The Gappler BB Type C is a mid-priced series of long range top water rods designed for tuna, GT and other large saltwater game species, using large heavy stickbaits and poppers. With a similar medium fast action to its more expensive Gappler brother, this range brings high performance to a much wider audience.
Building on the fantastic reputation of the Grappler Type C, the Grappler BB version offers a less expensive alternative, and if that’s what you are looking for, you have just found it. Available in 3 lure weight options (100g, 120g and 150g), the Grappler BB Type C is a match for any situation and will certainly inspire you with confidence when faced with the ultimate challenge of saltwater game fishing. Not only will you be able to reach fish feeding on distant bait balls, you’ll be able to immediately take control of hooked fish and dominate them like never before. For the cost, nothing beats the Grappler BB range.
Grappler BB Type C rods are built from Full Carbon blanks utilizing Shimano’s exclusive Hi-Power X technology. This reduces blank twisting when put under extreme force, either during casting or when fighting powerful fish. The benefit is a more direct transfer of power for increased casting range and improved casting accuracy, enabling you to isolate and cast at individual fish in clear shallow tropical waters. Remarkably light in weight, when asked to perform the Grappler BB bends right through to the handle, with an almost parabolic action, producing huge amounts of pulling power. Fitted with high quality stainless steel Fuji K-Type guides and a strong Fuji DPS reel seat, the full EVA handle is fitted with a rubber end piece for increased fish-playing comfort.
