Shimano Beastmaster Tataki

If you take your squid fishing seriously you will almost certainly be familiar with the Japanese Tataki style of vertical jig fishing using small Oppai lures. But the technique does require a special rod to maximise its effectiveness and that’s where the Beastmaster Tataki excels. With its bite enhancing sensitive solid tip, that has the correct flexibility to make your lures really dance in the depths, and a powerful butt section to cope with large sinkers, the Beastmaster Tataki is the perfect addition to any squid angler’s armoury.
Hidden underneath the distinctive outer finish of the Beastmaster Tataki is a Full Carbon blank that has been fine tuned to enhance fishing the Tataki technique in deep water. Available in Medium (150g sinker) and Heavy (250g sinker) options, a solid carbon tip adds to the sensitivity of the rod without impeding on the powerful progressive action that generates the vertical jigging action. Adding to its versatility, the Beastmaster Tataki is fitted with low-framed stainless steel Seaguide guides and can be used with spinning, overhead or even small electric reels.
