Shimano Talavera Type J Casting Rods –Shimano engineered the Talavera Type J series of jigging rods for enhanced performance when targeting anything from bottom fish to pelagics with a jig. Designed to fish with a typical speed-jigging tempo, Talavera Type J rods load and unload quickly to provide the ideal flick of the jig as an angler works it through the water column. Compared to the Talavera Type Slow J blanks designed for a slower and more methodical presentation, Talavera Type J rods load faster and pitch the jig more aggressively. Available in both casting and spinning models, the Talavera Type J series of jigging rods feature powers from Light to Medium Heavy to provide anglers with the confidence needed to land their next big fish.
