The SHIMANO GAME Type J Full Bend series represents a significant advancement in jigging rods, meticulously engineered to meet the diverse demands of modern anglers. This series combines innovative materials and cutting-edge technology to deliver exceptional performance across various jigging techniques.
Advanced Construction and Materials
At the heart of the GAME Type J Full Bend rods is the integration of TAFTEC∞, a high-strength carbon solid material known for its superior durability and flexibility. The blanks are further reinforced with the HI-POWER X FULL SOLID structure, where carbon tape is applied in an X-pattern over the blank. This design effectively suppresses unwanted vibrations and torsion, ensuring precise control and reducing power loss during operation.
Versatile Performance
The unique full-solid construction of these rods provides an outstanding torqueful bend, allowing for a responsive action that accommodates a wide range of jigging styles—from slow jerking to fast luring. This versatility makes the GAME Type J Full Bend series suitable for targeting various species, including bluefish, tuna, migratory fish, hairtail, and red sea bream.
Enhanced Maneuverability
To improve maneuverability during jerking motions, the rods feature a flat rear grip design. This ergonomic enhancement allows anglers to comfortably contact the grip with their elbow, facilitating smoother and more controlled movements.
