Product Overview of Shimano SHIMANO 26 Grappler Type J S60-4/3 Jigging Rod 277107
■Manipulate the jig accurately and fight powerfully! Overall performance has evolved.
A grappler that has evolved the overall performance required for an offshore rod by repeatedly testing against a wide variety of targets in Japan and big players from around the world. The Type J, which is the core of the Grappler series, has achieved further evolution in “jerk response strength” while retaining the rock-solid sense of reliability equipped with the Spiral X and High Power X. The jig can be manipulated more accurately, and the overall performance has been refined to allow you to fight powerfully without getting tired. Rod actions, which are the core of jerks, are thoroughly analyzed for each item, and the right people are updated in the right places. We have applied unique special designs from each point of view, such as technical response power, etc. The 2 to 5 power models used in offshore waters are equipped with a light and strong CI4+ material reel seat that emphasizes ease of grip and maneuverability. Fight stability has also been greatly improved, such as the 6-8 power model, which is equipped with a V-hold grip that can be held firmly against the world's biggest players. There is also a lineup of 3-piece models, and a full range of 20 items covering all fields, from offshore to expeditions, will support anglers who challenge big players in Japan and overseas.
Technical & Strong! An offshore standard rod with an unrivaled lineup, trained against the world.
The Grappler is a world-class standard rod dedicated to anglers who challenge a variety of offshore games. The lineup, which was created by repeatedly testing not only target fish in Japan, but also against big players from around the world, consists of 5 types: jigging, slow jigging, light jigging, super light jigging, and casting. It covers all the items required for each game. Advanced technology derived from numerous tests has been adopted for each type and all items, and both light response and strength and durability are thoroughly pursued. The characteristics of covering a wide range of scenes with total performance of “operability, response, and strength” required for offshore games without being limited to specific fields or targets are truly a global standard. Precise operability refined in technical games within Japan, and power and durability that can also be used in overseas fields. The specs, which have immeasurable potential, demonstrate high performance that breaks the concept of middle class in every scene.
Rod Action has evolved into a royal road with the right person in the right place.
Type J, which forms the core of the Grappler series, has a lineup of 7 spinning baits each, and a 3-piece model lineup with a total of 20 items. Both models enhance the overall power of “jerk response strength,” which is a unified concept, and the rod action has been updated in the right place. A unique exclusive design has been applied from each point of view. Spinning's 2 to 5 power, which emphasizes operability, is compatible with a variety of jig actions with soft tips, and pursues a balance that makes it easy to grasp jerk timing and less likely to get tired. The bait's 2 to 5 power focuses on response and has slightly high repulsion. The jig is accurately flipped up, and the design makes it easy to create slides and fall actions. Also, the heavy spinning and heavy bait model with 6 to 8 power is designed with an emphasis on power. Fight performance and jerk performance have been improved by adopting a V-hold grip that can be held firmly even at high loads and made into a heavy bat.
Performance is uncompromising. Advanced portability, a new 3-piece standard.
We have a lineup of 3-piece models that are convenient not only for overseas expeditions, but also for fishing trips using public transportation such as trains and buses, and even for shipping tackles. Conventionally, there have been concerns about various disadvantages as the number of joints increases, such as a decrease in strength, an increase in weight, and bending with a sense of incongruity due to seams. However, the “Grappler” is equipped with Shimano's unique technology Spiral X and High Power X, and achieves the same strength as the grip joint model. It also eliminates discomfort caused by seams and draws a smooth bend curve. Furthermore, we succeeded in reducing weight, and overturned the common sense that “3 pieces = heavy.” Combining high portability with reliable performance, this model brings new possibilities to your fishing style.
