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 14 Type J GRAPPLER models covers everything from inshore sport and reef fishing to full-blown bluewater battles with the world’s meanest fish!

FEATURE

TECHNOLOGY

SPIRAL X
HI-POWER X
CI4+
SPIRALX_RD
SPIRAL X

Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's patented Spiral X construction enhances catching power for anglers. Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a middle layer of vertical fibers as well as inner and outer layers, both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fiber sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced compression rigidity and increased torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fish fighting.


HI-POWERX_RD
HI-POWER X

Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally-wrapped carbon tape to form an array of "X" shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. This manufacturing process allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control for the angler.


CI4+_RD
CI4+

CI4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies, rotors and reel seats built with CI4+ are further reduced in size and weight.
