The Rod:
The most durable slow jigging rods ever made.
Slow jigging rods have been known for their fragility, especially at the entry level.
The Descent Type J changes that. Designed with durability at its core, this series introduces revolutionary solid carbon blank technology that delivers an ultra-strong, perfectly parabolic action. The result? A rod that folds smoothly from the angler’s hand and is virtually impossible to point-load - even under extreme pressure or when “high-sticked.”
Perfect for those new to metal jigging, Descent Type J is available in both spinning and spiral overhead models. Each rod is fitted with Seaguide’s premium 316 stainless steel zirconia guides and a lightweight carbon fibre reel seat. Whether you’re into light/micro jigging, Tairaba, or slow pitch jigging, there’s a model to match, with options across PE2 to PE4 line classes.
These rods redefine what entry-level jigging gear can be, you truly have to feel them to believe it.
