Shimano Game Type J Conventional Jigging Rod – GTJC60MHA

The Shimano Game Type J Conventional Jigging rod has been redesigned for 2021, taking advantage of cutting-edge blank technology to enhance its performance. It is designed to push the boundaries of what a jigging rod can do, offering anglers unprecedented strength and responsiveness.

The latest Game Type J Jigging Rod series incorporates Shimano's patented Hi-Power X and Spiral-X Core technologies in its rod blanks. The Spiral X construction involves multiple layers of carbon tape tightly winding the blank diagonally in opposite directions. This results in enhanced torsional rigidity without adding extra weight, making the rod highly responsive and allowing for instant power transmission while casting or jigging. In addition, this construction greatly enhances the rod's fish fighting capabilities.

Spiral X blanks are 250% more structurally rigid and 180% less prone to twisting compared to standard blank construction. This ensures that the rod remains sturdy and reliable even in demanding circumstances.

The Game Type J Rods are outfitted with high-quality components. Models with power ratings ranging from Medium-Light to Medium-Heavy feature Shimano Ci4+ reel Seats, which are not only comfortable but also extremely light and sensitive. For models rated as Heavy through XX-Heavy, Fuji reel seats are used to provide increased durability when battling large fish.

All models come equipped with lightweight and durable Fuji SiC guides that are designed to withstand the intense drag pressures often encountered during jigging. These guides ensure smooth line flow and reduce the risk of line breakage.

When it comes to jigging techniques for pelagic and reef fish, the Shimano Game Type J paired with Shimano's flagship series of jigging tackle is unrivaled in its performance and versatility. It is a top choice for anglers looking to explore the ever-changing boundaries of jigging in the fishing world.
