Shimano Trevala PX Jigging Casting Rods

Upgrading the renowned Trevala rod family with some of Shimanos most advanced rod technologies the Shimano Trevala PX Jigging Casting Rods are a versatile series built for premium performance. A name that has become synonymous with offshore jigging the Trevala series quickly became a staple among ve...rtical jigging and bottom fisherman after it brought the revolutionary Butterfly Jig system to the United States many years ago. Now incorporating technologies that were previously exclusive to top-of-the-line Shimano rod series the Trevala PX seeks to continue the legacy in dominant fashion. Built on blanks featuring Hi-Power X reinforcing technology the Trevala PX increases overall strength and responsiveness while keeping the rod blank lightweight and comfortable to fish. The Hi-Power X blank is built with an outer layer of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions resulting in enhanced torsional rigidity to reduce twist and ovalization while jigging or fighting fish. Fitted with only premium components these rods feature Shimano CI4+ reel seats for supreme comfort and sensitivity. The rod blanks are wrapped with SeaGuide XQG and XOG guides with Zirconia inserts for optimal durability and line management with braided lines. With a diverse array of lengths powers and handle configurations to choose from there will surely be a model to fit your personal preferences. Whether you plan on using it to jig Northeastern fluke and seabass fish the diverse Florida reefs or battle giant pelagics around the globe the Trevala PX is a must-have for your arsenal of rods.

Paired with an avet reel these are one of my favorite rigs for inshore striper, fluke, sea bass, whatever fishing. Strong, light, and responsive. Deserves a sixth star.

I have two versions of this rod, the casting and the spinning, both 7ftMH. Extremely lightweight, very strong. Comfortable to hold, cast, and jig for hours. Holds a 4oz sinker with barely a bend. (Just know, the butt section of the casting rod is 19.5 inches to the trigger.)

Asked by Silas 2 years ago

Can these rods be used for trolling artificials or bottom fishing or live lining? Im wondering if I could use them for Cobia on the Chesapeake. Would any of the models pair with a Seigler LGN?

<span>Hi Silas, The Shimano Trevala PX Jigging Casting Rods are specifically designed for vertical jigging but can also be used for bottom fishing application and live bait fishing applications. These would not be ideal for trolling. Instead I would recom

I have a Penn FTHII8XNSD Fathom II Star Reel. I would like to match this reel with the Shimano Trevala PX Jigging casting rod. The target fish would be close to shore in 100 to 300 feet of water. <p><br /></p>

Davy,<p>The Shimano Trevala PX jigging rod TVXFC58H weighs 12oz.  You can definitely pair a Shimano Tekota 400 with that rod for Striper fishing.  Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.</p>

Asked by William 3 years ago

I am curious if the SHM-4071 would pair well with an Avet SXJ MC Raptor for both inshore and offshore trips. Figure a shorter rod would be better for balance and less fatigue and the 300g rating is appealing since we usually jig up to 10oz.

Rick - TackleDirect Customer Service 3 years ago

William,<p>The Shimano Trevala PX Jigging rod TVXFC58H will pair nicely with the Avet SXJ G2 6/4 MC Raptor for inshore and offshore fishing trips targeting fish up to 30/40lbs and jigs to 250g.  If you are looking to fish with 250+g jigs then the Trevala

This rod is not acid wrapped, it has all guides on top in line with the reel.

A great choice for a moderately priced reel would be the Shimano TOR14HGA Torium Star Drag Conventional Reel. These reels are smaller, but very strong and have a lot of torque for their size, which would make a fun pairing with that Trevala. A higher pri

Asked by Brandon 3 years ago

I cant find anywhere on your site (or Shimano's site for that matter) that explains the differences between all of the vertical jigging rods (Trevala, S, PX, Game Type J, etc). Can you provide a brief comparison?

The original Trevala rods are designed for vertical jigging for larger species, whereas the S and PX versions are the spinning and casting models with a thinner blank that can still handle larger fish, but at a much lighter weight. The main difference wit
