6 Recommended Eging Rods! This is the one recommended for beginners

This article is based on a Japanese article and has been machine translated.

Eging is a fishing technique that uses a lure shaped like a shrimp called an Egi to catch squid.

Squid is more powerful than you think, and it is fun to catch and delicious to eat.

In this article, I’ll introduce a rod that I recommend to beginners who are just starting out with Eging.

We also explain how to choose the best Eging rod for your needs, so please refer to it.

How to choose an Eging rod for beginners

First, I will explain how to choose an Eging rod for beginners.

Please refer to the selection method explained here to find the right rod for you.

The recommended length is around 8ft.

To begin with, the length of an egging rod can range from as short as 7ft to as long as 9ft.

Among them, the rod around 8ft is recommended for beginners.

A rod of around 8ft is just the right length to make it easy to control the lure and still have enough distance to fly.

Therefore, for beginners, it is recommended to use a rod of around 8ft to get used to fishing first, and then change to a shorter or longer one.

Short rods have the advantage of being easier to control and longer rods have the advantage of providing more distance.

It might be a good idea to start with a rod around 8ft and eventually get a few different lengths.

The best hardness is M class.

There are four types of Eging rods in terms of hardness, in order of softness: L, ML, M and MH.

Each of these has its own advantages and disadvantages, but I would recommend a rod with M-class hardness for beginners.

M class hardness can comfortably handle 2.5 to 4 size lures, which are commonly used in eging.

It is also a good idea to have a variety of rod hardnesses, with the M class as the basic hardness.

A soft rod such as L class can throw a smaller bait farther, and a hard rod such as MH class can handle a big bait of No.4 or more comfortably.

The ideal budget is around 20,000 yen

Finally, the ideal budget for a beginner in choosing his or her first Eging rod is around 20,000 yen.

In recent years, there are many rods that can be fished for less than 10,000 yen, but it is also true that rods in the 20,000 yen range can be fished for more than that.

That’s why we’ve picked out rods that we recommend for beginners, from Eging rods under 10,000 yen to those in the upper 20,000 yen range.

We have collected rods that can be purchased with a budget of around 20,000 yen, so if you are a beginner, please try to choose one of these rods.

Of course, if you are on a budget, you can choose a high-end rod that costs more than 20,000 yen.

6 Recommended Eging Rods for Beginners

From here, we will introduce you to some of the many types of eging rods that exist and which are recommended for beginners.

We’ve collected some that you can buy in the 20,000 yen range, so please take a look.

Recommendation 1: Daiwa EMERALDAS X

 

The Emeraldas X is the lowest-priced rod in the Emeraldas Eging series sold by Daiwa.

The rod is priced at around ¥15,000 but is designed for basic performance, making it ideal for beginners to improve their skills.

It is not only light and sensitive but also durable, so you can use it with confidence even if you go fishing frequently.

Among them, the reel seat part uses the “VSS reel seat” which is also used in the top models.

The feeling when actually holding the rod and casting is almost the same as that of the top model.

I would recommend this rod to anyone who is looking for a rod that performs well while keeping costs as low as possible.

Recommendation 2: Daiwa Liberty Club Eging

The Liberty Club Eging is the Eging model of the Liberty Club, a rod series for beginners that Daiwa has developed.

The price is less than 10,000 yen, so it is suitable for those who are new to fishing.

In terms of performance, it features a grip that is easy to grip and easy to make action, and lightness and sensitivity that you cannot imagine in a rod under 10,000 yen.

It is recommended for those who want to improve their skills in Eging, because it has the performance that can satisfy even intermediate and above users.

Also, this rod can be diverted to other fishing such as sea bass fishing as well as eging for squid.

It also has the aspect of being an all-purpose rod.

Recommendation 3: Shimano Sephia BB

The Sephia BB is the lowest-priced model in the Sephia series, Shimano’s specialized brand for eging.

The price is in the upper 10,000 yen range, but its performance is more than the price thanks to the blanks adopted such as “High Power X”.

It is especially excellent in lightness and sensitivity, and its own weight is so light that it is close to the top models.

Having enough sensitivity to catch small bits of squid

Also, S83L and S86L are equipped with a tip called “SofTube-Top”, which has both the advantages of tubular tip and solid tip.

This product is recommended for those who value sensitivity and lightness in eging.

Recommendation 4: Shimano Sephia TT

The Sephia TT is a rod that enables anglers to perform the basic action of eging, which is to move the lure violently from side to side.

In addition, while the price is in the 20,000 yen range, the performance is comparable to the top model, and it is also attractive to excel in cost performance.

We use many technologies such as “Spiral X” and “CI4+” which lead to durability and lightness.

Thanks to the effect of these technologies, many models are lighter than 100g in dead weight, which is one of the best lightness specs among eging rods.

I would recommend this rod to anyone who wants to improve their eging and get to the point where they can call themselves an advanced angler.

Recommendation 5: Shimano Free Game XT S86M

Free Game XT is a multi-piece rod series called “Pack Rods”, which is a compact product with a finishing dimension of 60cm or less.

There are rods suitable for various kinds of fishing in this series, and the 86M is the most suitable model for eging.

Having a feeling of use that is not inferior at all compared with dedicated rods for eging such as the Sephia series

In terms of technology, we use things like “High Power X” and “CI4+” that lead to good sensitivity.

It is suitable for anglers who often go fishing by train or motorbike, because it is quite compact, with a closing dimension of 60cm or less.

The price is in the 20,000 yen range, and it can be said to be a product with excellent cost performance.

Recommendation 6: Abu Garcia Salty Style eging

The “Salty Style eging” is a rod developed by Abu Garcia based on the concept that we want more people to enjoy salt lure fishing.

Lightweight and sensitive enough to satisfy even advanced anglers despite its price of 10,000 yen

The appeal of this rod is that it can be used with the same handling and feeling as rods in the 20,000 yen range, and it is highly recommended for beginners.

From a technical point of view, a small-diameter guide called the “KR Guide Concept” is used, which leads to weight reduction.

It can be used not only for eging but also for other types of fishing, so it is perfect for people who are new to fishing.

Let’s aim at the squid that is delicious both for fishing and eating with the rod introduced here!

Eging is lure fishing that can be easily challenged by anyone and is recommended for beginners.

Especially, the Eging rod used for Eging can be used for various fishing other than Eging, and it is recommended as one of the rods to start fishing.

The six rods introduced here are, of course, highly efficient as Eging rods, so please try targeting squid that is fun to catch and delicious to eat.
