XESTA Catapult Light Spec S66ML-J

Offshore Shallow & Deep Blade Jigging / Multi-Light Casting Specialist

Engineered around the core concept of "lightly bending and enjoying inshore casting games," this 6'6" grip-joint model combines XESTA's advanced blank technology for high-efficiency casting and jigging. Built with a fast-taper, high-modulus blank, it allows anglers to effortlessly underhand-cast blade jigs up to 80g with maximum accuracy and distance. The delicate tip section seals subtle bites without giving fish resistance, while the reinforced butt section retains ample stopping power for unexpected big pelagics.

Beyond blade jigging in shallow and deep zones, it doubles as a highly capable vertical light jigging rod for lures up to 180g, as well as a multi-casting tool for Skipjack Tuna (Katsuo), Mahi-Mahi (Shiira), and Spanish Mackerel (Sawara) using plugs up to 60g.
