The fully-redesigned Grappler Type J Series leverages Shimano’s premium rod technologiesSpiral X and Hi-Power Xwhile incorporating new blank action and tapers trickling down from Shimano’s flagship rod series to deliver smooth, stress-free jigging performance. With a wide variety of powers and actions in both casting and spinning models to provide versatile rods capable of heightened performance, the Grappler Type J series has a place in every nearshore/offshore jigging angler’s arsenal. Shimano engineers incorporated a substantial power increase in the butt section of Grappler Type J Medium Heavy (MH) to Extra-Extra Heavy (XXH) to enhance angler lifting power. All Medium Light (ML) to Medium Heavy (MH) models feature Shimano’s innovative CI4+ reel seat to increase sensitivity by transmitting more feedback to the angler and boosting in-hand comfort. Type J Heavy (H) to Extra-Extra Heavy (XXH) models incorporate a V Hold front grip design to increase the ergonomic function of the rods when battling hard-fighting fish. This grip design also provides stability, comfort, and a premium aesthetic to improve all aspects of the angling experience.
