BG-KABIN is the offshore squid division of Breaden's SWG-BOAT GAME line, built for kensaki (spear squid) and aori squid fished vertically from a boat. It descends from the original SWG-BOAT GAME rods of 2002 (the YS65 and YS70), which set out a three-way boat squid style: direct-tied egi worked vertically, a center sinker paired with a slow-fall egi, and metal egi (ika-metal). BG-KABIN is the rod built to run all three.
The division prioritizes bite detection above all else. Tip sections are built in either carbon tubular or titanium solid to register not just clean strikes but feed-up bites, slack bites, and the faint change in the line that signals a squid has moved on the jig. The rods are trimmed to remove excess weight and tuned toward sensitivity and control, so the angler can feel and set on takes a neighboring rod misses.
Four models make up the lineup, all two-piece with a spigot (印籠継ぎ) ferrule, a skeleton reel seat, and a carbon-plate logo grip end. Both 6'6" rods come in bait (606B) and spinning (606S) versions and in titanium-solid or carbon-tube tips; the 700B is a 7'0" bait model on a carbon tube. All carry a 9 to 65 g or 18 to 65 g lure and sinker rating and a PE 0.5 to 1.0 line window.

A closer look at notable models.
The bait BG-KABIN on a titanium-solid tip, rated 9 to 65 g and PE 0.5 to 1.0. Built for vertical kensaki and aori squid from a boat, with a soft solid tip tuned to register feed-up and slack bites.
The spinning BG-KABIN on a carbon-tube tip, rated 18 to 65 g and PE 0.5 to 1.0. The tubular tip gives a crisper feel than the solid version for heavier vertical squid rigs.
The spinning BG-KABIN on a titanium-solid tip, rated 9 to 65 g and PE 0.5 to 1.0. A 6'6" boat squid rod for kensaki and aori, its solid tip loading softly on light egi and metal egi.
The longest BG-KABIN at 7'0", a carbon-tube bait model rated 18 to 65 g and PE 0.5 to 1.0. The added length and heavier lure floor suit deeper vertical squid work and center-sinker rigs.
