Shimano Grappler BB Type J Jigging Rod 21GRPBBJS603
The Shimano Grappler BB Type J 21GRPBBJS603 brings premium saltwater jigging performance to an affordable price point. As part of the renowned Grappler series, this rod is purpose-built for vertical jigging from boats, blending strength, precision, and lightweight handling for serious offshore anglers.
Shimano engineers equipped this rod with Hi-Power X blank technology, which uses carbon tape wrapping to reinforce the blank from butt to tip. This structure reduces twist and ovalization during aggressive jigging, resulting in improved control, accurate jig movement, and better fight response. You’ll notice the crisp action and responsiveness whether you’re working high-pitch or slow vertical jigs.
The Grappler BB Type J features Fuji K stainless Alconite guides with a Fuji SiC tip, ensuring smooth line flow and long-lasting durability. It also includes a Fuji DPS reel seat with an uplocking mechanism for a secure fit, and a comfortable straight EVA grip that holds up well in wet and salty conditions.
Ideal for PE3 setups and jigs up to 180g, this 6’0″ spinning rod is perfect for targeting mid to large-sized pelagic species like amberjack, tuna, and kingfish.
