Supreme casting performance
A Shimano rod and reel combo that fits your budget just right, the
Shimano SLX 150 HG and Grappler Type J B631 Light Jig
Combo is great for light jigging.
The Reel
Inside the Shimano SLX 150 HG Baitcast Reel Hagane
Body, brass gearing delivers reliable cranking power and three SUS
bearings and one roller bearing means everything turns smoothly.
The reel incorporates a compact design, however the reel has the
same line capacity as Shimano’s standard 150 sized reels, fitting
150m of 20lb Power Pro. A longer 45mm Throw Handle working in
conjunction with two model options featuring gear ratios of 7.2:1
means that the slow and methodical lure worker and the angler who
likes a bit of speed are well covered by the new SLX. On top of
this, the Shimano SLX 150 HG Baitcast Reel‘s max
drag settings of 5kg provide some amazing stopping power should it
be needed!
VBS
VBS uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid controlling
the cast. The individual brake weights when turned on are forced
outward at the beginning of the cast when backlashes most often
occu, causing friction that reducxes the speed of the spool. Once
the spool speed begins to slow, the pressure lessens, allowing the
spool to continue spinning. The result is a much more consistent
spool speed that is easier t manage and takes advantage of the
reel’s maximumb casting distance.
Hagane Body
The Hagane Body is produced from high rigidity aluminium or
magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at
the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rock
solid housing and support of the moving internal gearing and
greater efficiency throughout the reel.
The Rod
The Shimano Grappler Type J B631 Light Jig Overhead
Rod is sure to help you tackle your most powerful ocean
foes. Representing the next evolution of this highly popular
offshore jigging series. It features both Spiral X and Hi-Power X
blank construction, and has been tested in the harshest of offshore
environments around the world. Spiral X and Hi-Power X increase the
strength to twisting and reduces power loss during jerking and
fighting. Rod action is versatile to adapt to different jigging
rhythms. Enjoy a better fishing experience with the Shimano
Grappler Type J B631 Overhead Rod’s power, response and
control.
Spiral X
Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a blank made of
vertical fibres, an inner layer and an outer layer, both comprising
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 for fighting
fish. Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano’s Spiral
X construction enhances 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, H-Power X construction
delivers sharp and crisp rod control.
