Jigging World Black Widow 2.0 Rods

30T carbon fiber. Sensitive tip, big-fish backbone. The do-it-all boat rod.

The Jigging World Black Widow 2.0 is built as a true do-it-all boat rod for anglers who want one rod that handles jigging, bottom fishing, and live lining without compromising any of them. The 30T carbon fiber blank delivers the sensitivity to feel a sea bass mouth a jig in 80 feet of water and the backbone to pull a big tog up off structure before they wrap you. Custom guides with SiC rings, a graphite reel seat with double lock, premium EVA grips, and a rubber cross gimbal round out a build that punches above its price.

Why We Like It

Jigging World is one of those builders that punches well above its price tag — the Black Widow 2.0 has the build quality of rods that cost two and three times as much. The 30T blank is the magic: sensitive enough that you feel everything, strong enough to lift big fish out of structure. The 150SFG in particular is the rod we point most New England light-tackle boat fishermen toward when they want one rod to do it all.
