Shimano Grappler Type J B538 Overhead Jigging Rod 5’3” PE8 2pc

Designed for fish-fighting power!

The Shimano Grappler Type J B538 Overhead Jigging
Rod features awesome newly designed blanks packed with
high-end features like Spiral X and Hi-Power X, both of which are
very rare for this price range. In addition to being light, strong
and unwavering during fish fights, the Shimano Grappler
Type J B538 Overhead Jigging Rod is equipped with
double-footed MN guides and metal gimbals. This makes it an
excellent rod for targeting big game fish.

Spiral X
Spiral X Construction consists of 3 layers – a blank made of
vertical fibres, 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 fibre 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 will definitely enhance your catching power!

Hi-Power X
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.
