Shimano 21 Grappler BB Rod

The new Grappler BB series from Shimano is an exciting and affordable saltwater series that sits within the existing Grappler family. Featuring the premium Shimano and Fuji componentry you’d find in a high-priced rod, the Grappler BB series has you covered for all aspects of saltwater fishing from casting, jigging and slow jigging. Incorporating features such as Hi-Power X blank technology, Shimano custom reel seats and CI4 reel seats, as well as Fuji K Stainless Alconite guides. Shimano’s exclusive carbon wrapped Hi-Power X blank technology ensures blank twist and rotation is reduced when the rod is in motion, giving you increased casting performance, better fight control and a crisper feel when working your lures.

 

Features

• Hi-Power X Blank
• PE 2-8
• Fuji K Alconite Guides/SIC Tip
• Jigging and casting models

 

Technologies

HI-POWER X - In Hi-Power X construction, the blank’s outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an array of “X” shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control by the angler.
