Shimano Grappler Type Slow J Jigging Rod – GRPSJC68ML

The Shimano Grappler Type Slow J Jigging Rods are expertly crafted for the art of slow pitch jigging, a highly effective angling technique that originated in Japan. Utilizing Shimano's cutting-edge rod blank technologies, these rods offer unparalleled performance and sensitivity to discerning anglers.

With a signature moderate action, the Grappler Type Slow J allows anglers to launch jigs effortlessly off the seafloor, ensuring the lure's enticing flutter as it sinks on a slack line. Despite being designed for the finesse of slow pitch jigging, these rods pack a formidable punch; their deep parabolic flex channels power throughout the entire blank.

Shimano's esteemed Grappler series harnesses the formidable Spiral-X and Hi-Power X construction techniques to forge rod blanks that are among the lightest, most sensitive, and powerful on the market. The innovative Spiral X construction incorporates multiple carbon tape layers wound diagonally in opposite directions, bolstering torsional rigidity while curbing excess weight. This remarkable engineering yields a rod that responds instantly to casting or jigging movements, significantly enhancing the angler's ability to battle fish. Spiral X blanks are a staggering 250% more rigid and 180% less prone to twisting compared to standard constructions.

These top-tier blanks are adorned with Fuji Alconite guides and an SiC tip, conferring supreme durability and friction-free line flow. The rods boast comfortable EVA handles, ensuring a firm and ergonomic grip. Agile, yet sturdy, the Shimano Grappler Type Slow J provides precision control coupled with extraordinary lightness, mitigating angler fatigue.
