Superior Power, Sensitivity, and Control
The Shimano Grappler Type J S538 Spin Jig Rod is built to conquer the toughest offshore fishing conditions. As the latest evolution of Shimano’s trusted Grappler series, this rod incorporates cutting-edge Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank technologies, proven through extensive testing in extreme saltwater environments. These innovations enhance the rod’s torsional rigidity and reduce power loss, giving you better control and efficiency during jigging and when fighting aggressive species. With its responsive action, the Grappler Type J adapts effortlessly to a variety of jigging styles for a more refined and powerful fishing experience.
Spiral X Construction
Spiral X technology uses a three-layer structure, starting with vertically aligned carbon fibers at the core. The inner and outer layers are diagonally wrapped in carbon tape, each in opposite directions. This method replaces traditional horizontal fiber sheeting, increasing torsional strength while keeping the rod lightweight. It ensures fast energy transfer, allowing for precise casting and superior power when battling fish.
Hi-Power X Construction
Hi-Power X takes rod construction a step further by wrapping the outermost layer in carbon tape in an X-pattern. Shimano adjusts the tape's angle, width, and placement based on the rod’s target application, resulting in greater strength, less twisting, and sharper rod action. This construction improves accuracy and gives anglers enhanced control in demanding situations.
