Kensai Spin Jig Combo 6ft 3in – 80-150g: Heavy-Duty Slow-Pitch Power

Meet the Catch SP3000 paired with the Pro Series Kensai Spin Jig rod in a purpose-built slow-pitch jigging setup that blends off-the-charts durability with precise, confident performance. Designed for offshore sessions—from NZ charter boats to weekend reef-and-pelagic trips—this 6'3" combo tackles 80–150 g jigs with ease, delivering reliable hooks, smooth retrieves, and steady power when you need it most.

Rugged, salt-tested construction — A heavy-duty stainless main shaft teams with a brass pinion and gold anodised main gear to stand up to long days of salt spray, heavy seas, and constant use. The frame sealing, plus a double seal protecting the roller clutch and rotor bearing, keeps salt intrusion at bay, extending life between cleanings and maintenance sessions.

Precision you can feel — The combo combines a standard oscillation gear and alloy slider with helical cut gearing for a steady, efficient retrieve essential to slow-pitch technique. This translates to smooth lure tracking, crisp hook sets, and consistent performance across long runs between drops.

Powerful, dependable drag — Eight kilograms of stopping force are delivered by stacked drag washers using a carbon-weave/PTFE blend, giving you predictable resistance on the strike and during the fight. Paired with precise spool mechanics, you get the leverage you need to drive the hook home and control the fight.

Fluid, accurate line management — Line is guided by a spool bearing for smooth rotation, with a line roller bushing (not a bearing) that keeps tension steady during pauses and surges. The result is true lure tracking in changing currents, reducing line tangles and missed strikes.

Real-world jigging focus — Specifically engineered for slow-pitch technique, this combo offers a 5.2:1 gear ratio and a modest 356 g weight for balanced casting and retrieval. It’s compatible with PE2–4 braid (20–40 lb), and a generous line capacity of approximately 220 metres of PE2 gives you confidence on deep drops and extended jigging sessions.

Built for reliable field performance — The Kensai rod uses high-quality Fuji components and includes a well-placed hook keeper for secure lure storage when jumping spots. The combo is purpose-built for slow-pitch jigging and is engineered to hold up under daily charter-vessel use and demanding clients.

Versatile, ready-to-fish configuration — Lure range (80–150 g) pairs seamlessly with PE2–4 braid, letting you adapt to a variety of jig styles and target species—from reef dwellers to pelagic patients. The integrated design delivers balanced casting, accurate placement, and steady retrieves across conditions, so you can focus on the bite rather than gear fuss.

Why this combo stands out — It’s a purpose-built, real-world-tested setup developed and refined on offshore charter boats, built to endure salt, spray, and the rigors of daily jigging. The combination of robust seals, precise gearing, and a dependable drag system translates into more time fishing and less time cleaning gear. If you’re chasing boss-sized jigs or pelagic bites, this Kensai Spin Jig Combo is tuned for reach, control, and durability that you can trust mile after mile offshore.

Who is this for? Ideal for serious slow-pitch anglers who want a ready-to-fish, long-run setup that pairs with a capable rod for balanced performance. If you fish NZ-style charter trips, reef jigging, or extended offshore sessions chasing pelagics, this combo delivers the feel, power, and reliability you demand.
