GRAPPLER BB TYPE BLADE

Serious high-cost performance model for blade jigging

Blade jigging has been gaining momentum in many areas over the past few years. This exciting method, which mainly uses a high-speed retrieve, drives Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and a wide variety of other targets crazy. The need for specialized tackle has been highlighted in proportion to the growing enthusiasm for blade jigging. The GRAPPLER BB TYPE BLADE is a high-cost performance rod that was created in response to such calls and to convey the joy of blade jigging to as many anglers as possible. Blanks with excellent torsional rigidity armed with SHIMANO's unique HI-POWER X reinforced structure, which suppresses shaking even when reeling at high speeds and yet does not interfere with the target's bite with a soft tip and fuse with a powerful butt that can respond to strong counter attacks and support secure hooking and a stable fight. The reel seat is thicker in diameter to ensure a stable grip and reduce the burden on the angler. Declaration of serious blade jigging. The real game starts here.

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+

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.
