The Shimano Genpu XT 200PG paired with the 26 Taipan 6'6" 10-20lb Slow Jig Overhead Rod creates a lightweight, responsive combo with smooth cranking power and excellent control for slow jigging.
The Reel: Genpu XT 200PG
High performance in a compact body, aiming at familiar and favorable opponents.
GENPU XT, which is widely used for small boat fishing, is now available in a stylish red and black design. The 150/151, suitable for kingfish, squid, and flounder, features a larger handle knob and a 55mm double crank handle for improved reeling power.
The new 60mm long crank handle with an extra-large handle knob is designed for fishing that requires toughness, such as EGI octopus and flatfish. Despite its compact body for easy palming, the 200PG/201PG has a line capacity of No. 2, 200 m, making it possible to target hairtail fish in deep water.
Features:
- Compact, Easy-to-Palm Body – Designed to remain comfortable and manageable while retaining useful line capacity.
- Power Gear Design – 5.5:1 gear ratio provides controlled winding for boat fishing applications.
- 60mm Long Crank Handle – Provides additional leverage for fishing that requires strong winding performance.
- Large CI4+ Round Knob – Shimano equips the 200PG with a large round handle knob for a secure grip and powerful cranking.
- 5kg Maximum Drag – Provides dependable stopping power.
- PE2 / 200m Capacity – Provides useful braid capacity for deeper-water fishing.
- Right-Hand Retrieve – The 200PG is right-hand; the 201PG is the corresponding left-hand model.
