The Giant Killing 1G Slow Pitch is Major Craft’s value-priced entry into the slow-pitch game, a light, sensitive, parabolic blank that loads up and springs the jig for you, bringing a real slow-pitch action within reach without the four-figure price tag. All five models are 6’0 conventional (baitcasting) rods with a detachable grip that makes them easy to break down for travel and storage.

The five power ratings step cleanly from finesse to heavy, so you can match the rod to your water and your jig weight:

Power 1: the lightest, most sensitive stick in the series. Dialed for light jigs and shallower water (down to roughly 200 ft) on PE 1-class line, a finesse tool for rockfish and mid-depth work.

Power 2: the do-everything all-rounder. Comfortable with jigs to 250g in 100+ ft of water and the strongest single pick if you’re only buying one.

Power 3: the workhorse of the lineup. Extra backbone to drive bigger jigs to 300g and to keep control in current or over deeper structure.

Power 4: inshore power. Built for 350g jigs, high-drag presentations, and deeper reefs where you need a firm sliding action on bigger bottom fish.

Power 5: the heavy-duty jigger. Handles jigs to 400g and the strongest currents, with the extra stiffness for high-pitch and long-fall techniques and larger fish.

Around here that range covers everything from finesse rockfish and reds to lingcod, whitefish, and sheephead, on up to yellowtail and deeper offshore slow-pitch on the heavier powers.
