Shimano Grappler Type Slow J Jigging Rod – GRPSJC68M

For avid anglers, dedicated to mastering the art of slow pitch jigging, the Shimano Grappler Type Slow J Jigging Rods stand out as premium equipment tailored for this method. Slow pitch jigging—a highly effective technique steeped in Japanese angling traditions—requires a rod that can delicately manipulate the jig while retaining enough backbone to battle significant catches. The GRPSJC68M, part of the Shimano Grappler series, has been engineered with the prowess to elevate your jigging techniques to unprecedented levels.

This series incarnates Shimano's legacy of innovation with its utilization of advanced rod blank technologies. The Shimano Grappler rods bring a moderate action to the forefront, critical for imparting the unique action on jigs that slow pitch jigging demands. Your jigs will dance upwards off the seafloor, then tantalizingly flutter downwards on a slack line, mimicking the vulnerable movements of prey to entice predatory fish.

Though marked by gentle flex, these slow pitch rods don a deceptive mantle of strength. Their deep parabolic bend ensures that the integrity of the rod is maintained throughout the blank when you're hooked up to the fight with a powerful fish.

Shimano's innovative Spiral-X and Hi-Power X rod construction merit special mention, signaling a seismic shift in rod design. Each rod benefits from a lattice of carbon tape wound in opposing directions around the blank, drastically enhancing torsional rigidity while maintaining the rod's feathery weight. A Shimano Grappler with Spiral X construction is affirmed to be 250% more rigid and up to 180% less prone to twisting than conventional rod blanks.

Additionally, each of these futuristic blanks comes fitted with premium Fuji Alconite guides and an SiC tip, marrying durability with a refined castability and sensitivity. The inclusion of comfortable EVA handles bolsters the rod's ergonomic design, minimizing angler fatigue and ensuring control and precision with every movement.
