Discover the perfect balance of strength and precision with the Shimano Ultegra reel and Descent Type J rod — engineered for smooth performance and serious jigging power.
The Reel:
ULTIMATE EVOLUTION
ULTEGRA is popular among many anglers because of its rotational performance and durability beyond the standard for its price range.
CORESOLID series design, which pursues smoother and more stable winding, shows its true value especially in fishing that continues a lure with large pull resistance such as a vibration plug at a constant speed.
The basic performance was further upgraded with the addition of INFINITYXROSS, INFINITYDRIVE, and ANTITWISTFIN, resulting in satisfactory usability not only for entry-level users, but also for core users.

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.
