Expert Advice

Pair the T Curve Deep Jig Spin with a quality offshore spinning reel and braid matched to the rating of your chosen rod model. Jig weight should also be selected to suit the rod rating, water depth, current and drift speed. In deeper water, maintaining a relatively vertical line angle helps you stay in contact with the jig and detect strikes. Use a suitable leader for the target species and structure, and avoid exceeding the individual rod model's recommended ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Shimano 26 T Curve Deep Jig Spin Rod designed for?

It is designed for deepwater jigging with a spinning reel, making it suitable for anglers working vertical jigs around offshore reefs, structure and other deepwater fishing grounds.

What reel should I use with the T Curve Deep Jig Spin Rod?

Can I use braid with the Shimano T Curve Deep Jig Spin Rod?
