The Grappler BB Jigging range is an exciting and affordable saltwater series that sits within the existing Grappler family and offers a fantastic combination of high performance and affordability. Built on Hi-Power X blanks, the range includes models for Jigging (Type J), Light Jigging (Type LJ) and Slows Jigging (Type Slow J).
The great value Grappler BB Jigging range mirrors the highly respected Grappler range, with the attraction of reduced cost. In fact, if you use many different styles of jig methods, from light to heavy and fast to slow pitch, it is quite possible to buy multiple use-specific rods for the price of just one high-end model. Alternatively, if you want to upgrade to a specialised jigging rod, the Grappler BB makes a great transitional range, offering the very latest actions, premium build quality and Shimano’s enviable reputation. Grappler BB Jigging is a true offshore gem offering an unbeatable quality to price ratio.
The Grappler BB is the next generation of Shimano offshore rods built with blanks enhanced with Shimano's Hi-Power X blank technology. These slim rods have sensitive tips combined with extreme power to tame even the wildest pelagic fish and as its name suggests, will handle pretty much anything you care to put in their path with ease. The two section (1+1) configuration reduces transport length for more convenience, especially when fishing from small boats. All models are fitted with high quality Fuji Stainless Steel K Type guides, and have ergonomic shaped EVA split grip handles and Shimano custom designed reel seat (Type LJ), or Fuji reel seat (Type J & Type Slow J).
