Shimano Assist Rigs
These rigs have been designed in New Zealand and are suited to the range of Shimano Ocea Butterfly jigs. They are built to last through battles with tough-fighting kingfish and assorted big, deep-dwelling predators.
Equipped with good quality 240kg Spectra cord and impressive round-profile 11.5mm solid wire rings, these rigs feature heat-shrink covering over the knot to improve longevity. Available in 7/0 (recommended to suit 168-224g jigs) and 9/0 (recommended for 280-325g).
Available through Shimano retailers nationwide or visit the Shimano website.
