Major Craft GXJ-B62PGX Giant Killing Tuna Conventional Jigging Rod 6'2"

The Major Craft GXJ-B62PGX Giant Killing Tuna Conventional Jigging Rod is designed specifically for targeting powerful bluefin tuna using larger jigs. Measuring 6'2" in length, this rod is built to handle jigs in the 350-500g range, making it ideal for anglers looking to fish deeper and more efficiently with vertical jigs. The single-piece design ensures strength and durability, giving anglers confidence when handling big tuna, especially when pushing the rod to its limit of over 30lbs of drag. This rod's construction caters to the evolving style of tuna jigging, which has increasingly shifted towards using slimmer, heavier jigs for more effective deep-water action.

The parabolic action of the GXJ-B62PGX allows for greater jig movement even at significant depths, improving the presentation and increasing the likelihood of a bite. The rod is lightweight and features a slender build, which reduces fatigue and makes it comfortable for all-day fishing. Unlike longer, fast-action rods, the 6'2" length and parabolic flex of this rod help distribute the heavy drag pressure evenly, making it easier for anglers to fight tuna without needing to rely on the rail for leverage. This jigging rod provides the versatility and finesse needed to successfully land bluefin in California waters.

Optimized for use with lighter frame tall narrow reels, the GXJ-B62PGX is perfect for those wanting to engage in speed jigging, a method that has consistently proven effective for bluefin tuna. Reels like the Accurate Valiant 600N/800N, Okuma Alijos 16, Penn Fathom II 40N, and Daiwa Saltiga 55 pair perfectly with this rod, offering the balance and control necessary for targeting tuna. The higher reel seat placement makes it easier to tuck the rod butt under the armpit, a preferred technique for conventional jigging, ensuring a more comfortable and efficient fight.

The Major Craft GXJ-B62PGX is a conventional jigging rod built with FUJI PSS reel seat components, ensuring reliability during heavy fights. Its design makes it highly suitable for jigging in deep waters where action and sensitivity are crucial to success. With the capability to fish up to PE6-10 (~60-100lb) line and work with jigs between 350-500g, this rod offers the strength and performance that experienced anglers demand. Whether you're targeting bluefin during the day or trying to improve your jigging technique, the Giant Killing Tuna Jigging Rod is a dependable tool designed for serious anglers.
