Catch Kensai Slow Pitch Jigging Rod

Pre-Spooled with Tokuryo Braid

This combo comes pre-spooled with approximately 300 metres of Tokuryo Braid at approximately 22lb. Having braid already loaded onto the JGX2000 means the combo is ready for you to add your leader and jig and get fishing.

The approximately 22lb braid provides a practical balance of strength and line capacity for slow-pitch jigging, snapper fishing and other light to medium offshore applications.

More Than Just a Slow Pitch Jigging Rod

While the Kensai is designed primarily for slow-pitch jigging, its versatile action also makes it suitable for inchiku, kabura, slider, soft bait and micro jig fishing.

This makes the combo an excellent option for anglers who want one setup capable of handling multiple New Zealand boat-fishing techniques.

Tested for New Zealand Waters

Catch Pro-Series rods and reels have been tested and used in New Zealand waters, including on charter boats, to ensure they can handle the demands of regular saltwater fishing.

The result is a versatile and capable jigging combo designed for anglers who want a quality setup without having to match a rod, reel and braid themselves.

Ready-to-Fish Slow Pitch Jigging Combo

If you're looking for a complete slow-pitch jigging setup in New Zealand, the Catch Kensai JGX2000 Combo offers a rod, reel and approximately 300m of 22lb Tokuryo braid in one package.

Add your preferred leader and jig, and you're ready for your next offshore fishing trip.
