Description

Gokuspecial SHIMAAJI (ゴクスペシャルシマアジ) is Pure Tech/Gokuspe's dedicated rod line for shimaaji (striped jack), developed to place chum precisely on target and appeal to shimaaji as strongly as possible. The 180 and 195 models use a slightly faster, more tip-focused taper than earlier shimaaji rods, and all models use Gokuspe's original slim aluminum reel seat to save weight and keep chum-work easy to control.

This listing stocks:

180 (50-120号) — a 7:3 taper for aggressive chum fishing, with the power to handle a sudden large shimaaji; also usable for katsuo (bonito) and aomono (blue-back pelagic fish)
195 (60-150号) — a high-power model for large shimaaji ("ookami") in rough, rocky ground, still on a 7:3 taper; also usable for katsuo, onikasago (devil stinger), amadai (tilefish) and other mid-depth fishing
220 (40-100号) — a mid-water, mūching-style bend for slow chum work that lands smaller shimaaji without tearing the hook hold; also usable as an all-round light-game rod for madai, kanzen fukase (free-drift float fishing) and hirame

Information

The blank

A slightly faster, more tip-focused taper than earlier shimaaji rods keeps chum placement precise, while Gokuspe's original slim aluminum reel seat keeps the whole rod light for repetitive chum work.

What it's built for

Built for shimaaji (striped jack) chum fishing, with the 180 suited to aggressive chumming for large fish, the 195 built for big 'ookami' shimaaji over rough, rocky ground, and the 220 tuned for slower, gentler chum work on smaller fish.

How it fishes

Suits rhythmic chum-and-drop technique matched to the model's bend, from an aggressive lift-and-drop on the 180/195 to a softer, muching-style presentation on the 220 that avoids tearing the hook hold.

The setup it likes

Pair with a mid-size baitcasting or komase reel, PE3–5 braid with a fluorocarbon leader, and standard shimaaji chum rigs matched to the model's sinker rating.
