Slow Jigging model

The Giant Killing Slow Jigging model batch spans three platform grades, GK1 (entry), GK5 (mid-high, T1100G carbon), and GK7 (top tier), all designed for slow-pitch jigging (SPJ) from a boat. SPJ serves bottom-oriented and mid-column species: red snapper (akamutsu/kuromutsu), cod (tara), flatfish, large rockfish, and bluefin tuna (tonjigi). None of these rods are appropriate for high-pitch jigging, popping, or freshwater use. GK1 SJ rods use medium-elasticity carbon with a Regular Slow (R action) parabolic curve; the design goal is to let the blank work the jig passively without demanding large angler inputs.

GK5 SJ rods (released April 2025) use Toray T1100G carbon configured in 4 axial directions for torsional resistance; rated from 87–116g rod weight and jig ranges from MAX 180g up to MAX 400g. GK7 SJ rods are sold as the heaviest-duty tier, rated in fixed jig weights (shown as single fixed values in the data: 350g, 400g, 500g for the 5'7" models; 180g, 250g, 300g for the 6' models), using RF action for the heaviest deep-sea applications. The lineup splits as follows: GK1 SJ (5 rods, all bait, 6'0", R action, power 1–5 class); GK5 SJ 62 models (4 rods, bait, detachable grip, 6'2", RS action, MAX 180–400g); GK5 SJ 66 models (5 rods, bait, 6'6", RS action, 40–350g); GK7 SJ 57 models (3 rods, bait, 5'7", RF action, extra-heavy jigs 350-500g); GK7 SJ 60 models (3 rods, bait, 6'0", RF action, 180-300g).

All models are bait (overhead/conventional reel) only, Spinning models in this batch is absent.
