The Shimano Game Type J Full Bend B60-5 is a full solid jigging rod designed for exciting, powerful battles with large saltwater game fish. Its hybrid blank combines a high-strength carbon solid core (Tough Tech ∞) with an outer Hi-Power X Full Solid layer, delivering exceptional torque and responsiveness while eliminating the typical weakness of solid rods like twist and power loss. The flat rear grip greatly improves control during elbow jerk techniques, making it accessible to both experienced and first-time full solid rod users.
