Shimano Grappler A Type Slow J Jigging Conventional Rods

Leveraging advanced rod blank technologies and a detailed layout and design, the Shimano Grappler A Type Slow J Jigging Conventional Rods offer a versatile tool built for slow pitch jigging applications in nearshore to offshore waters. The model range reaches all the way up to 500g jigs, covering the bases from small reef fish all the way to large tuna, grouper, and more. 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 heartiest of species out there.

The Evolution of Rod Blank Technologies

At the core of the Grappler Type Slow J 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, both for fighting fish and effectively working a vertical jig.

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 slow pitch jigging rod for smooth performance, turning that jig alive.

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 and fish fighting capability and the ability to keep connected to the jig and more precisely work it.

Strengthening the Angling Experience

Seen on all Grappler Slow J models is its CI4+ reel seat, effectively locking down your favorite reel securely. Its CI4+ material is based off a reinforced carbon fiber, physically lighter and of higher strength then the conventional resin design with the added benefits of being more rigid and sensitive for the great bite detection. Lightweight and durable Fuji Alconite guides line the length of each model, with comfortable EVA grips that continue the rods lightweight yet durable theme.
