The Shimano Descent series of slow pitch jig rods have been built for anglers who demand strength, precision, and reliability. Crafted from solid 724 carbon with a slim-profile blank, these rods deliver unmatched lifting power, durability, and the perfect balance of flex and recovery to work slow pitch jigs, octa jigs, and even large soft plastics with ease. Outfitted with lightweight custom carbon reel seats and rugged Seaguide SS316 guides, the Descent range is designed to withstand the toughest battles against hard-fighting species like snapper, coral trout, emperor, kingfish, amberjack, cobia, and mackerel.
Features & Technology:
- Solid 724 Carbon Blank – At the core of every Descent Type J rod is a thin-profile blank crafted from solid 724 carbon, a step up from the traditional hollow or tubular rod builds found elsewhere. This solid construction delivers fantastic lifting power and durability while still offering the flex and recovery essential for slow pitch jigging techniques. It’s the perfect balance of brute strength and finesse. It offers a one-piece solid carbon construction that delivers extreme strength, durability, and lifting power while maintaining the flex and recovery needed for working jigs effectively.
- Custom Carbon Reel Seat – Each rod is fitted with ultra-light custom carbon reel seats, designed for both strength and sensitivity. These sleek fittings enhance comfort and connection between angler and reel, allowing you to feel every movement of your jig and every bite below. Lightweight yet strong, designed for comfort and sensitivity during long jigging sessions.
- Seaguide SS316 Guides – Shimano has equipped the Descent Type J range with hard-wearing Seaguide SS316 guides. Designed to endure saltwater conditions and heavy drag pressures, they ensure smooth line flow and the durability needed for serious battles with powerful fish. Corrosion-resistant, hard-wearing stainless steel guides built to handle braided lines and the punishment of heavy jigging.
