The Rod: Descent Type J Slowjig Rod Pe3 - Max 200G

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.

Model: DTJ581SP3
Length: 5'8" / 1.73
Pieces: 1
Max Jig Weights: MAX 200
Max Line Weight Braid: PE 3
Guide Type: SEA GUIDE SS316

The Braid: Shimano Kairiki 8

The new Shimano Kairiki 8 is a renewed 8 carrier braid which is produced in Japan and now features a “VT construction Method” braiding technology. It is a very strong and smooth PE line which is perfect for casting great distances. Available in diameters from 0.06mm up to 0.42mm with a staggering breaking strength of 46.7kg.

It has the perfect properties for spinning in both fresh and saltwater since it is highly sensitive and very smooth, which also results in noise reduction. Also there will be two extra colors available next to the Mantis Green and Steel Grey, namely a highly visible Yellow and Multi Color.

The Multi Color is especially interesting for fishing at greater depths. Due to the smoothness and low diameter, Kairiki 8 is a great line for jigging since it has low water resistance and due to the maximum stretch of < 3.0 %, it is very sensitive as well.

COLOUR: MULTI
LENGTH (M): 300
STRENGTH (LB): 50
