Shimano Game Type J Conventional Jigging Rod – GTJC60MLA

Introducing the redesigned Shimano Game Type J Conventional Jigging Rods for 2021. These new rods utilize advanced blank technology to push the boundaries of jigging even further. With exceptional strength and responsiveness, the Game Type J series is perfect for anglers looking to explore new possibilities in the world of jigging.

The Game Type J Rods feature Shimano's patented Hi-Power X and Spiral-X Core technologies in their blanks. The Spiral X construction involves multiple layers of carbon tape wound diagonally in opposite directions, creating a rod with enhanced torsional rigidity and reduced weight. This results in a highly responsive rod that delivers instant power while casting or jigging, and enhances its ability to fight fish. Spiral X blanks are 250% more rigid and 180% less prone to twisting compared to standard blanks.

These rods are equipped with top-notch components to complement their advanced blanks. Models with Medium-Light to Medium-Heavy power ratings come with Shimano Ci4+ reel Seats, known for their comfort, lightweight design, and sensitivity. For Heavy to XX-Heavy models, Fuji reel seats are used to provide increased durability when battling larger fish. Additionally, all models feature lightweight and durable Fuji SiC guides that can withstand intense drag pressures.

Whether you're targeting pelagic or reef fish, the Game Type J paired with Shimano's flagship jigging tackle is unmatched when it comes to a wide range of jigging techniques.
