Shimano Game Type J Fishing Rod for Jigging

One might have thought that we would now be used to such lightweight, ultra-thin rods and their jigging capability with huge, backbreaking species such as Tuna, trevally, coral trout and kingfish. When holding a Game Type J Rod in your hand, it is tough to reconcile that you will be pointing this skinny stick at a fish that, given half the chance, would pull you straight out of the boat. The technology invested in the Shimano Game Type J Fishing Rods for Jigging is nothing short of astonishing.

There are five spin and four overhead models of Shimano Type J Spin from which to choose (Each is sold separately, so select which model you require when ordering). Selection will be determined, more or less, by the line class or weight you wish to fish. Each rod is a superb specimen of fishing engineering with High power Spiral X graphite and Spiral X core, providing a fishing rod blank of superior power and strength. In addition, each blank is dressed with Custom EVA grips and Fuji K SIC guides. These guys look as impressive as they perform.

We all know how physical jig work can be. The constant lift and drop take a toll over a long day, add a few fish battles to that, and it can be exhausting. The Shimano Type J Fishing Rod goes some way to reducing this fatigue as your super lightweight rod seems to work with you, reducing the effort required to operate your jig.

The Shimano Game Type J jigging Spin and overhead models are nothing short of incredible. Priced in the top tier, you’ll feel the purchase, no doubt. You will promptly forget all about your wallet the moment you hook up and then land your first 20kg Kingfish. Get yours now; you know you want one!
