Shimano Grappler Type J: Master the Jig, Conquer the Fight

Grappler Type J:

This core Grappler series of rods combines SPIRAL X and POWER X blank technologies to provide the next evolutionary step in both jig control and fish fighting strength. All major performance parameters have been optimised to reduce angler fatigue, while maximising your chances of a successful encounter with even the toughest fish in the sea. The amazing lure control offered by these exceptional jig rods is also no accident — it results from hundreds of hours of exhaustive analysis of blank action, loading and response, all aimed at putting fish-catching power in the hands of serious fishers.

The 2 to 5 models are equipped with light-but-strong CI4+ reel seats, while the 6 and 8 models offer V-hold grips for superior stability under extreme load. Best of all, the extensive line-up of  Type J GRAPPLER models covers everything from inshore sport and reef fishing to full-blown bluewater battles with the world’s meanest fish!
