Abu Garcia Spike X Jigging Spinning Rod 802S 2.44m 12–28g Extra Fast

Abu Garcia Spike X Jigging Rod 2.44m 12–28g — precision vertical jigging for perch and zander

The Abu Garcia Spike X Jigging 802 delivers the sensitivity and responsiveness you need for effective vertical jigging on perch and zander. Developed by Europe's top predator specialists, this 2.44 m rod combines Nano Technology carbon construction with a fast, direct blank for instant bite detection and confident hooksets.

Ultra-sensitive blank for direct lure contact

The lightweight 30T carbon blank features Nano Technology for maximum sensitivity and responsiveness. Every vibration from your jig travels straight to your hand, letting you feel bottom structure, lure action and subtle takes with precision. The Extra Fast action delivers immediate power when you set the hook, while the 12–28 g casting range suits drop-shot rigs, blade jigs and vertical presentations perfectly.

Anti-tangle guides and blank-touch reel seat

Seaguide XOG stainless steel guides are engineered to reduce line friction and prevent tangles during fast jigging sequences. The Abu Garcia reel seat with blank-touch design transfers vibrations directly from the carbon blank to your palm, while high-density EVA split grips provide secure handling in wet conditions and reduce overall weight for all-day fishing.
