Refined through countless hours of testing and analysis, every Grappler Type J rod is fine-tuned for superior blank action, responsiveness, and loading characteristics, giving you unmatched command over your lure and the fight. Models in the PE2–PE5 range come equipped with lightweight CI4+ reel seats, while the heavier PE6 and PE8 rods feature V-hold grips for maximum stability when the pressure’s on.

With 14 models in the lineup, the Grappler Type J is built to handle everything from light inshore jigging to brutal encounters with deepwater giants. Whether you're chasing reef dwellers or pelagic powerhouses, this series gives you the edge.

Features & Technology:

• 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-POWER - 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 - This 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.
