The Rod

The Shimano Backbone 6'6" 1pce 10-20lb Medium Nibble Tip Slow Jig Spin Rod is perfect for slow jigging, micro jigging and slider fishing.  The Backbone series has long established itself as one of the main pillars of the Shimano rod range.

Offering anglers a versatile selection of blanks built on custom mandrels specifically for slow jigging applications. At the core of the Backbone is a blank that features Shimano?s legendary TC3 construction, the same 3-Ply graphite weave technology the early Tiagra game rods were built on. The result is a lightweight and sensitive blank with exceptional lifting power and durability.

To effectively leverage this, reliable componentry has been used through the build. Aluminium Oxide Seaguides provide trouble-free line management with both monofilament and braided lines, while graphite reel seats and slim EVA grips provide optimal comfort and performance. You can rest assured, when selecting a slow jigging rod from the Backbone range that you have a purpose-built rod designed specifically for your fishing application.
