Shimano Grappler A Type J Jigging Spinning Rods

The fully-redesigned Shimano Grappler Type J Series is built for serious jigging enthusiasts, incorporating Shimano's premium Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank technologies.

Designed with precision engineering, the Grappler Type J series offers a range of casting and spinning models to suit various jigging techniques, making it a versatile addition to any angler's gear.

Shimano engineers have enhanced the lifting power of the Medium Heavy (MH) to Extra-Extra Heavy (XXH) models by reinforcing the butt section, providing additional strength when battling large, hard-fighting fish. The Medium Light (ML) to Medium Heavy (MH) models feature Shimano’s lightweight CI4+ reel seat, which increases sensitivity and improves comfort, allowing anglers to detect subtle strikes with greater accuracy. Meanwhile, the Heavy (H) to Extra-Extra Heavy (XXH) models come equipped with Shimano’s V Hold front grip, which enhances ergonomics, ensuring better handling and reducing fatigue during long fights.

With Fuji Alconite guides for superior line management and EVA grips for comfort and durability, the Grappler Type J series is built to perform in demanding saltwater environments. Whether you’re targeting powerful pelagic species with heavy jigs or finesse jigging for bottom dwellers, these rods provide the backbone and responsiveness needed for success. The combination of high-end components and Shimano’s cutting-edge blank technology makes the Grappler Type J a premier choice for dedicated jigging anglers.
