A Basic Slow-Jigging Model Combining All Essential Performance at a High Level
A basic model that brings together the key performance elements required for slow jigging at an advanced level. The blank is built from high-density HVF carbon reinforced with X45, delivering both precise jig control—allowing the angler to move the jig exactly as intended—and the power needed to take on large fish head-on. The reel seat uses the Zero Seat Active Hold Trigger, designed to transmit input effortlessly while remaining comfortable during long sessions. A butt-joint structure provides excellent portability while achieving one-piece-like power and operability.

DAIWA TECHNOLOGY
HVF Carbon
For the carbon sheet—the most performance-influencing element in a rod—Daiwa focuses not only on using higher-modulus carbon fibers but also on reducing the amount of resin (the adhesive “fat” that binds fibers together). By lowering resin content and increasing carbon fiber density, High-Density HVF Carbon becomes more muscular and powerful, an ideal material for rods where strength and resilience are key.
ZERO SEAT
The Zero Seat concept is a new approach to reel seat design, aimed at eliminating stress and allowing anglers to enjoy fishing to the fullest.
X45
Casting, lure action, hook-setting, and fighting all generate blank twist. After years of research, Daiwa concluded that adding a ±45° bias-crossed carbon layer—on top of the conventional 0° and 90° fibers—is optimal for eliminating twist. With X45, twist is suppressed, resulting in dramatic improvements in power, operability, and sensitivity.
PRODUCT DETAILS
Equipped with the Zero Seat Active Hold Trigger, identical in concept to the Salthiga series—reducing fatigue while allowing smooth and efficient movements.
Butt-joint structure ensures portability while delivering near one-piece performance in both power and operability.
ITEM LINEUP
SJ 63B-0 — Technical Light-Style Model
Designed for slow jigging with jigs around 100–180 g. Excels in shallow ranges with outstanding finesse and sensitivity, enabling subtle, technique-driven approaches. The supple action prevents the jig from overreacting, showing its true value in tough conditions.
SJ 63B-1 — Lively, Lightweight Model
Designed for jigs around 120–210 g. Ideal from shallow to mid-depth ranges, allowing quick and efficient nearshore exploration. Excels at slow, bottom-focused approaches using its supple action, while also supporting faster, more upbeat techniques thanks to its rebound power.
SJ 63B-2 — Light-Class All-Round Nearshore Model
Designed for jigs around 150–250 g. Its versatility in nearshore areas is unmatched, demonstrating exceptional performance from shallow to mid-depth zones. Also capable of slow jigging approaches in deeper water—making it a central all-round model in modern slow jigging.
SJ 63B-3 — The True All-Round “SJ Rod”
Designed for jigs around 180–330 g. Highly versatile regardless of field, depth, or target species. Handles a wide range of techniques—from active shallow-water tactics to controlled, quiet approaches in deep zones.
SJ 63B-4 — High-Output Power All-Round Model
Designed for jigs around 200–350 g. Features high output performance with the rebound and power needed to transmit rod action directly to the jig. Best suited for mid to deep ranges, supporting everything from slow actions to power jerks and high-speed jerks. Built to handle unexpectedly large fish without being overpowered.
SJ 63B-5 — Power Model for Big Fish & Deep Zones
Designed for jigs around 230–500 g. Tuned specifically for large targets and deep-water applications. Offers high power and strong rebound characteristics, making it indispensable for taking down big fish in deep environments.
