Unconventional specifications that defy middle-class concepts. Next-generation standard with the addition of a 3-piece model.

[New for 2021: Grappler Type J 3-Piece Model] Grappler Type J offers 12 models for both spinning and baitcasting which cater to most jigging situations. The newly designed blank comes with the high end features such as Spiral X and Hi Power X, both of which are very rare for this price range. In addition to being light, strong and unwavering during fish fights, the spinning model with PE 8 and baitcasting models with PE 6, 7 and 8 are equipped with double-footed MN guides. Rubber gimbals are used on PE 6 and 7 rods while metal gimbals are used for PE rated rods, making it suitable for targeting big game fish.

TECHNOLOGY

SPIRAL X
HI-POWER X
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.
