerful progressive action that generates the vertical jigging action and a powerful butt section, to cope with large sinkers. The Shimano Beastmaster Tataki is the perfect addition to any squid angler’s arsenal.
