Compared with the previous unsuffixed Type J Casting, the Light model (TTJC60L) has no A counterpart, the guides change from SeaGuide Zirconia to Fuji O, the foregrip goes from 2" to 2.5" and the printed grip length from 16.5" to 15.5", DIAFLASH is new, and the list price drops from $119.99 to $109.99. Shimano lists the series for speed jigging for a range of gamefish.
