Savage Gear SGS6 IKA & Jig Rods

The Savage Gear SGS6 IKA & Jig Trigger rods have been specially designed for the modern style of vertical squid fishing, with very light tackle and Ika metal squid jigs.

The Ika Metal fishing style, is a widespread boat technique in Japan, which targets all kinds of Cephalopods (Squids, Cuttle fish and Broad Tail Squids). Although it is a new technique in the Mediterranean, squid fishing enthusiasts have embraced this technical, but at the same time efficient way of fishing their favorite catch. The Ika Metal is a fishing style in which the fisherman must give life to his Ika jig, with Long Fall and Slow Pitch moves, just as he would when fishing Slow Jigging. Savage Gear has developed the technical SGS6 rod series, made exclusively for the Ika Metal technique.

Providing perfect jig performance with minimum tearing problems, these rods will improve your squid fishing no end. These rods can also be used with micro jigs and small jigs for ultra-light jigging applications – a style perfect for Mackerel, Sea bream, Tunnies and many other species.

In the making of the SGS6 Ika Metal rods, in addition to the high quality materials used, Savage Gear focused on the functionality element, which is demonstrated by the length of 6.8 feet (203 cm), a length that will facilitates the angler into performing Slow Pitch and Long Fall moves. Savage Gear made a rod that is very sensitive, but with a reserve of strength in the blank, which will transmit to the fishermen the feeling of even the tiniest touch, from small or without appetite cephalopods, but will also bring to the boat big size squids.
