Spinning Rod TENRYU BRIGADE FLIP BFT 632 S-MHS

Product Highlights

The Tenryu Brigade Flip rod is specially designed for boat cephalopod fishing in deep waters and areas with strong currents. Built to meet the demands of technical anglers, it combines high sensitivity in the tip with a well-dosed power reserve in the butt. This design lets you feel the slightest suction of a squid or cuttlefish while maintaining control of the rig, even when the drift accelerates. Its responsiveness makes vertical presentations and precise hooks easier, making it a formidable tool to exploit productive marks.

Optimized for egi jigs and Ika Metal rigs, this saltwater cephalopod rod covers a wide range of situations, from methodical searches over drop-offs to controlled drifts above flats. Its balanced construction reduces arm and wrist fatigue during long sessions and offers excellent grip to keep full control of the line and presentations. It is also suited for anglers seeking a versatile rod that adapts to different vertical approaches from a boat.

Benefits and Key Strengths

One of the main strengths of the Tenryu Brigade Flip for cephalopods is its ability to combine sensitivity and control. The tip action allows you to instantly feel any change in line weight, a sign that a cephalopod is gently taking the lure. This precise touch reading reduces missed strikes and optimizes catch rates, even when targets are wary and only graze the jig. The rod faithfully transmits bottom feedback, helping to adjust animation cadence and quickly locate active zones.

The power reserve is another major advantage. It provides the margin needed to pull a deep squid free, maintain control in a strong current, or handle an unexpected double hookup. This power remains progressive to preserve the integrity of the rig and avoid breaks. The vertical fishing versatility is also notable: while designed for cephalopod fishing, the rod also supports light slow jigging approaches, allowing targeting of coastal fish while keeping the same rod on board. This dual capability makes it an ideal solution for anglers who want to optimize gear without multiplying rod types.

Finally, attention to balance and ergonomics ensures great comfort in use. Weight distribution reduces wrist strain during repetitive animations, enabling long days of fishing without excessive discomfort. For regular anglers and occasional enthusiasts alike, this high-performance saltwater rod delivers a pleasant feel and strong confidence on board.

Usage Tips

To get the most from the Tenryu Brigade Flip, adapt your rig and lure weight according to depth, current strength and boat drift. For cephalopod fishing, prefer egi jigs and Ika Metal rigs dense enough to remain vertically loaded while keeping a natural fall. The goal is to maintain continuous contact with the rig, with the rod tip slightly elevated, to perceive any anomaly immediately.

In practice, alternate short, sharp animations with pause phases, letting the rod work. The tip sensitivity transmits micro-vibrations and signals shy takes, especially when cephalopods are reluctant. For light slow jigging, keep the same vertical control principle: raise the rod progressively, let the lure fall while keeping the line taut, and use the blank’s reactivity to animate the jig without forcing. Also remember to regularly adjust the reel drag to take advantage of the rod’s power while protecting delicate cephalopod tentacles.

FAQ

Question 1: Is this rod reserved exclusively for cephalopod fishing?

Answer: The rod is primarily optimized for boat fishing for cuttlefish and squid, with a tip sensitivity ideal for these techniques. However, its design focused on vertical presentations also makes it suitable for light slow jigging targeting coastal fish, provided recommended weights and uses are respected to preserve its performance and longevity.
