Engineered for offshore anglers chasing the toughest pelagic predators, the Shimano Grappler Type C Spinning Rod is a long-range casting powerhouse designed specifically for topwater lures like stickbaits and poppers. Whether you’re targeting giant trevally, tuna, or amberjack, this rod is purpose-built to deliver maximum casting distance and incredible control in battle.
Constructed with Shimano’s Spiral-X and Hi-Power X carbon technologies, the blank delivers unmatched strength, sensitivity, and torsional rigidity—resulting in responsive power transmission during casts and fish fights. The rod’s medium-fast action combines a soft tip for ultra-long lure casts with a powerful parabolic backbone that loads deep under pressure, making it ideal for hard-pulling species.
Outfitted with premium Fuji K-type Alconite guides, a Fuji SiC tip guide, and a heavy-duty Fuji DPS reel seat with down-locking system, the Grappler Type C is a no-compromise tool built for the serious saltwater game angler. Its EVA tapered handle ensures lasting comfort during long battles offshore.
