Gamakatsu 80XH Swimbait & Extra Heavy Jig Spinning Rod 2.4m 15–60g

Gamakatsu 80XH Swimbait & Extra Heavy Jig Spinning Rod — Pike and Zander Power in 53 cm

A travel-ready extra heavy spinning rod built for serious lure fishing on pike and zander — packs down to just 53 cm without compromising on backbone or sensitivity.

Travel-Ready Without Compromise

With a transport length of only 53 cm across five sections, this rod fits easily in a car boot, checked luggage, or overhead locker. The included hard-shell protective case keeps the blank safe in transit, making it the natural choice for fishing holidays and guided trips abroad.

Extra Heavy Blank for Demanding Lures

The Extra Heavy (XH) blank is stiff, powerful, and designed to handle a casting weight range of 15–60 g with authority. Medium-sized swimbaits, heavy crankbaits, and medium to large soft plastic lures all perform as intended — clean casts, positive hook-sets, and direct contact throughout the retrieve.
