RYVL G-Blade II Slow Pitch Jigging Rod | 1.90M | PE1.5-3
Product Summary
The RYVL G-Blade II Slow Pitch Jigging Rod is RYVL's flagship slow pitch jigging rod, purpose-built for anglers who demand effortless jig action, exceptional sensitivity and reliable lifting power. Constructed with premium Toray SVF 40T & 60T carbon, X45 anti-twist technology, Fuji guides and Fuji reel seat, the G-Blade II delivers an ideal balance of blank recovery, control and strength.
Unlike overly stiff jigging rods that restrict lure movement, the G-Blade II is precisely tuned to load smoothly and recover quickly, allowing slow pitch jigs to flutter naturally during every lift and fall. Since many strikes occur as the jig descends, the highly responsive SVF blank transmits even the lightest bites directly to the angler.
The lightweight one-piece construction provides seamless power transfer, reduced fatigue and superior blank continuity, while premium Fuji components ensure dependable performance in demanding saltwater environments. Designed for serious offshore anglers targeting snapper, kingfish, amberjack, grouper, hapuka, cod and other reef predators, the G-Blade II delivers true slow pitch performance from first drop to final lift.
Brand Story
The G-Blade II represents RYVL's pursuit of modern slow pitch jigging performance. Designed in New Zealand and built with premium Japanese materials and components, every detail is focused on creating a rod that works with the jig—not against it. By combining Toray SVF high-modulus carbon, X45 anti-twist construction and Fuji components, the G-Blade II offers anglers exceptional sensitivity, balanced power and the precise blank recovery required for authentic slow pitch jigging.
Benefits
• Designed specifically for true Slow Pitch Jigging—not traditional high-speed jigging.
• Smooth blank recovery allows jigs to flutter naturally, producing more strikes during the fall.
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during long offshore jigging sessions.
• High sensitivity helps detect subtle bites before fish reject the lure.
• Progressive lifting power maintains constant pressure without overpowering the blank.
• One-piece blank delivers maximum sensitivity and seamless power transfer.
• Premium Fuji components provide outstanding durability and braid management.
• Balanced design improves jig control with less physical effort.
Technology
Toray SVF 40T & 60T Carbon
Premium Japanese Toray carbon with high graphite density creates a blank that is lighter, stronger and significantly more sensitive. Less excess resin allows vibration from the jig and fish to travel directly into your hands.
X45 45° Carbon Construction
Carbon fibers are wrapped at opposing 45-degree angles to minimise blank twist under load. This keeps the rod tracking straight, improves jig action and increases lifting efficiency while maintaining excellent durability.
Fuji Guides
Premium Fuji guides reduce line friction, improve casting and jig presentation, while providing long-term corrosion resistance in harsh saltwater conditions.
Fuji Reel Seat
A lightweight yet extremely rigid Fuji reel seat securely holds the reel in place while improving vibration transfer for better bite detection.
One-Piece Blank Design
Eliminating ferrules creates a smoother blank with uninterrupted power flow, faster recovery and greater sensitivity—essential characteristics for true slow pitch jigging.
Heavy-Duty Rod Tube
Each rod is supplied with a protective rod tube for safe transport and storage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this a true Slow Pitch Jigging rod?
Yes. The G-Blade II is specifically designed for true Slow Pitch Jigging, where the rod loads, recovers and "flips" the jig naturally during each lift instead of relying on brute force.
Why is rod recovery important?
One of the biggest mistakes beginners make is choosing a rod that is too stiff. Slow pitch rods should recover quickly after loading, allowing the jig to flutter naturally on the fall where most bites occur.
Why are most bites felt on the fall?
Experienced slow pitch anglers report that many strikes happen while the jig is falling or fluttering naturally. A sensitive blank helps detect subtle line changes before the fish swims away.
Will this rod lift large fish?
Yes. The rod is designed to control large fish using the reel and drag system rather than high-sticking the blank. This protects the rod while maintaining constant pressure throughout the fight.
Can I use this rod for mechanical jigging?
No. The G-Blade II is designed specifically for slow pitch jigging. Traditional high-speed mechanical jigging requires a much stiffer blank and different rod action.
What jig weight works best?
The recommended working range is 130-340g. Choose the lightest jig that allows you to maintain a near-vertical presentation for the best fluttering action.
What reel size is recommended?
A compact overhead jigging reel matched with PE1.5-PE3 braided line provides the best balance and slow pitch performance.
Why does this rod use Fuji guides and Fuji reel seat?
Premium Fuji components improve durability, braid management and long-term reliability in harsh saltwater environments.
Is a one-piece rod better than a two-piece rod?
Many experienced slow pitch anglers prefer one-piece rods because they provide more consistent blank loading, smoother jig action and maximum sensitivity.
Can beginners use this rod?
Absolutely. While slow pitch jigging requires technique, the G-Blade II's balanced blank helps anglers learn proper rod rhythm and jig presentation more easily than overly stiff rods.
Which fish species is this rod designed for?
Ideal for snapper, kingfish, amberjack, grouper, cod, hapuka, trevally and many other offshore reef and bottom species.
Can I use braided line?
Yes. PE1.5-PE3 braided line is recommended for the best jig control, sensitivity and vertical presentation.
