JACKALL Rod Model Numbers Explained

A Japanese-market JACKALL model number can tell you the reel type, fishing length, power, and selected construction features. The key is to read the code in blocks—and to recognize when a different series uses a different pattern.

This guide covers BPM and Revoltage bass rods, JACKALL × SHIMANO Poison Adrena, BRS shore rods, offshore models, GOOD, and TIMON T-CONNECTION AREA. Specifications are tied to named products and generations, with lure and line ratings retained in the manufacturer's published units.

Quick decode guide

Model code	Read it as
B1-C610L+LM	BPM B1 family, casting, 6'10", Light Plus, low-modulus specification
RVII-C64ML-ST	Revoltage generation II, casting, 6'4", Medium Light, solid tip
BRS-S106M-SURF	BRS, spinning, 10'6", Medium, surf application
TCA-S55LML-ST	T-CONNECTION AREA, spinning, 5'5", L/ML combined power, solid tip

Read in blocks: series or family → reel type → length → power → construction or application suffix. Then verify the specification table, because a suffix such as SJ or a final digit can mean different things in different JACKALL families.

Start with Five Recognizable Blocks

Take BPM B1-C610L+LM:

Part	Meaning
B1	BPM's one-piece family, which also includes selected grip-joint models
C	Casting
610	6 feet 10 inches
L+	Light Plus power
LM	Low-modulus carbon specification

This particular model is a one-piece rod with a 3.5–12 g lure rating. The code identifies its configuration; the specification table supplies the weight range.

Use that same reading sequence—series → reel type → length → power → additional specification—as a starting point. The sections below show how each family arranges that information.

Feet and Inches, Not Decimal Feet

Length codes join the feet and inches together. 66 means 6'6", 610 means 6'10", and 106 means 10'6". The split changes when either the feet or inches require two digits. JACKALL's GOOD naming explanation uses the same feet-and-inches approach.

Power Is Separate from Action and Lure Weight

Common power labels include UL—Ultra Light, L—Light, ML—Medium Light, M—Medium, MH—Medium Heavy, H—Heavy, and XH—Extra Heavy. They identify power classes, while the manufacturer's lure range describes the intended weight range for a particular rod.

Action describes bending characteristics and can appear in a separate specification column. For example, RVⅡ-C64ML-ST has Medium Light power and Extra Fast action. ST identifies its solid tip, not its action.

Bass Rods: BPM, Revoltage, and Poison Adrena

BPM: B1 and B2 Identify Different Construction Families

BPM takes its name from Beats Per Minute, the term for musical tempo.

B1 is the one-piece family, including selected models with detachable grips. B2 identifies the center-cut two-piece range. A B1 model such as B1-S73M is listed as two physical sections because its grip is removable; that is a different arrangement from a center-cut B2 rod.

After B1 or B2, C means casting and S means spinning. The length and power follow, with additional letters identifying construction or intended use.

Code	Meaning	Example and how to divide it
G	Glass composite	B1-C70MG: M power + G construction
BF	Bait finesse	B2-C63MLBF: ML power + BF application
HD	Heavy Duty	B1-C67MH+HD: MH+ power + HD specification
SB	Swimbait specification	B2-C73XHSB: XH power + SB application

G, BF, HD, and SB are separate from the power letters preceding them. MG is M + G; XHSB is XH + SB.

The B2-C73XHSB example combines a 7'3" length, center-cut two-piece construction, and a maximum 120 g lure rating. Its published closed length is 114 cm. SB identifies the swimbait role; 120 g is this model's stated limit.

Revoltage: Keep the Generation and Tip Code

The Revoltage models discussed here use the RVⅡ designation. Read RVⅡ-C64ML-ST as:

RVⅡ / C / 64 / ML / ST

Revoltage, casting, 6'4", Medium Light, solid tip. JACKALL lists one-piece construction, Extra Fast action, a 3.5–14 g lure range, and 5–12 lb line. Its casting solid-tip specification uses 30t carbon.

A different suffix can identify different construction: RVⅡ-C66ML-GC uses a glass-composite blank and is listed with Regular action. Read ST or GC first, then compare the action and lure range of the named model.

JACKALL × SHIMANO Poison Adrena: Numeric Reel-Type Codes

Poison Adrena follows Shimano's numeric pattern. The leading 1 identifies casting; 2 identifies spinning. The remaining length digits and power letters follow.

Model	Breakdown
1610M	1 / 610 / M: casting, 6'10", Medium
264UL	2 / 64 / UL: spinning, 6'4", Ultra Light

The construction comparison is important:

2024 Poison Adrena model	Published construction	Closed length
1610M	Two sections, grip joint	177.1 cm
1610M-2	Center-cut two-piece	107 cm
264UL	Two sections, grip joint	168.8 cm

Shimano explicitly identifies the two-section models without a final 2 as grip-joint designs. No -2 suffix does not mean an uninterrupted one-piece rod.

For Poison Adrena, Shimano defines + as a setting between the stated power class and the next stronger class.

BRS: Shore-Fishing Applications and Combined Power Ratings

BRS stands for Bay, River, and Surf. In the 2026 lineup, the following examples show how reel type, length, power, and application fit together.

2026 model	Read the code as	Published weight limit
BRS-S106M-SURF	Spinning / 10'6" / Medium / surf fishing	Lures: 40 g maximum
BRS-S100MH-SJ	Spinning / 10'0" / Medium Heavy / shore jigging	Jigs: 80 g maximum
BRS-S100ML/MH-SJ	Spinning / 10'0" / combined ML/MH / shore jigging	Plugs: 50 g; jigs: 70 g maximum

All three are center-cut two-piece models. SJ denotes Shore Jigging in BRS.

On BRS-S100ML/MH-SJ, JACKALL describes an ML-power upper section combined with an MH-power butt. The notation expresses the power distribution; it does not mark the rod's joint location.

The same nominal power also covers different lure ranges between categories. BPM B1-C65M is rated for 5–21 g, while the 2026 BRS-S106M-SURF is rated to 40 g. Both carry M. Use the exact model's weight rating when matching your lures.

The BRS family spans shore applications, so suffixes such as SJ and SURF must be read within the shore lineup. Source: Image: JACKALL

Offshore Models: A Different Meaning for SJ and the Final Digit

BamBluz RB: The Final 2 Can Mean Power

BBRB-SJ-C662 separates as:

BBRB / SJ / C / 66 / 2

BamBluz RB, Slow Jigging, casting/conventional tackle, 6'6", and power class 2. Compare the manufacturer's Power and section-count fields:

Model	Length	Power	Sections	Published jig limit
BBRB-SJ-C661	6'6"	1	2	160 g
BBRB-SJ-C662	6'6"	2	2	200 g
BBRB-SJ-C633	6'3"	3	2	250 g

All three use grip-joint construction. The last digit in C662 is power, even though the rod also happens to have two sections.

SJ here means Slow Jigging, not Shore Jigging. SLJ identifies a separate Super Light Jigging category, as in BBRB-SLJ-S64SUL, a 6'4" spinning model with Super Ultra Light power and an 80 g jig limit.

Read these terms within the series: BRS-SJ and BamBluz-SJ describe different fishing applications.

BIN-BIN STICK VCM: Read the Model Separately from the Series Name

The 2025 BIN-BIN STICK VCM uses glass-and-carbon composite blanks. JACKALL describes the series through its Vacuum concept, emphasizing a flexible bend and the ability to follow changing loads during tai-rubber fishing.

Model	Code breakdown	Published construction
BSV-C511UL	BSV / C / 511 / UL: VCM series, casting, 5'11", Ultra Light	Two sections, handle joint
BSV-C68ML	BSV / C / 68 / ML: VCM series, casting, 6'8", Medium Light	Two sections, handle joint

Both have a published DOTERA MAX 300 g load rating. Preserve that qualification when reading the specifications; it is not labeled as a casting-weight range. VCM identifies the series concept, while the BSV model code supplies the configuration.

[[JDMAS:jackall-binbin-stick-vcm-bsv-c511ul]]

GOOD: 2PC, TL, and Fixed-Line Poles

GOOD uses particularly direct construction labels. 2PC means two-piece, while TL identifies telescopic construction. Its model names also use S for spinning, followed by length and power.

GD-S56UL-2PC

GD / S / 56 / UL / 2PC

GOOD, spinning, 5'6", Ultra Light, two-piece construction. JACKALL publishes a 1–5 g lure range. The final label specifies the transport format; UL describes power.

GD-S80M-TL

GD / S / 80 / M / TL

GOOD, spinning, 8'0", Medium, telescopic construction. Its specifications give four sections, a 71.5 cm closed length, and a 5–21 g lure range. TL tells you that it telescopes; the table supplies the number of sections and packed size.

GD-240 and GD-360

These are fixed-line poles used without a reel. Their numbers state metric lengths: 240 cm and 360 cm, respectively. The rig attaches at the tip. This is a different numbering pattern from the feet-and-inches codes on the GOOD spinning rods.

For this pair, the absence of S or C fits the fixed-line configuration. It is a feature of these products, not a rule to apply to every rod name without a reel-type letter.

TIMON T-CONNECTION AREA: Tip, Line, and Combined-Power Codes

TIMON's T-CONNECTION AREA lineup uses the TCA-S prefix for the spinning models shown here. Its suffixes distinguish tip construction, blank material, and line-oriented specifications.

Model	Relevant code	Meaning in that model
TCA-S55LML-ST	LML + ST	Combined Light/Medium Light power; solid tip
TCA-S61L-G	L + G	Light power; glass-composite blank
TCA-S60UL-E	UL + E	Ultra Light; ester-line-oriented model
TCA-S61L+E	L+ + E	Light Plus; ester-line-oriented model

The manufacturer's listings identify the solid-tip and glass-composite specifications and provide ester-line ratings for the E models. E describes the line-oriented specification, not an additional power class.

TCA-S55LML-ST: Two Power Labels Without a Slash

Read the code as:

TCA / S / 55 / LML / ST

T-CONNECTION AREA, spinning, 5'5", Light tip with a Medium Light butt, solid tip. JACKALL's model-development explanation explicitly defines LML this way. The power combination does not require a slash: BRS uses ML/MH, while this TIMON model joins L and ML together.

T-CONNECTION AREA also varies part of the guide-thread coloring by model to help anglers distinguish their setups. That is a visual identification aid alongside the full model code.

[[JDMAS:jackall-timon-tca-s55lml-st]]

Read the Number 2 in Its Own Context

The examples in this guide show why position and series matter:

Where 2 appears	Example	Meaning
Leading digit in Poison Adrena	264UL	Spinning model
BPM family identifier	B2-C73XHSB	Center-cut two-piece family
Poison Adrena construction suffix	172H-2	Two-piece model
Final digit in a BamBluz power code	BBRB-SJ-C662	Power class 2

Match the digit to its position and series: reel type, construction, and power are separate fields.

[[JDMAS:jackall-rod-code-collection]]

Turn the Model Name into a Useful Comparison

Start by identifying the series and generation. Then separate the reel type, length, power, and any construction or application labels. Keep combinations such as XH + SB, ML + G, and LML + ST intact while you work through the name.

For the final selection, compare the exact model's lure or jig rating, line specification, action, joint arrangement, and closed length. In offshore tables, retain qualifiers such as JIG or DOTERA instead of treating every gram value as a casting limit.

Use the code to identify the configuration, then use the specification table to match it to your tackle. That is the difference between recognizing a model name and knowing what you are ordering.
