Product Description
Shimano Descent Type J 5ft 8in 1pc 250g PE4 Spiral Overhead Jig Rod
Built for maximum durability in slow jigging, the Descent Type J 5'8" pairs a one-piece solid-carbon blank with a spiral guide layout for smooth, parabolic loading that won’t point-load under extreme pressure. Seaguide SS316 zirconia guides and a lightweight carbon-fibre reel seat keep the setup tough yet responsive. Rated to 250 g and PE 4, it’s a compact power stick for deep slow-pitch, tairaba and metal jig work.
Ultra-durable slow-jig rod with solid carbon power and spiral stability.
- Solid-carbon, parabolic blank: Bends smoothly through the fight and resists point-loading.
- Spiral guide layout: Reduces torque and keeps braid tracking off the blank under heavy load.
- Seaguide SS316 zirconia guides: Corrosion-resistant frames with slick rings for braid.
- Lightweight carbon-fibre reel seat: Strong, sensitive connection to your reel.
- Compact 5'8" one-piece control: Precise jig cadence in deep water and current.
- Hefty ratings: Jigs to 250 g; main line to PE 4.
Durable components and a purpose-built action for modern slow jigging.
- Parabolic slow-jig action cushions surges and keeps constant pressure on fish.
- Spiral-wrapped guide train limits rod roll and line scuffing on the blank.
- SS316 stainless frames with zirconia inserts for saltwater longevity and smooth casts/drops.
- Carbon-fibre reel seat and EVA grip for comfort and control during long drifts.
- Rated for deep work with 200–250 g metals, slow-pitch and tairaba styles.
