GRAPPLER CT

Making light jigging strategies more accessible.

GRAPPLER CT is mainly used in light jigging and is widely active in jigging games in coastal waters. The ability to freely control fall speed and accurately grasp the range, and the resulting reproducibility of strategies, give anglers a tremendous advantage that transcends its class. The renewed 25 GRAPPLER CT makes it easier to use with a new FALL LEVER that does not make the the winding of the handle heavy even when braking, and a new winding distance alarm. The rigidity of the HAGANE BODY and the water resistance of X PROTECT have been maintained while the weight has been reduced to 15g, supporting anglers' strategies with unwavering performance.

KEY FEATURE

Achieves both speed adjustment and light winding. A new fall lever that realizes advanced strategies.

The lure of the fall is one of the important strategies in jigging. You can carefully explore the range with a natural fall that blends in with the tide, or invite a reaction bite with a speedy fall that is unquestionable. It is no exaggeration to say that an assembly that effectively produces a fall is an essential item in modern jigging. The fall lever is a mechanism that allows you to control the fall speed with one touch and freely by braking the rotation of the spool. This is an innovative mechanism that allows you to intentionally change the sinking speed by operating the lever, which was previously adjusted by devising the weight and shape of the jig or by the angler's thumbing, and is also expected to have high reproducibility. Its effect is not limited to adjusting the speed of the bite, but also allows you to change the sinking speed of the range you want to pass through and the range you want to invite to increase the efficiency of your attack, or use a strong brake to angle the line and pull the jig diagonally, allowing for flexible arrangements during a series of actions. The fall lever used in the 25 Grappler CT is a new type that does not make winding heavy even when the brake is applied. The fall lever supports jigging with greater strategy and reproducibility.

 

The winding distance alarm supports a streamlined approach.

The new winding distance alarm on the Grappler CT is a new function that allows you to detect the winding distance without looking at the water depth display on the counter. Measurement begins from the moment you start winding after the lure hits the bottom. The alarm sounds up to three times at multiples of the set distance, so you can tell the winding distance by the sound without looking at the counter. For example, when set to 5m (A-5), a notification sound will sound three times every 5m from the bottom to 15m, informing the angler of the winding distance. This function allows you to make intuitive judgments by hearing the captain's instructions such as "There is a reaction at ○m from the bottom" and "Raise ○m when it hits the bottom" without looking at the counter. This is a new function that allows you to concentrate more than ever on the specified depth when winding from the bottom.

FEATURE

Level-wind interlocking

The spool and level wind are interlocked.

A straight line release allows for smooth rig fall. The drag operates smoothly even during fights, making it safe to use even when fishing with fine lines.

NEW FALL LEVER

Easier operation and improved reeling sensitivity. New shape & new mechanism the new FALL LEVER.

The new FALL LEVER has a new shape with an indentation on the top surface for improved fit. Improved operability allows for instantaneous, delicate adjustments as needed, while a one-way roller bearing is installed inside to maintain light winding. Even when fall tension is applied, it keeps its light winding feel.

EVA power handle specification (60mm)

Improved winding power and reeling stability.

This is a 60 mm long specification with an EVA knob. It enables efficient power transmission and powerful reeling, and since the handle knob can be firmly gripped with the palm, it does not lose power even when interacting with large fish, increasing the sense of safety.

Fall speed display

Fall speed is also thoroughly controlled.

The LCD screen displays the reeling speed and fall speed. At the same time, it is possible to grasp the water depth display, allowing for accurate grasp of bite's hit patterns and bite depth layers.

CARBON CROSS WASHER

High performance even when using fine lines.

Adopts CARBON CROSS WASHER that combine good sliding and high durability. The synergistic effect with the level-wind interlocking allows the drag to start moving surprisingly smoothly. Even the fierce pull of a large sea bream can be handled with ease.

HAGANE

HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.


XSHIP_RL_BT
X SHIP

X SHIP provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This increased support allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. X-Ship technology also eliminates the friction between the spool shaft and gear to further benefit anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.


HAGANEBODY_RL_BT
HAGANE BODY

The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power,


XPROTECT_RL_BT
X PROTECT

X PROTECT provides high-level water resistance to the inside bearing of drive gear shaft with waterproof construction.
