Built for those seeking a high performance jigging rod at a fair price, the Shimano Talavera Type J Jigging Rods are ideal for targeting anything from bottom fish to pelagics. The Talavera Type J was designed to be fished with a typical speed jigging tempo. The action of the rod allows it to load and unload quickly to provide the ideal flick of the jig while working it through the water column. By loading faster, these rods will pitch the jig more aggressively than their slow jigging counterparts. All models feature high density EVA split grip handles for exceptional all-day jigging comfort, and are wrapped with SeaGuide Zirconia guides for smooth drops and fish fights with braided lines. Available in both casting and spinning models ranging from Light to Medium-Heavy in power, the Talavera Type J is perfect for standard jigging applications in both inshore and offshore waters.

This is my first slow pitch specific rod. I am testing the waters. I am pairing this with an Avet MXL 5.8-1 reel spooled with 50lb. power pro.
What is reasonable to expect?...a 70lb bass? big fluke, blackfish and sea bass? ...school tuna? These rods all seem kinda light to me.
My jigs are all 60 grams through 250 grams.

Hi Andrew, Slow Pitch Jigging is a technique that uses slow action rods to give jigs a specific presentation that also gives you the advantage of a light rod while still having amazing power. In terms of expectations, you can most certainly handle whatever you are asking about. We recommend a different rod for the job as the the Talavera Type J rods are not designated slow pitch rods because of the faster action. We recommend looking at the Ocean Tackle International Pitch Black Slow Pitch Jigging rod as a proper candidate for your application ( https://www.tackledirect.com/ocean-tackle-international-pitch-black-slow-pitch-jigging-rods.html ). Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with!
