Okuma
When targeting squid from a boat, bites are not always easy to detect. A squid may simply touch the lure, slightly change the tension of the line or add its weight to the artificial without producing an obvious strike. The Okuma Tataky Pro has been designed specifically to make these subtle signals easier to detect.
Its defining feature is the UFR (Ultra Fine Response) tip, developed using Okuma's Ultimate Flex Reinforcement technology. Combined with an ultra-light 24T carbon blank, it provides a sensitive and well-balanced rod specifically designed for boat-based squid fishing.
The Tataky Pro is particularly suitable for fishing with oppai and other squid lures, where reading the rod tip can be essential for detecting light bites.
A tip designed to detect subtle bites
The UFR tip is the defining feature of this rod.
The Ultimate Flex Reinforcement technology applied to the tip allows it to respond sensitively, helping detect even subtle contacts with the lure that could easily be missed with a conventional rod.
The high-visibility white tip provides an additional visual reference. While fishing, the angler can closely observe the tip movement and more easily recognize changes in its position or line tension.
For a technique where even a small movement can indicate the presence of a squid, this is a particularly valuable feature.
Ultra-light 24T carbon construction
The blank is made from 24T ultra-light carbon, designed to keep overall weight under control while maintaining a high level of sensitivity.
Balance is particularly important when fishing from a boat, where several hours can be spent alternating between lure manipulation, retrieving and waiting for a bite. A lightweight and well-balanced setup makes it easier to maintain line control and work the lure accurately.
The Tataky Pro therefore focuses on a combination of lightness, sensitivity and control, all essential characteristics for a specialist squid fishing rod.
Fuji components and configuration
The Tataky Pro is equipped with Fuji Micro guides, helping keep weight down in the upper section of the rod while complementing the blank's responsive characteristics.
The VSS reel seat provides a compact and comfortable grip, while the split EVA handle further helps reduce overall weight while maintaining a secure hold.
The spinning configuration makes the rod suitable for the fixed-spool reels commonly used for boat-based squid fishing.
Designed for marine fishing
The Tataky Pro features components selected for use in saltwater, an important consideration for a rod designed specifically for boat fishing.
The overall construction is intended to provide reliable performance during regular use in the marine environment, where tackle is inevitably exposed to saltwater.
