The 25 Shimano Grappler Type C series is meticulously engineered for offshore casting enthusiasts seeking exceptional performance, versatility, and durability. Designed to handle a wide range of lures and techniques, these rods are ideal for targeting various pelagic species in diverse marine environments.
Key Features
Spiral X and Hi-Power X Construction
The Grappler Type C rods incorporate Shimano's proprietary Spiral X and Hi-Power X technologies. Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a middle layer of vertical fibers and inner and outer layers of carbon tape wound diagonally in opposite directions. This design enhances compression rigidity and torsional rigidity without adding extra weight, facilitating precise casting and fish fighting. Hi-Power X construction involves wrapping the rod blank with diagonally-oriented carbon tape, forming an "X" pattern. This reduces blank twist and increases strength, resulting in sharp and crisp rod control.
Medium Rebound Action
The rods are designed with a medium rebound action, providing a balanced performance that excels in casting, lure operation, and fighting fish. This action supports stable casting games, allowing anglers to effectively work various lures and handle different fishing situations.
Guide Configuration
For rods with Light (L) and Medium-Light (ML) actions, stainless steel framed K-guides are used to reduce weight and enhance castability. For Medium (M) to Extra-Heavy (XH) actions, double-footed MN guides are employed to provide higher strength and rigidity, accommodating the demands of heavier lures and larger fish.
Length Variations
The Grappler Type C series offers a range of lengths, from 7'0" to 8'2", allowing anglers to choose the optimal rod length based on their casting preferences and fishing environments. Shorter rods provide better maneuverability, while longer rods offer extended casting distance.
Model Lineup
The Grappler Type C series includes nine spinning models, ranging from S70L to S82XH, catering to various casting applications and target species. This comprehensive lineup ensures that anglers can select the ideal rod to match their specific fishing needs and preferences.
Shimano's Grappler Type C series stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation and quality in rod design. By integrating advanced construction technologies, thoughtful design features, and a diverse model selection, these rods provide offshore casting enthusiasts with the performance and reliability needed to excel in their pursuits.
