Shimano Grappler A Type C Popping Rods

Leveraging advanced rod blank technologies and a detailed layout and design, the Shimano Grappler A Type C Popping Rods offer a versatile tool built to throw topwaters, stick baits, plastics, and other subsurface lures to nearshore and offshore species, all the way to giant bluefin tuna. Unlike others in the Grappler family, this rod is intended for casting and not vertical jigging, with longer length models, different guide layouts, and other componentry to more appropriately fit the purpose. The Grappler series as a whole has been completely redesigned over its previous generation, with further refinement made to its actions and tapers seen in the rod blanks along with new components that ready to elevate the angling experience and tame the wildest of species out there.

The Evolution of Rod Blank Technologies

At the core of the Grappler Type C is its advanced rod blank, utilizing both Shimano's proprietary Hi-Power X and Spiral X technologies to enhance the compressional and torsional rigidity without adding weight. The goal is to mitigate twist and blank ovalization that would normally happen under load, meaning the rod would be losing power, casting distance, and casting accuracy.

Hi-Power X technology involves wrapping carbon tape up and down the length of the blanks outermost layer, reinforcing its twist resistance. With this, Shimano can also fine tune the action of the rod blank, more correctly matching the needs of a popping rod.

Spiral X technology utilizes diagonally multiple layers of carbon tape that are tightly wound diagonally in opposite directions of the rod blank, enhancing torsional and compression rigidity without adding extra weight. An extremely responsive rod blank is created with instant power transmission, improving casting results and fish fighting capability.
