Tiger Elite Jig Spinning Rod
Heavy boat-jigging spinning rods for offshore and nearshore large species
Spinning counterpart to the Tiger Elite Jig Casting series, built for heavy bottom jigging and offshore boat fishing where a spinning setup is preferred over conventional. Target species are similar: grouper, amberjack, large redfish, sharks, wahoo, tuna. Line ratings of 50–130lb indicate braid-forward use.
Same Ugly Tech graphite/fiberglass blend as the casting variant; Ugly Tuff one-piece stainless guides handle corrosion and heavy braid without guide ring issues. Clear Tip design adds tip durability. The series is compact relative to typical spinning rods in this class, which suits vertical and near-vertical boat presentations.
Two models; both are relatively short for spinning rods in this power class. The 6'6" H (50–100lb) is the lighter-duty option; the 6' XH (80–130lb) is shorter and stiffer, suited for extreme-load vertical applications or fighting large pelagics from a standing position.
Shaded band: the spread of the lineup's 2 models, as percentile rank among same-type rods. Solid line = series median · dashed ring = catalog median.

Model notes
All 2 modelsShort, stiff XH spinning model rated to 130lb. Intended for heavy-load vertical jigging or stand-up fighting. Unusual to see an XH spinning rod at 6', specialized for power over casting distance.
The more versatile of the two, suits nearshore bottom fishing and moderate-depth jigging. Longer blank gives some casting reach for live-bait or cut-bait work when needed.
