Gamakatsu ITM40 Softbait Spinning Rod 80H 2.4m 10–45g

Gamakatsu ITM40 Softbait Spinning Rod 80H — Precision Jig Feedback for Pike and Zander

The Gamakatsu ITM40 (In-The-Money 40) Softbait 80H is a two-piece spinning rod built for active jigging with medium-heavy lures, delivering sharp bite detection and confident casting over longer sessions.

Responsive Blank with Outstanding Bite Detection

The fast-reacting 80H blank transmits every tap, thump and hesitation directly to your hand, making it easier to distinguish bottom contact from a genuine take — a crucial edge when fishing soft plastics for zander in deeper water or along structural edges.

Grip Design Engineered for Two-Handed Casting Comfort

The handle length is sized so you can cast two-handed while the lower section of the rod still rests comfortably against your forearm. This reduces fatigue during repetitive jigging and gives you better control when working lures on a tight line.

Choose the Right Variant

This is the only current variant available in the ITM40 Softbait series. It covers a practical mid-range casting weight suited to most canal, river and reservoir jig fishing.
