Made for the hottest technique in saltwater, the Shimano Grappler Slow Jigging Conventional Rod provides the lure control and big-fish fighting properties needed to excel at this exciting approach. Built on a premium parabolic blank, the Grappler Slow J utilizes Shimano's most advanced technologies, Spiral X and Hi-Power X, to create a rod that helps you fine-tune the connection between rod tip and lure, and is capable of bringing large fish to the surface despite using lighter tackle. This rod has 2-1/2 times the rigidity and resists twisting far better than standard jigging rods, and the actions are perfectly attuned to precise vertical jigging techniques. The guideset features Fuji K-Frame Alconite guides and a Fuji SiC tip-top, and is complemented with a lightweight Fuji reel seat. Extremely sensitive, deceptively strong, and fun to fish, the Grappler Slow Jigging Conventional Rod is a must have for today's jigging maestro.
