Shimano Speedmaster SPMSJB685 Slow Jig Baitcasting Rod
The Shimano Speedmaster SPMSJB685 is purpose-built for the growing popularity of slow jigging—a method that rewards patience, finesse, and precise lure control. Designed with an elastic blank and a highly sensitive tip, this rod absorbs the rhythmic action of heavy jigs, reducing fatigue and allowing anglers to enjoy extended sessions on the water without strain.
At 6.8 feet in length, the SPMSJB685 provides the perfect balance of reach and control, letting you animate jigs between 180 to 300 grams with ease. Its refined construction dampens the jig’s recoil, giving you smoother motion and better hook-setting responsiveness. Whether you’re targeting deep-sea predators or reef-dwelling species, this rod ensures a consistent and enjoyable slow jigging experience.
Equipped with Fuji guides for smooth line flow and long-lasting performance, and built as a one-piece blank for uncompromised strength and action, the Speedmaster Slow Jig series represents Shimano’s dedication to specialized, high-performance jigging tools.
