Imagine a jig dancing through the water in a rhythmic pattern, then feeling a hard thump and coming tight on the fish of a lifetime. Grappler Slow Jigging rods load more parabolically than conventional jigging rods, giving the angler greater control over the movement of the jig. Grappler Slow J rods are designed to fish with lighter PowerPro and leader to ensure there is a fluid connection between rod movements and the jig. Utilizing Shimano's highest performing rod blank technologies, Spiral X and Hi-Power X, Grappler Slow Jigging blanks are 250% more structurally rigid and 180% less prone to twisting than standard blank construction. Featuring ultra-parabolic blanks, Grappler Slow Jigging rods are designed for the angler looking to refine jigging technique.

Spiral X
Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's patented Spiral X construction enhances catching power for anglers. Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a middle layer of vertical fibers as well as inner and outer layers, both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fiber sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced compression rigidity and increased torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fish fighting.

Hi-Power X
Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally-wrapped carbon tape to form an array of "X" shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. 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. This manufacturing process 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 for the angler.
