GAME TYPE J

Jig, Power & Stress Free! Evolved form of the absolute fundamentals!

This impressive new series feature improved blank technology and offer five spin and two overhead’s ranging from PE2.5 to PE6 line ratings. Improving on the original 2015 series, the 2020 series features Hi-Power X and now Shimano’s patented Spiral X Core carbon construction to reduce weight and increase strength. Paired with Fuji K Stainless SiC frames, a mix of Ci4+ or Fuji reel seats and an EVA split butt configuration for comfort and lightness, the Game Type J range is purpose-built to be incredibly balanced.

FEATURES

CI4+ Reel Seat

Adopted for spinning models 1-5 power. Reel seat made of CI4+, a more advanced version of SHIMANO's proprietary CI4 material reinforced with carbon fiber. It is lighter and stronger than conventional resin. The surface is coated with a matte rubber coating for easy gripping and non-slip performance.

Fuji DPS20 Seat

Adopted for spinning models 6 to 8 power.

Full Holding Seat

Adopted for bait models 2 to 5 power. The slim tip and the constricted processing provide a snug fit and fatigue-free grip that can be used in a variety of ways, such as grasping, palming, and wrapping. The lower part of the grip is flattened to improve stability when gripped, supporting high-precision jigging from the hand. Furthermore, the use of CI4+ carbon-reinforced material has made the rod lighter and more sensitive.

Fuji PSS20 Seat

Adopted for bait models 6-8 power.

rubber gimbal

Adopted for 6 and 7 power.

metal gimbal

Adopted for 8 power.

All Double-foot Ocean Guide with emphasis on strength & rigidity

Adopted for 6-8 power.

Grip joint 2 piece

TECHNOLOGY

SPIRAL X CORE
HI-POWER X
CI4+
SPIRALXCORE_RD
SPIRAL X CORE

Spiral X Core is Shimano's newest and most advanced blank construction technology. By integrating Spiral X carbon tape construction with Toray Nanoalloy® technology, Spiral X Core constructed blanks benefit from up to 10% more torsional rigidity and up to 15% more compressional rigidity than rods built with Spiral X. Shimano is unique to the market by applying by high-strength carbon tape with this unique and patented Spiral X construction.


HI-POWERX_RD
HI-POWER X

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+_RD
CI4+

CI4 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.
