HDJ Series - Heavy Duty Jigging
From our time we spent in Korea, Pacific coast or the Gulf we know jigging rods. Whether it be for cod on the east, Amber Jack in the gulf or Yellow Tail on the Pacific we have a rod for you. Specific jigs require specific actions, these are not your fathers fiberglass rods. A performance built 100% s-glass rod blank provides a light weight tough and ready to battle backbone with a moderate action giving you the correct motion for 2 handed pitching heavy jigs. The HDJ series is also recommended for any bottom fishing application where a very heavy weight would be required.
