Shimano 25 Grappler Type Slow J: Maximum Efficiency for Modern Slow Jigging

The new Shimano Grappler Type Slow J sets a technical benchmark for anglers specializing in slow jigging, thanks to its optimized design that delivers precision, sensitivity, and power throughout every phase of the fishing action. Built with Shimano's patented Spiral X and Hi-Power X technologies, this series stands out for its high torsional rigidity and lightweight construction, ensuring total jig control even at greater depths.

High-Performance Blank for Control and Sensitivity
This rod features a slim, moderate-action blank with a slightly stiff tip, perfect for imparting a natural and controlled movement to the jig while maintaining the sensitivity needed to detect even the slightest bites. With an operating range between 200 and 330 grams, it offers versatility across various deep-water fishing conditions, ensuring a quick and responsive action to each jerk.

Balanced Design for Extended Sessions
The optimized 6'6" (198 cm) length strikes the ideal balance between leverage and handling, reducing muscle fatigue during long vertical jigging sessions. The high-density EVA grip is ergonomic and detachable, making transportation easier without compromising combat stability.

Engineered for Slow-Pitch Jigs
The moderate parabolic action enhances slow-pitch jig performance, accentuating the jig’s descent with a natural flutter that keeps it longer in the strike zone. A strong backbone provides the power and responsiveness required to control and lift hard-fighting bottom dwellers like groupers, amberjacks, and snappers—even in strong current conditions.

Fuji Components for Durability and Reliability
Equipped with Fuji K-Type guides featuring Alconite inserts and a Fuji SiC tip-top, the rod ensures smooth line flow and high wear resistance. The Fuji reel seat offers secure mounting, even with larger reels, ensuring reliability under extreme conditions.

Top-Tier Performance in Every Scenario
The Grappler Type Slow J is a professional-grade tool designed for high performance, offering both technical precision and lifting power in the most demanding environments. A strategic choice for advanced slow jigging practitioners who need equipment capable of handling both depth and the raw power of bottom-dwelling predators.
