The Tica Reaper 80-200g Slow Pitch Rod is built for anglers who demand precision and sensitivity on every drop. Crafted around a lightweight, flexible fast-taper blank, this 1.8m (approximately 5'11") one-piece rod delivers instant loading and crisp response, making every jig feel incredibly alive in the water.

• 1.8m one-piece fast-taper blank that’s tuned for quick hook-sets and standout feel.
• optimized for 80–200g jigs, ideal for slow jigging applications where precise lure presentation matters.
• 12 titanium oxide guides plus a precision tip ensure smooth line flow, excellent casting control, and reduced friction for longer, cleaner retrieves.
• Fuji ECS Trigger reel seat with a cut-away grip that reveals the blank beneath and lets you feel every nuance of the rod’s action—enhancing sensitivity and control.
• flexible, ultra-high modulus graphite construction delivers a light, responsive feel without sacrificing power when you drive a strong hookset.
• designed for braided lines in the PE range of 1.0 to 3.0, giving you reliable bite registration and solid hook-setting performance.
• a purpose-built slow jigging tool that reflects Tica’s focus on precision, balance, and tactile feedback, tuned for anglers who chase bigger bites with lighter gear.

Why this rod stands out: the combination of a fast-taper blank and a cut-away Fuji ECS graphite reel seat translates every bite into immediate feedback. The lightweight yet strong construction keeps fatigue at bay during extended jigging sessions, while the 12-guide setup ensures your line tracks perfectly through every cast and retrieve. This is a dedicated slow pitch jigging partner that helps you position lures with surgical accuracy, set hooks with confidence, and feel the water’s response at the rod tip.

Ideal scenarios include deep-water jigging from a boat where you need quick hooksets on aggressive strikes or subtle, patient drops where the smallest bite matters. Pair it with a compatible reel and braided line to maximize sensitivity and control, then focus on presentation—the Tica Reaper does the rest, translating your technique into consistent, productive bites.

Expert tip: keep your wrist relaxed and let the fast taper do the work—allow the rod to load fully on each lift, then drive the lure with a smooth, deliberate sweep. Regularly rinse after saltwater use and store with the guides clean to preserve performance over time.
