Shimano Grappler Type J Jigging Rod
The Shimano Grappler Type J Jigging Rod sets a new standard in the mid-range offshore rod category by delivering premium features at a competitive price. Shimano designed this rod to perform with precision, power, and responsiveness in a wide range of jigging conditions.
Its Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank construction enhances strength and eliminates blank twist, ensuring better power transfer and control. Despite its robust build, the rod remains lightweight and easy to handle during extended jigging sessions and tough fights. The 1+1 section configuration offers compact transportability without sacrificing the feel and power of a one-piece rod.
The Grappler Type J series includes models for both spinning and baitcasting, giving anglers options based on their preferred style. Shimano equips PE 6–8 models with double-footed MN guides for extra durability and stability under heavy loads. Rubber gimbals support PE 6 and 7 models, while metal gimbals on the PE 8 model offer extra strength for battling large offshore species.
Anglers targeting tuna, amberjack, or other hard-fighting fish will appreciate the rod’s crisp action, solid backbone, and smooth handling. The Grappler Type J delivers everything serious offshore anglers need to take on demanding jigging situations with confidence.
