Game Type EJ: Effortless Power for Electric Jigging! The Shimano Game Type EJ is purpose-built to make electric jigging more accessible, comfortable, and enjoyable for anglers of all levels. Designed to maximize the effectiveness of high-speed and powerful jigging techniques, it’s especially suited for targeting hard-fighting pelagic species like tuna and bluefish. But its versatility doesn’t stop there—the Game Type EJ also performs exceptionally well with slow to mid-speed jerks, making it a dependable choice in a variety of fishing scenarios.

At its core is SPIRAL X CORE technology, which enhances strength in every direction—resisting bending, twisting, and crushing forces for unmatched durability. The blank is carefully tuned to strike the ideal balance between power and rebound, absorbing the strain from electric reel torque while delivering crisp jig control.

Practical features elevate its performance: a long front grip offers secure two-handed support, spiral-wrapped guides reduce line tangles, and a dedicated rod belt minimizes cable sway. The custom compact reel seat paired with a semi-trigger EVA grip provides comfort and control, even when fishing with larger electric reels. For serious electric jigging, the Game Type EJ is built to keep you in control and connected to the action.

Features & Technology:

• SPIRAL X - Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's patented Spiral X construction enhances catching power for anglers. Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a middle layer of vertical fibers as well as inner and outer layers, both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fiber sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced compression rigidity and increased torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fish fighting.

• HI-POWER - Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally-wrapped carbon tape to form an array of "X" shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. This manufacturing process allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control for the angler.

• CI4 - This is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies, rotors and reel seats built with CI4+ are further reduced in size and weight.
