Shimano Genpu XT 200PG Right hand

Genpu XT is specifically developed for a wide variety of light offshore vertical techniques. A 60mm power handle is equipped with a Ci4+ extra-large handle knob, for secure powerful handling. Although lightweight, very compact and easy to palm reel, it has a large line capacity 200m – 0.23mm (30lb) for deep vertical fishing with a wide range of jigs and lures.

Lightweight offshore jigging is becoming more popular around European waters, with anglers using the method to target a wide range of species from sporting Sea bass to large powerful cod. If you are looking to get into this side of the sport the Genpu XT reel, combined with mid-priced lightweight saltwater jigging rods like the Speedmaster R Jigging or even the Engetsu BB will open up a whole new world of exciting fishing.

At first glance the Genpu XT looks like a baitcasting reel with a large handle and you may be unsure of its suitability for saltwater jigging. But rest assured, it has the build quality and power to meet all lightweight challenges head on.

Quality Shimano gearing, Shielded Stainless Steel Bearings and that large power handle, combined with a powerful 5.5:1 gear ratio, and 5.5kg drag, will ensure you stay in control of anything you hook. And because it is so compact and lightweight, you can be sure you’ll have a great time using it.
