The Game Type LJ is one of Shimano’s most advanced jigging rods and is available in both fixed spool and round (multiplier) reel options. The ultra lightweight, slim, highly technical blanks have a remarkable balance of power, strength and responsiveness, which increase the ability to animate jigs more effectively and reduce fatigue and tiredness when fishing.
You will be astounded by the look and feel of the Game Type LJ. It really doesn’t seem possible that a rod so light and responsive can actually fight some of the oceans hardest fighting fish but it can, as has been proved on many occasions around the world. Designed to be used with lighter jigs in the 50-160g range, if you are the type of angler who likes to fish as light as possible, to get maximum enjoyment from your fishing, this is the rod to choose.
The ultra lightweight high modulus carbon blanks of the Game Type LJ feature Spiral X Core and Hi-Power X, which combine to increase torsional and structural rigidity. This is really important when jigging as it ensures the power is transferred correctly through the rod with minimal twisting. The 1+1 section construction, with separate handle, allows easy transport whilst retaining the perfect one-piece jigging and fish-playing action. Available in both round reel and fixed spool reel versions, they feature a mix of Fuji SiC K-Type and Shimano's X-Guide 3D Titanium guides. With a responsive tip and powerful butt, both models are suitable for all jigging and jerking techniques, including slow and fast one-pitch jerks and variable speed combination jerks. Additionally, the elasticity of the blank and fish-playing action enables the Game Type LJ to be used for the most powerful fish.
