OFFSHORESTICK HSJ CS series

The Smith OFFSHORESTICK HSJ CS is a full-solid-carbon baitcasting rod designed for slow jigging and slow jerk technique offshore. The CS designation stands for the slow series within the HSJ (Hyper Solid Jigging) platform, emphasizing jig control over impact-loaded casting power. At 6'6" with M action, the rod is suited for vertical jigging at moderate-to-deep depths with mid-weight jigs, made for a wide range of offshore species including amberjack, grouper, and similar bottom and mid-water serves.

The blank consists of Hyper Solid Carbon 24 from tip to reel seat, transitioning to high-elasticity woven graphite from the butt guide to the reel seat, with a tubular carbon grip section. This construction provides the stickiness and smooth load required for slow jig cadences. The CS series integrates a long grip with the blank for a lightweight overall structure. Hardware includes a TCS17+KDPS downlock reel seat and a KG titanium top guide with KB+LKW spiral guide wrap, the spiral configuration reduces line-wrap torque during jigging.

Full 1-piece construction; no travel variant documented. Primary source is the Smith Japan page and international retailer listings. The series contains a single model, the HSJ-CS66/M at 6'6". No power rating is listed in available data beyond the M action designation. Single-model series at one length and one power; no tiering or size range documented.
