About this piece
The Daiwa Catalina BJ Air Portable 60LS–MT is a 2-piece super light jigging rod built for portability and precision. Designed around the Air Portable concept, it collapses to just 96 cm for easy travel in compact cars or trains, yet delivers one-piece strength through HVF Nano Plus carbon, X45 construction and a V-Joint ferrule. The model emphasizes shallow-water sensitivity (10–30 m) with a metal tip that transmits the faintest bites—especially critical when targeting delicate feeders like isaki.
