Megabass COOKAI CK 96 MS Spinning Rod

Product highlights

Designed for demanding anglers, the Megabass Cookai CK 96 MS is a sea lure rod built to handle a wide variety of hardbaits and metal lures. Its length and flex profile are optimized for long-distance casts from beaches, estuaries and large rivers, while maintaining excellent accuracy over fish-holding areas.

With a very responsive tip, this rod faithfully transmits lure vibrations and the slightest contact with the bottom. You instantly feel snags, current changes and subtle bites, allowing you to adjust retrieve actions and set the hook at the perfect moment. The 5D Graphite construction gives the blank a strong power reserve, essential to keep control over powerful predators even at long range.

Benefits and strengths

The Megabass Cookai CK 96 MS stands out for its ability to work effectively with both small reactive lures and larger minnows and metal lures. This versatility lets you quickly adapt to sea conditions, wind strength or fish behavior without constantly changing gear.

Its 5D Graphite blank provides a progressive bend that absorbs runs while retaining significant butt power. You can control a powerful fish near snags or in the surf without fearing unexpected drop-offs. The sensitive tip significantly improves hookup rates, especially when predators are wary or only bite tentatively. This long-distance sea lure rod becomes a real asset for covering large areas quickly while maintaining full control.

Usage tips

The Cookai CK 96 MS shows its full potential in active shore fishing. Use its length to sweep wide sectors from beaches, rocky points or estuary walls, targeting bust-ups, breaks and current seams. Vary retrieves according to fish holding: steady retrieves, stronger pulls, pauses or cadence changes to trigger strikes.

Pair this rod with various sizes of hardbaits, minnows that work in the surf or metal lures able to reach fish positioned far from shore. Its high sensitivity helps you constantly monitor lure action and detect bottom contact to stay in the right water layer without snagging. Set your reel drag progressively to take advantage of the blank's power reserve while preserving the strength of your leader. After each outing in salt or brackish water, rinse the rod thoroughly with fresh water and let it dry before storage to preserve long-term performance.
