A powerful overhead jigging combo built for mechanical jigging, live baiting and taking on hard fighting offshore fish.

The Shimano Torium 20PG A delivers serious cranking power with its 4.6:1 gear ratio, 15kg maximum drag and 92mm handle. The HAGANE Body provides a rigid platform under load, while Cross Carbon Drag delivers smooth and consistent drag performance. With plenty of braid capacity, the 20 size reel is well suited to deeper water and gives you room when a powerful fish decides to run.

Matched with the Shimano 26 Taipan 5'5" overhead jig rod, this combo is set up for heavy mechanical jigging. The one piece rod is rated for 50–80lb braid and 200–400g jigs, with an integrated graphite blank providing a responsive feel while retaining the toughness needed for demanding saltwater fishing. Fuji O Ring guides and custom EVA grips complete the setup.

The combination of a powerful low geared reel and short heavy jig rod gives you plenty of leverage when working heavier jigs and putting pressure on big kingfish and other powerful offshore species. This exact Torium 20PG and Taipan 5'5" pairing is also sold by other NZ retailers as a mechanical jigging and live baiting combo.
