Gan Craft's Violence Jerk is a dedicated eging (aori squid) spinning series built around hard, deliberate jerking strokes to work egi sizes from 2.5 to 5.0 go. The lineup spans 7'0" to 8'2" and mixes one-piece and two-piece blanks: the 7'2" and 7'6" are one-piece designs that prioritize stroke transmission and hooking power on large squid, while the 7'0", 7'8" and 8'2" are two-piece for transport and reach. Several models carry FUJI WBC counterweight grip specs, and every model is offered in two guide builds, a Stainless-frame version and a higher-priced Titanium-frame SiC version that drops roughly 10 g. Line ratings run PE 0.8 to 2. The series targets aori squid from boats, shallow flats and high structure, with models tuned for lighter egi and easier handling through heavy 4.0 to 5.0 go egi for 3 kg-plus squid.
