The mid-priced Yasei AX Zander River Jig rods are intentionally longer than vertical jigging rods for better casting performance. Specifically designed for fishing for pike perch with jig heads and softbaits on rivers, they are just as effective on canals and still waters as you want to fish off the bank. There are three rods to choose from in the range and which one you choose will depend on the type of water you're fishing and your favorite jig weights. For searching the depths of larger rivers, with heavy jig heads, the 2.70m Heavy version can take a beating. With its excellent casting performance with fast action and an optimal casting weight of 24-56g, you can really cover a lot of water, reach further into the river and quickly sink to the bottom when there is a strong current. The extra length and power also improves control over fish playing with large fish in fast currents. There is also a Medium version of the 2.70m length with a casting weight of 12-28g. This is great for slower rivers, large canals and standing water. For shorter distances, the 2.40m length Medium option (12-28g) really comes into its own. The increased workability and sensitivity of the shorter length makes it easy to put a lot of life into your softbaits and the extra fast action magnifies even the most cautious assumptions, which is especially noticeable when the zander is in a picky mood. The heart of every Yasei AX rod is a High Modulus Full Carbon blank, built using Hi-Power X technology and Nano Alloy. This reduces blank twist when casting and playing fish, resulting in a highly responsive feel which is essential when zander is in a picky mood. To further increase sensitivity and overall performance, the rods are fitted with the latest Fuji Alconite K-type guides which are lightweight and suitable for both braided and mono main lines. In keeping with the high quality design, a Fuji reel seat is fitted to the custom EVA split grip handle, giving this range a modern, eye-catching look to match their brilliant fishing performance.
