Grappler Type J rods represent the next level in jigging performance, engineered with SPIRAL X and POWER X blank technologies for enhanced jig control and unmatched fish-fighting power. Every detail of these rods has been fine-tuned to reduce angler fatigue while increasing efficiency and strength during intense battles offshore.

Designed through rigorous testing and precise analysis of blank action, loading, and responsiveness, these rods deliver exceptional lure control that serious anglers can count on. Models from PE2 to PE5 are fitted with lightweight CI4+ reel seats for sensitivity and comfort, while heavier PE6 and PE8 models feature V-hold grips to ensure superior stability when under maximum pressure.

With 14 models in the range, the Grappler Type J covers everything from inshore and reef jigging to deepwater confrontations with the ocean’s toughest predators—offering serious performance for serious fishing.

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.
