Enjoy precise jig manipulation with your fingertips. A super light jigging model.

Developed with the concept of evolving the jerk, the absolute performance of a jigging rod, to allow for easier and more precise jig manipulation, the Game Type LJ series now includes three tubular models in the Super Light Jigging category, in addition to the standard model (LJ) and full solid models (LJ, SLJ). All models feature the lightweight, high sensitivity, and high responsiveness unique to tubular construction, enabling precise jig control. You can accurately control sliding and falling actions with one-pitch jerks, or create a straight swimming action with reeling jerks, tackling a variety of targets with diverse jig actions.

Key Features

It's all for the sake of absolute performance, "Jerk."

Make jerking easier and more controllable. To achieve the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment sought in jigging, it's essential to faithfully execute the jig action you envision and challenge your target until you're completely satisfied. The GAME Type LJ has responded to the desires of such jigging anglers, continuously pursuing absolute performance and the evolution of jerking.
The blank perfectly blends "ease of use" and "rebound force," the tapered design bends from front to back of the grip, allowing you to feel the change in your hand, and the two-piece design with a grip joint. Everything is designed to enhance absolute performance and jerking. Without truly satisfying jerking, you can't talk about ideal jigging.

A tubular model that expands the possibilities of super light jigging.

This tubular model has evolved to be a rod that more easily replicates the movements of small fish, refining the lightness and jigging performance required of jigging rods. By designing it to be slender, it is lighter and the point of bending shifts smoothly towards the angler's hand, reducing the load and fatigue. In addition, it is easier to sense all kinds of changes such as the resistance of the jig and the current, and the precision of jigging is further improved. Of course, twisting and power loss due to the thin diameter are suppressed by Shimano's unique basic structure, Spiral X Core. During the fight, the entire rod bends slowly, continuously applying pressure to the target and preventing mistakes such as losing the fish or line breakage.

The ideal combination of a slim blank and Spiral X Core: the Standard Series.

The Spiral X Core, featured in the Standard Series, is Shimano's unique basic structure that increases strength by tightening the blank. The slender blank of the Type LJ adopts this structure to create a light, strong, and stable core, allowing for a variety of jigging actions to be performed flawlessly, centered around the classic one-pitch jerk. Its strong resilience, which prevents it from giving way even when jerked hard, embodies one of the ideal forms of a light rod combined with Spiral X Core.

High Power X Full Solid: A full-solid series that changes the way you think.

Developed to overcome the weaknesses of conventional full-solid rods—"twisting," "wobbling," and "sluggishness"—the High Power X Full Solid rod features a design where the outermost layer of the ultra-high-strength ToughTec α material is reinforced with carbon tape in an X-shape. This design maintains the characteristics of a thin, flexible, and tenacious full-solid rod while improving disadvantages such as wobbling and power loss. It achieves high-precision operability that breaks the conventional wisdom of full-solid rods, along with even greater strength. Its specialty is natural jigging, primarily focused on winding.

Features of the 21GAME Type LJ (compared to the previous model): The entire rod is springy. The entire rod bends smoothly.

This model boasts approximately 8% thinner diameter and lighter weight (at the blank level) compared to its predecessor, and its entire body, including the front and back of the grip, is designed to bend smoothly. Furthermore, it possesses a spring-like restorative force thanks to its solid core, making it possible to perform effective jerking with less input. It bends well, and returns well. Experience the fuel-efficient jerking of the 21GAME Type LJ.


Impression

The improved jerk performance is amazing. A tubular SLJ model has also been released.


Hiroto Yamamoto

The biggest improvement in the new Game Type LJ is its feel, which is like a one-piece rod that bends all the way to the grip. When you jerk it, the rod absorbs the weight of the jig and then recovers firmly. It has a jigging feel like never before, making jerking much easier. There is a sense of security in the way the whole rod bends and resiliently. You can enjoy the pleasure of watching it bend. What I would especially like to highlight is the full solid model for SLJ (Super Light Jigging), which was not available in the previous model. It has been finished in a way that almost eliminates the weaknesses typical of full solid rods, such as sluggishness, weight, and twisting. The effect of High Power X Full Solid is probably what made it possible to eliminate these weaknesses. It is light despite being full solid and has little twisting, so it feels like handling a tubular rod.

Furthermore, in 2022, three new items were added to the SLJ series, featuring tubular blanks. SLJ has become quite popular and widespread, and there are many cases where the same jig actions as before are no longer effective and fail to entice bites. The adoption of tubular blanks was a result of seeking higher-level operability by considering the rods simply as jigging rods, without being confined to the framework of SLJ. We wanted to control the jerk width and fall width more precisely. We wanted to firmly control the strength and weakness of the jerk, which would be absorbed by a full solid rod. These items embody these demands. These rods achieve an even higher level of SLJ, being more aggressive, with improved control and responsiveness. The S62-0 and B62-0 are technical specifications. The S62-0 is suitable for one-pitch jigging or when you want to entice bites with small changes in jerk width. It offers high jig control performance, and it is easy to create patterns such as incorporating falls into fast jerks. The B62-0 is a rod that pursues the ease of producing the fall action unique to baitcasting and actions similar to slow jigging. It excels particularly in controlling the fall action during vertical jigging. The S610-0 is a rod designed for ease of casting and long casting distance. Even when attacking at long distances in an oblique direction, it offers excellent sensitivity and provides plenty of information. This rod truly shines with the advantages of a tubular design.

Supports precise operation, X-Guide 3D Titanium

The X Guide 3D Titanium used in the tip section is a guide frame created using Shimano's unique cold forging technology with a strong yet lightweight titanium material. The three-dimensional frame structure, with its calculated inclination angle and the elimination of steps and sharp edges thanks to 3D technology, achieves both trouble-free performance and smooth line release. It also allows for stress-free operation of lightweight jigs in strong winds using PE line. Furthermore, its compact size brings the line closer to the blank, transmitting even the most subtle bites more clearly.

Multi-Palming Touch CI4+ (Baitcasting)

The lightweight, compact, and highly rigid body features a blank-through type low-center-of-gravity reel seat that offers superior grip and sensitivity.

Perfection Sheet CI4+ (Spinning)

The seat offers enhanced grip. Even with a light grip, it provides a secure hold, allowing you to precisely control delicate rod actions as intended.

B62-1/FS Full Solid Series: Designed for powerful, full-bend fights, these rods are rated for 1-2 power.
This model excels at smooth and alluring jig action. The spring-like blank absorbs various tensions transmitted during operation. It makes it easy to grasp changes in current and the timing of jerks, and is suitable for reeling jerks that mimic the straight swimming of baitfish, as well as one-pitch jerks that emphasize natural swimming. This model is suitable for situations where fish are feeding on slow-moving bait, when they are inactive, or when targeting fish that are reluctant to bite on flashy jig actions.

B65-0/FS Full Solid Series: Super Light Jigging Model
This super light jigging model is designed to tackle micro-bait patterns that traditional jigging couldn't effectively capture. It features a flexible and smooth bend that allows for precise control of the movement of small jigs, which are lightweight and offer minimal drag resistance. It enables enjoyable fights with thin PE line while preventing lost fish and line breakage. The 00 power model is the lightest, suitable for fish like grunt, horse mackerel, and sea bream. The 0 power model boasts the underlying strength to handle a variety of targets and even larger bluefin tuna. The baitcasting model is ideal for vertical jigging, while the spinning model is suitable for casting to cover a wide area.
