Product Summary 
 
Fish Longer. Fight Harder. Jig With Confidence.
 
The RYVL SJ500W Jigging Reel & Samurai IV Jigging Rod Combo has been engineered for serious offshore anglers who demand lightweight balance, smooth drag performance and the lifting power needed for hard-fighting kingfish, amberjack, tuna and other powerful pelagic species.
 
Many jigging anglers discover that an unbalanced setup quickly leads to fatigue, poor jig action and unnecessary strain after only a few hours on the water. The Samurai IV and SJ500W were designed together as a complete system, delivering exceptional balance, responsive action and powerful fish-fighting performance.
 
The Samurai IV Jigging Rod uses premium Toray 40T & 60T carbon with advanced X-Mesh reinforcement to create a blank that is incredibly light while maintaining outstanding lifting strength. The fast 3:7 action gives jigs a natural swimming action while still providing the backbone required to control large fish.
 
Matched perfectly is the SJ500W Left-Hand Jigging Reel, CNC machined from a solid 6061-T6 aluminium frame with a powerful 30kg carbon drag system, stainless gearing and smooth 9+2 bearing performance. The narrow spool, long jigging handle and rigid frame allow anglers to fish deeper for longer with greater control.
 
To complete the package, every combo includes a FREE heavy-duty hard shell rod case (valued at $299), providing reliable protection during transport and storage.
 
Whether you’re vertical jigging deep reefs, offshore pinnacles or bluewater structure, this combo delivers the performance serious jigging anglers expect.
