United Composites GPXJ Jigging Blanks

The new GPXJ blanks from UC are an evolution of the original CXJ lineup of popular jigging rods, tailor made for the California sport boat fishing and designed to get around some of the disadvantages that shorter more parabolic jigging rods have when targeting big bluefin.  They have been extended to 6’4 which gives you a bit of extra leg room for going over other fishermen as well as avoiding trim tabs and props. The addition of an extra layer of woven carbon fiber stiffens up the butt section from last two guides down to the butt, this gives you a lot of extra leverage and pulling power to get line back on your reel. While the butt section is stiffer the tip has been extended with more glass so you can maintain a proper speed jigging action and entice the fish to bite.  A total of 6 models are available starting from a 0 for your typical yellowtail, rockfish and lingcod jigging going all the way up to the 6 capable of fishing 50lbs of drag for the big bluefin. There’s sure to be a model that will suit your needs.  Model Length Action Rating Pc Jig Wt Max Drag Tip Butt Weight GPXJ 6400 6’4” Moderate PE 2-4 1 30-175g 15lb 7.5 0.635 TBD GPXJ 6401 6’4” Moderate PE 3-5 1 50-225g 20lb 8 0.65 TBD GPXJ 6402 6’4” Moderate PE 4-6 1 100-300g 25lb 8 0.655 TBD GPXJ 6403 6’4” Moderate PE 5-8 1 250-500g 35lb 9 0.658 TBD GPXJ 6404 6’4” Moderate PE 8-10 1 300-600g 40lb 9.5 0.685 TBD GPXJ 6405 6’4” Moderate PE 10-12 1 350-700g 45lb 10 0.71 TBD GPXJ 6406 6’4” Moderate PE 12 1 450-900g 50lb 10 0.745 TBD
