Spinning Rod TENRYU BRIGADE FLIP BFT 672 S-MS

Product Highlights

The Tenryu Brigade Flip BFT rod is a benchmark for demanding anglers seeking a precise, sensitive and powerful tool for boat cephalopod fishing. Designed for modern sea techniques, it offers an excellent balance between tip sensitivity and progressive power in the blank, allowing you to perfectly control your rigs while preserving hold on squid and cuttlefish during the fight.

Its specific design for Egi Type Run rigs and Ika Metal techniques enables very delicate lure presentations while maintaining constant contact with the bottom and bites. Information transmission is direct, helping to distinguish a subtle strike from a simple change in tension or current.

This saltwater boat rod also stands out for its comfort of use: careful balance, natural grip and blank responsiveness reduce fatigue during prolonged vertical fishing. It remains versatile enough for light slow jigging with small metal jigs, opening opportunities for other rockfish or coastal pelagics.

Advantages and Strengths

The primary strength of the Tenryu Brigade Flip BFT is its exceptional sensitivity. The tip reacts to the slightest stimulus, allowing you to immediately feel the often very timid bites of cephalopods. This sensitivity is crucial to increase hook-up success, especially when squid lightly nip the lure.

Its tuned action also facilitates precise animation of egi and Ika Metal rigs: controlled lifts, mastered drifts, natural pauses… The rod faithfully follows the angler’s movements without forcing the motion, allowing longer fishing sessions with less fatigue, even during intensive outings.

The progressive power reserve effectively controls catches while minimizing drop-offs. This progression is a real advantage with cephalopods, whose tentacles require continuous but controlled pressure. It is also a significant benefit when the rod is used for light slow jigging to target other bottom-associated species.

Usage Tips

To get the most from this cephalopod fishing rod, pair it with a compact, smooth spinning reel spooled with quality thin braid. A fluorocarbon leader will ideally complete the rig, improving stealth and abrasion resistance.

When fishing with Egi lures, use animations alternating sharp pulls and controlled descents. Let the rod work during lifts, then accompany the fall while keeping light contact to feel the slightest irregularity or touch. For Ika Metal, favor more vertical, rhythmic actions while closely monitoring line tension variations.

In light slow jigging, perform wide but regular movements, letting the jig evolve freely between each impulse. Set the reel drag progressively to maintain constant pressure without ripping the lure from a fish’s mouth or from cephalopod tentacles.

After every sea outing, a thorough freshwater rinse—paying special attention to the guides and reel seat—is essential to preserve performance and prolong the rod’s lifespan.

FAQ

Question 1 : Is this rod only suitable for cephalopods?

Answer: It is optimized for cephalopod fishing, but its power reserve and action also allow light slow jigging for other coastal fish species.

Question 2 : What type of line is recommended with this rod?

Answer: A quality thin braid paired with a fluorocarbon leader offers the best sensitivity and excellent abrasion resistance for sea fishing.

Question 3 : Can it be used from shore?

Answer: The rod is primarily designed for vertical boat fishing, but it can occasionally be used from shore in situations where vertical presentation and precise lure control are required.
