Product Details and Uses

This rod is engineered to enhance the fundamental performance of jigging, allowing the angler to manipulate jigs with incredible accuracy and reduced fatigue.

• Intended Use: Offshore Light Jigging, specifically for use with a Baitcasting/Multiplier reel. It’s suitable for various jigging styles, including slow and fast one-pitch jerks and variable speed combination jerks.
• Target Species: Designed for powerful saltwater fish, utilizing lighter jigs and line classes than traditional deep-sea jigging.
• Blank Technology: The blank utilizes Shimano’s most advanced blank construction to maximize performance:
  • Spiral X Core: A next-generation blank structure that integrates vertical fibers with internal and external diagonal carbon tape layers. This construction achieves superior torsional rigidity (resistance to twisting) and compressional strength, resulting in a lighter, stronger, and more responsive blank.
  • Hi-Power X: The outermost layer is reinforced with diagonally wrapped carbon tape to further suppress blank twist. This ensures that the rod bends in the angler’s intended direction, maximizing power transfer and fish-fighting capability.
• Guides: The rod features a mix of high-quality guides tailored for casting models:
  • Fuji Stainless Steel SiC K-Type Guides: Used for overall line management and durability.
  • Shimano X-Guide 3D Titanium: Used in the tip section. This guide frame is made from strong, lightweight titanium and produced using unique cold forging technology. Its three-dimensional structure and calculated tilt angle are designed to reduce line entanglement and enhance sensitivity, which is critical when working lightweight jigs.
• Handle and Reel Seat:
  • Reel Seat: SHIMANO Multi-Palming Touch CI4+ (Casting/Baitcasting model). This lightweight, compact, and highly rigid seat has a low center-of-gravity, blank-through design that enhances grip performance and sensitivity, ensuring direct feel of the blank.
  • Grips: EVA Split Grip handles for reduced weight, comfort, and better control during the jigging action.
• Construction: The rod uses a 1+1 Section construction, meaning the main blank is a single piece and the handle/butt section is detachable. This design facilitates easier transport while preserving the perfect parabolic, one-piece jigging action.
