Temple Reef - Jigging Rod - 66 Grand Cru

Temple Reef 66 Grand Cru

The Temple Reef 66 Grand Cru is a premium slow pitch jigging rod engineered for anglers who demand maximum sensitivity, refined jig control, and serious lifting power. Designed with Temple Reef’s renowned Direct Sensory System™ (DSS), the Grand Cru delivers unmatched feedback from the jig to the angler, allowing you to detect subtle bites, bottom structure, jig movement, and every headshake during the fight.

Finished in a striking matte deep burgundy red, the 66 Grand Cru combines cutting-edge blank technology with elegant craftsmanship, making it a true rod for the offshore jigging enthusiast.

Built specifically for deep water and heavy offshore applications, the Grand Cru series offers exceptional backbone while maintaining the smooth moderate-slow action required for modern slow pitch jigging techniques

Key Features

Direct Sensory System™ (DSS)

Temple Reef’s proprietary DSS construction enhances vibration transfer directly through the blank and reel seat, dramatically increasing sensitivity and tactile feedback. This allows anglers to feel:

• Subtle bites
• Jig flutter and movement
• Bottom composition changes
• Hook pressure during fights
• Fish movement and direction

The DSS system minimizes vibration loss between the blank and the angler’s hand for maximum responsiveness.

Powerful Moderate-Slow Action

The Grand Cru series features a refined moderate-slow action designed specifically for:

• Slow pitch jigging
• Controlled jig flutter
• Deep water jig presentations
• Heavy fish lifting power

The blank loads progressively under pressure while maintaining excellent recoil and fish control.

The advanced 70/30 joint design provides:
