Evolution of the overall performance of "casting, operating, and fighting"! TYPE C pursues the real pleasure of casting game.
As the world's standard for offshore standard rods, GRAPPLER is forged to take on the world's big fish. TYPE C, which pursues the real pleasure of casting game, adopts SPIRAL X and HI-POWER X for the blanks, and is designed for a medium rebound action that can be called right in the middle of SHIMANO's casting rods. Excellent overall balance of casting, lure operation, and fighting, supporting stable casting games. Also, in combination with the effect of the optimized guide system, it suppresses line trouble. The renewed model keeps the same lineup that covers power game against big game fish, and also enriched the L and ML power. The design of the blanks and parts has been thoroughly reduced in weight, making it ideal for technical and exciting light casting games.
CI4+ reel seat (L and ML power)
L and ML power items are equipped with lightweight and high-strength carbon material CI4+ reel seat.
The easy-to-grip shape with few bumps creates a light feeling.
Fuji DPS seat + lock nut (MH to XH power)
V-hold grip (MH to XH power)
Adopts a front shape with a V-shaped cross-section of the front grip to enhance grip force when held. This reduces the load during power fights and provides a sense of stability.
SPIRAL X
Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's patented Spiral X construction enhances catching power for anglers. Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a middle layer of vertical fibers as well as inner and outer layers, 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 fiber sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced compression rigidity and increased torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fish fighting.
Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally-wrapped carbon tape to form an array of "X" shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. 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. This manufacturing process 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 for the angler.
C14 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original C14 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies, rotors and reel seats built with CI4+ are further reduced in size and weight.
