At Gerrys Fishing, we highlight the Shimano Alivio Boat Quiver 1.80m (50-150g) as a superb entry-level rod for those exploring light boat tactics like Bolentino and bottom legering. The 1.80m (approx. 6) length is the ideal middle ground in the rangecompact enough to be used comfortably in the confined space of a small boat or cuddy, yet long enough to manage rigs effectively.

This rod is designed to be highly sensitive and incredibly durable, making it an excellent choice for junior anglers or those who want a reliable, budget-friendly scratching rod for fun days on the water.

Functional Design & Sensitive Construction

• Durable Composite Blank: Built on a robust composite blank, the Alivio Boat Quiver is designed to take the knocks and bumps associated with boat fishing. It features a moderately fast action that provides enough backbone to handle a wide range of fish while remaining fun and engaging during the fight.

• Integrated Solid Glass Tip: The standout feature is the fixed solid glass fibre tip. This quiver tip is exceptionally supple and serves as a highly visual bite indicator. It allows you to see the tiny rattles of cautious fish like Bream, Gurnard, or Flatfish, ensuring you know exactly when to strike.

• 50-150g Payload: With a rating of up to 150g (approx. 5oz), this rod is perfectly suited for shallow to medium depths. It has the power to hold position with a moderate lead in the tide, yet retains a finesse feel that makes even smaller catches feel significant.

Reliable Saltwater Hardware

• Shimano Hardlite Guides: The rod is equipped with Shimano Hardlite guides, featuring anodized steel frames and aluminum oxide liners. These are designed to be tough and corrosion-resistant, handling both monofilament and braided lines with ease.

• Versatile DPS Reel Seat: A dependable, screw-down DPS-type reel seat is used to ensure a secure fit for a variety of reel sizes, from small spinning reels to compact multipliers.

• Comfortable EVA Handle: The high-density EVA grip provides a secure, non-slip hold even when your hands are wet. It is also very easy to wipe down and maintain after a session in salt spray.

Use Example: Inshore Scratching and Light Bottom Fishing

Imagine you are out on a calm day, anchored over a patch of broken ground or a sandbank in 20 meters of water. You are fishing for table fish like Whiting or Pouting using small hooks and delicate baits.

The Alivio Boat Quiver 1.80m is the perfect tool for this scratching style of fishing. Because of its compact size, it is incredibly easy to handle on a busy boat. You can simply watch the Solid Glass Tipit will dance at the slightest interest from a fish. When the tip eventually folds over, the composite blank provides a smooth, forgiving action that prevents hooks from pulling, helping you bring your catch safely to the surface.
