Description

Abu Garcia SaltyStage KR-X Prototype Super Light Jigging (ソルティーステージプロトタイプスーパーライトジギング) targets isaki, aji, warasa/inada (yellowtail) and madai as well as bottom-dwelling rockfish, built around a 100% domestic nano-carbon blank made with the new Triarchy Force construction (CPC blank, DPH structure, NS taper) using Toray Nanoalloy carbon, fitted with Fuji SiC-S guides and the KR guide concept. It is rated for PE 0.4-1.2 and handles jigs up to 100g, with 60-80g being the easiest weight to fish.

The XSSC-642SL-MAX100 is the baitcasting model, built around vertical jigging with a multi-point guide layout and a skeleton reel seat for high sensitivity. The XSSS-672SL-MAX100 is the spinning model, with its guide setting adjusted for casting and searching wider areas.

Information

The blank

A 100% domestic nano-carbon blank built with Triarchy Force construction keeps the rod light and torque-rich, resisting twist under repeated jigging strokes while telegraphing light bottom bites clearly through Fuji SiC-S guides on the KR guide concept layout. The balance of weight and stiffness is judged for comfort across a full day of fishing rather than a single cast.

What it's built for

Built for super-light offshore jigging for isaki, aji, warasa/inada and madai as well as bottom-dwelling rockfish, in depths where jigs up to 100g are used and 60-80g is the easiest weight to fish comfortably all day. Conditions, water clarity and the time of year all play a part in how well this style of fishing performs.

How it fishes

The baitcasting model suits vertical jigging with short, sharp strokes and a skeleton reel seat for high sensitivity to bottom contact; the spinning model's guide layout is built for casting and searching wider areas with the same jigging cadence. Adjust the exact retrieve speed and pause length to match water temperature and how actively fish are feeding on the day.

The setup it likes

Pair with a small jigging reel loaded with PE0.4-1.2 and a fluorocarbon leader matched to the jig weight in use, sizing tackle up slightly for deeper marks or stronger current. Always check knots and terminal connections before a session, particularly when stepping up to heavier drag settings.
