Shimano Descent Type J Spin Rod – Precision Performance for Slow Pitch Jigging
The Shimano Descent Type J Spin Rod is purpose-built for anglers chasing the perfect balance of power, sensitivity, and lure control when slow pitch jigging in demanding saltwater conditions. Constructed from a solid 724 carbon blank, this rod delivers exceptional lifting strength while maintaining the smooth, responsive action needed to bring slow pitch jigs, octa jigs, and large soft plastics to life.

Featuring a lightweight custom carbon reel seat for a secure and comfortable grip, and corrosion-resistant Seaguide SS316 guides for consistent line flow, the Descent Type J Spin is engineered to withstand the toughest battles. From reef bruisers like snapper, coral trout, and red emperor, to powerful pelagics such as kingfish, amberjack, cobia, mackerel, and tuna, this rod gives you the leverage and control to turn the fight in your favour.

Perfect for spinning reel setups, this rod’s refined action allows anglers to impart precise lure movements, detect even subtle bites, and confidently set hooks on aggressive strikes – making it a go-to choice for serious jigging enthusiasts.
