The Game Type J series uses Spiral X Core and Hi-Power X blank construction throughout. Spiral X Core integrates Nanoalloy-reinforced carbon tape with Spiral X construction for up to 10% more torsional rigidity and 15% more compressional rigidity over standard Spiral X blanks. Hi-Power X adds diagonally-wrapped carbon tape on the blank's outer layer, tuned per power class for twist resistance and crisp response.

Spinning models through Heavy power use a CI4+ reel seat for reduced weight and increased sensitivity. Models at Heavy power and above step to a Fuji reel seat for added durability when fighting large fish. All models use Fuji SiC guides. Lure weight ratings run from max 180g on ML models to max 400g on the XXH. Line ratings run max 30lb on ML to max 100lb on XXH.

The spinning lineup covers 5'3" to 6'4", from XXH down to ML, pairing with fast-jigging applications on both nearshore and offshore grounds. Both casting and spinning models are offered in this series at $499.99 per rod.

GTJC53XXHA Spinning · 5'3" · XXH · MF action

5'3" XXH casting, max 400g lure, max 100lb line, moderate-fast action. Compact jigging stick built for maximum jig weight in a short package. The Fuji SiC guide train and XXH blank handle heavy PE line and large jigs in deep or current-heavy environments.

GTJS53XXHA Spinning · 5'3" · XXH · MF action

5'3" XXH spinning, max 400g lure, max 100lb line, moderate-fast. Compact spinning configuration for heavy jig presentations deep. The short blank gives strong mechanical advantage when working large jigs in deep water.

GTJC56HA Spinning · 5'6" · H · MF action

5'6" Heavy casting, max 300g lure, max 60lb line, moderate-fast. A standard-length high-speed jigging casting rod for targeting pelagics and large reef fish with medium-heavy jigs. Fuji reel seat and SiC guides.

GTJC56XHA Spinning · 5'6" · XH · MF action

5'6" XH casting, max 350g lure, max 80lb line, moderate-fast. Steps up from the H model with extra-heavy power for larger jigs and harder-pulling fish. Fuji reel seat suited for heavy-duty jigging duty.

GTJS56XHA Spinning · 5'6" · XH · MF action

5'6" XH spinning, max 350g lure, max 80lb line, moderate-fast. Adds power over the 56H for fishing heavier jigs or targeting fish that demand more terminal authority on the hookset.

GTJS56HA Spinning · 5'6" · H · MF action

5'6" Heavy spinning, max 300g lure, max 60lb line, moderate-fast. A core high-speed jigging spinning model with Fuji SiC guides and Fuji reel seat. Well-suited to targeting amberjack and similar species over deep structure.

GTJS510MHA Spinning · 5'10" · MH · MF action

5'10" Medium Heavy spinning, max 250g lure, max 50lb line, moderate-fast. Slightly longer than the 5'6" MH for more sweep in the jigging stroke. CI4+ reel seat; a good all-around offshore spinning stick for mid-weight jigs.

GTJC60MLA Spinning · 6'0" · ML · MF action

6'0" Medium Light casting, max 180g lure, max 30lb line, moderate-fast. The lightest casting model, suited for finesse jigging on nearshore structure with lighter PE and small to mid-size jigs. CI4+ reel seat.

GTJC60MHA Spinning · 6'0" · MH · MF action

6'0" Medium Heavy casting, max 250g lure, max 50lb line, moderate-fast. Bridges the gap between the M and H models, offering more lifting power for heavier jigs in deeper water while retaining the 6'0" length for stroke efficiency.

GTJC60MA Spinning · 6'0" · M · MF action

6'0" Medium casting, max 210g lure, max 40lb line, moderate-fast. Mid-range casting model for a broad range of nearshore and offshore jigging situations. Pairs well with mid-weight Butterfly-style jigs.

GTJS62MA Spinning · 6'2" · M · MF action

6'2" Medium spinning, max 210g lure, max 40lb line, moderate-fast. Extended-length medium model for situations where a longer stroke aids jig action. CI4+ reel seat suits lighter PE lines and finesse offshore applications.

GTJS64MLA Spinning · 6'4" · ML · MF action

6'4" Medium Light spinning, max 180g lure, max 30lb line, moderate-fast. The longest and lightest model in the lineup. Designed for lighter jigs and lighter PE line on nearshore or moderate-depth grounds where presentation subtlety matters.
