Where & How to Use the W2 Jigging 6 H

• Deep-Water Reef Jigging: The 250g max rating makes this rod the perfect choice for fishing depths of 60m to 120m+. It has the backbone to work heavy long or short speed jigs effectively against high-pressure currents.

• Wreck Fishing for Cod & Pollack: If youre targeting big North Sea Cod or heavy Pollack over deep-water wrecks, the W2 provides the leverage needed to bully fish away from jagged metal structures immediately after the strike.

• Heavy Soft Lure Work: While designed for metal jigs, the responsive tip also makes this an excellent rod for working large, heavy-weighted soft plastics and shad lures for massive Halibut or bottom-dwelling Grouper.

Gerrys Pro Tip

The Power-Load Strike: Because this rod uses a 24/30T carbon blend, it has a very fast recovery rate. When a fish hits your jig on the drop, dont just strike upwards. Instead, crank the reel handle fast to load the rod blank before sweeping the rod up. This ensures the 250g-rated backbone does the work of setting the hook deep into the hard jaw of an Amberjack or Snapper.

Frequently Asked Questions
