Shimano Descent Type J Overhead Rod
The Shimano Descent Type J Overhead Rod is purpose-built for anglers who demand strength, precision, and control when slow pitch jigging in tough saltwater environments. Constructed from solid 724 carbon blanks, these rods deliver exceptional lifting power while maintaining the responsive flex and recovery needed to work slow pitch jigs, octa jigs, and heavy soft plastics with lifelike action.
The one-piece design ensures durability and resilience against powerful fish, while the lightweight custom carbon reel seat provides comfort and stability during extended use. Outfitted with corrosion-resistant Seaguide SS316 guides, the Descent Type J offers smooth line management and long-lasting performance.
Whether targeting reef species such as snapper, coral trout, and emperor, or pelagics like kingfish, amberjack, cobia, and mackerel, this rod is engineered to perform trip after trip with reliability and confidence.

- Solid 724 carbon one-piece blank for unmatched strength and lifting power
- Thin-profile design with ideal flex and recovery for slow pitch jigging
- Optimised for slow pitch jigs, octa jigs, and heavy soft plastics
- Lightweight custom carbon reel seat for comfort and secure grip
