The Shimano 22 Grappler BB series is an entry-level baitcasting reel designed for light jigging applications, offering high maneuverability and exceptional value for anglers targeting various inshore species.
Key Features:
-
HAGANE Body: Constructed with a lightweight and rigid aluminum HAGANE body, the 22 Grappler BB significantly enhances rigidity compared to previous models, minimizing reel distortion and ensuring smooth winding by protecting delicate gear meshing.
-
X-Protect: Incorporates Shimano's X-Protect technology, utilizing a water-repellent structure and special grease to prevent saltwater intrusion into the reel's internals, maintaining performance even in harsh saltwater environments.
-
Level-Wind Interlocking System: Features an evolved level-wind mechanism that synchronizes with the spool, allowing for smoother line release during lure descent and drag operation, reducing resistance and preventing line damage.
-
60mm Power Handle: Equipped with a 60mm power handle, providing increased leverage and winding strength, particularly beneficial when targeting larger species or using heavier jigs.
Design and Performance:
The 22 Grappler BB's compact and lightweight design, achieved through a 1.6mm lower center of gravity compared to earlier models, ensures comfortable handling even for anglers with smaller hands, reducing fatigue during prolonged jigging sessions. The incorporation of the HAGANE body enhances overall rigidity, effectively transmitting the angler's winding force directly to the spool, facilitating efficient retrieval and reducing fight time with larger fish.
Applications:
While optimized for light jigging, the 22 Grappler BB's versatility extends to various fishing styles, including bottom fishing and tenya techniques, making it a suitable choice for targeting species such as snapper, kahawai, and kingfish.
Conclusion:
The Shimano 22 Grappler BB series combines advanced technologies and thoughtful design elements to deliver a high-performance, entry-level baitcasting reel. Its enhanced rigidity, waterproofing, and user-friendly features make it an excellent choice for anglers seeking reliability and efficiency in light jigging and other inshore fishing applications.
