Shimano Yasei AX Zander River Jig Spinning

Zander Jigging for River and Still Water

The Shimano Yasei AX Zander River Jig spinning rods are developed primarily for zander fishing with soft plastics on a jig head in rivers. The lighter models also perform very well on still waters. Like all Yasei AX rods, this series is built around a High Modulus Full Carbon blank, manufactured using Hi-Power X and Nano Alloy technology. The result is a blank with significantly reduced blank twist during casting and when playing fish, combined with outstanding sensitivity. Even the most tentative zander bite is reliably transmitted so you can strike with confidence. The rings are Fuji Alconite K-Type, well suited to both mono and braid and contributing to the overall performance of the rod. The handle is a custom EVA split grip fitted with a Fuji reel seat. The Shimano Yasei AX Zander River Jig series delivers top-end quality in the mid-price range.

M or H

With the Shimano Yasei AX Zander River Jig, you have the choice between M and H power ratings. The two available models differ in length, casting weight and action.

Yasei AX Zander River Jig 24M

This is the shortest rod in the series. At 2.40 m it still offers an excellent length for zander fishing from the bank. It is ideally suited when you prefer fishing with lighter jig heads and shads within the recommended casting weight of 12-28 g. Particularly on canals and lakes - slow-flowing and still waters - it is an outstanding choice for targeting zander. Alongside the M rating, the Extra Fast action stands out, allowing particularly precise lure presentation and extremely accurate bite detection. When zander are finicky and biting short, the Shimano Yasei AX Zander River Jig 24M comes into its own and puts fish on the bank where other rods fall short.

Yasei AX Zander River Jig 27H

The most powerful rod in the series, at 2.70 m with a casting weight of 24-56 g. The Shimano Yasei AX Zander River Jig 27H carries an H rating and is right at home on large rivers and in strong currents. Excellent casting performance puts your lure out to the far edge of the flow where the biggest zander hold. The H rating combined with the Fast action delivers very strong feedback and plenty of power to hook large zander cleanly and bring them in safely.
