The OKUMA Slow Hunter redefines the standards of slow jigging, integrating the exclusive Air Power Tech technology that masterfully combines the strength of solid carbon with the classic sensitivity of hollow blank. This jigging rod represents the perfect evolution for European anglers, specifically designed for the needs of the Mediterranean and deep vertical fishing techniques.
The technological heart of the Slow Hunter lies in the revolutionary advanced Air Power Technology that creates perfect balance between extreme lifting power and superior tactile sensitivity. This exclusive innovation allows instant perception of every minimal variation in jig behavior during descent and retrieve, fundamental for inducing attacks from suspicious predators.
The slim blank and perfectly balanced construction guarantees prolonged comfort during long slow pitch jigging sessions, drastically reducing wrist and forearm fatigue. Despite the contained thickness, the blade offers incredible power to dominate sea bream, amberjack, grouper, bonito, and other large predators in extreme fishing conditions.
The Fuji O double-bridge guides represent the top of the range for slow jigging, evenly distributing braided line load during prolonged fights and resisting continuous braid wear. The double-foot configuration guarantees maximum stability even under extreme pressures.
The integrated blank protection with resistant coating preserves the structure from impacts, rubbing against the gunwale, and the corrosive action of saltwater, significantly prolonging the rod's operational life. This characteristic proves fundamental in boat fishing where the rod is subject to continuous stress.
The design specifically engineered for European anglers' needs takes into account the peculiarities of the Mediterranean, typical operational depths (from 30 to 200+ meters), and local target species. The rod excels in deep slow pitch jigging, vertical jigging, moderate speed jigging, and all modern vertical techniques.
The ideal pairing is with the Tesoro LD reel to create a definitive and perfectly balanced configuration that maximizes performance in every condition. The combination guarantees retrieve smoothness, drag power, and total fish control. Perfect for offshore jigging, deep drop, and all vertical techniques requiring maximum structural integrity and sensitivity.
