About this piece
This is the Major Craft Giant Killing 1G GK1C-702MH/SWR, a dedicated Spanish mackerel casting rod designed for offshore jig casting. Its low-response blank, built with medium-modulus carbon in the main cross, suppresses the violent headshakes of mackerel to improve hookup rates and reduce drop-offs. The 7-foot length allows easy underhand casting from the middle of the boat, making it a versatile tool for both jig casting and breaking-fish situations.
