Anyfish Anywhere Uptide Pro MK2 9ft 6in 90-200g

Overview

The Anyfish Anywhere Uptide PRO MK2 9'6" 90–200g is a specialist uptide boat rod from the PRO Series, designed specifically for lighter leads and lighter lines in less demanding tidal conditions. Supplied under code AN-UT96200, it features a slim, lightweight carbon blank built in two sections with a long-tip/short-butt configuration.

At just 440g, it's notably light for a dedicated uptide rod, sitting 15g lighter than its more powerful 175–300g sibling, the AN-UT96300. The blank pairs a fast J-Curve tip with a powerful mid and lower section, while a parallel butt section adds stability under load.

Finishing touches include Fuji BCMNAG guides, a Fuji DPS 22mm reel seat, a Japanese shrink-wrap handle and a shaped Duplon foregrip. A cloth rod bag is included as standard, and the rod is compatible with both fixed-spool and multiplier reels.

Perfect For

This 90–200g version is particularly suited to shallower estuary and inshore marks, where traditional uptide casting with 3–7oz leads is highly effective. It's the better choice of the two Uptide PRO MK2 rods when you don't need the extra power or casting range of the 175–300g model.

Published target species for this exact rod include smoothhounds, bass and codling, while the powerful mid and lower blank sections retain enough reserve strength to handle large blonde rays and tope when needed.

Technical Insight

The fast J-Curve tip is more than a marketing term — it's designed to sit naturally in the tide, absorbing the movement of the boat while still registering bites clearly. Once a fish is hooked, the more powerful middle and lower blank sections take over to provide the lifting power required.

The Fuji BCMNAG guides are deliberately spaced to work effectively with either fixed-spool or multiplier reels, giving anglers flexibility in setup. Combined with the lighter 3–7oz lead rating, this allows lighter line and braid to be used to combat the tide, making the rod more sensitive and enjoyable to fish with in appropriate conditions compared with the heavier 175–300g model.
