Type J (Jigging) Spin Rod The JDM Grappler represents the next evolution of this highly popular offshore jigging and casting series. Now featuring both Spiral X and Hi-Power blank construction. The rods have been tested in the harshest of offshore environments around the world, resulting in a line-up that is capable of grappling with the strongest of ocean predators. 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. Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a blank made of vertical fibers, an inner layer, and an outer layer 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 torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fighting fish. Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano’s Spiral X construction enhances anglers’ “catching power.” Features HIGH POWER/ SPIRAL X GRAPHITE Fuji reel seat Fuji Ocean Guides Tapered front grips Specifications ITEM CODE PIECES LENGTH (M) LENGTH (IN) LINE WEIGHT (LBS) LURE WEIGHT (G) GUIDES TYPE GRPTJB566 2pc 1.68 5’6 PE 6 MAX 300g FUJI K Overhead GRPTJB603 2pc 1.83 6′ PE 3 MAX 180g FUJI K Overhead GRPTJB604 2pc 1.83 6′ PE 4 MAX 210g FUJI K Overhead GRPTJB605 2pc 1.83 6′ PE 5 MAX 250g FUJI K Overhead GRPTJS538 2pc 1.62 5’3 PE 8 MAX 400g FUJI K Spin GRPTJS566 2pc 1.68 5’6 PE 6 MAX 300g FUJI K Spin GRPTJS567 2pc 1.68 5’6 PE 8 MAX 350g FUJI K Spin GRPTJS603 2pc 1.83 6′ PE 3 MAX 180g FUJI K Spin GRPTJS604 2pc 1.83 6′ PE 4 MAX 210g FUJI K Spin GRPTJS605 2pc 1.83 6′ PE 5 MAX 250g FUJI K Spin
