These rods are designed for anglers who want to explore new possibilities in the world of jigging, offering unprecedented strength and responsiveness.

The latest Game Type J Jigging rod series features Shimano's patented Hi-Power X and Spiral-X Core technologies, ensuring flawless performance even in demanding conditions. The Spiral X construction involves multiple layers of carbon tape tightly wound diagonally in opposite directions.

Spiral X blanks are 250% more structurally rigid and 180% less prone to twisting compared to standard blanks. To complement these state-of-the-art blanks, the Game Type J Rods incorporate high-quality components. Models with power ratings from Medium-Light to Medium-Heavy feature Shimano Ci4+ reel Seats, which are comfortable, lightweight, and highly sensitive. For models rated as Heavy to XX-Heavy, Fuji reel seats are used to ensure increased durability when battling with large fish.

All models are equipped with lightweight and durable Fuji SiC guides that can withstand extreme drag pressures. The combination of the Game Type J Rod paired with Shimano's flagship series of jigging tackle is unparalleled when it comes to various jigging techniques for both pelagic and reef fish.
