Shimano Game Type Slow J Conventional Rods
The Shimano Game Type Slow J Slow Jigging Rods were designed as a tool for creating the proper jig action for anglers pursing fish utilizing a slow jigging method. Slow Jigging rods load more parabolically than conventional jigging rods, to give the angler greater control over the movement of the jig. Shimano designed the new Game Type Slow J rods to fish with lighter braided lines and leader to ensure a fluid connection between rod movements and the jig. Game Type Slow J rods utilize Shimano’s highest performing rod blank technologies — Spiral X Core and Hi-Power X — integrated on ultra-parabolic blanks to optimize performance by increasing blank rigidity and resisting "oval-ing" under load. Available in three slow-pitch jigging models, the new Game Type Slow J rods feature heavy-duty CI4+ grips for enhanced sensitivity and performance while providing all-day jigging comfort. Whether fishing deep with heavy jigs or shallow with a delicate presentation, Shimano's flagship jigging rods allow anglers to target both pelagic and reef fish.
