The overall performance of "cast, operation, and
fight" has been improved! Type C pursues the real pleasure of casting
games.
As a world-class offshore standard rod, a grappler that has
been trained against the world's major players. The type C, which pursues the
real pleasure of casting games, adopts Spiral X and High Power X for blanks,
and is designed to be a medium-repulsive action that can be said to be the
middle of Shimano casting rods. Supports stable casting games with excellent
overall balance of cast, lure operation, and fight. In addition, the effect of
the optimized guide system also suppresses line trouble. This renewed work has
a lineup that covers the power games of big opponents, while maintaining the L
and ML power. We thoroughly reduce the design around the blanks and parts, and
play an active role in technical and exciting light casting games.
Technical and Strong! An unrivalled offshore standard rod
with an unrivalled lineup that has been trained against the world.
The grappler is a world-class standard rod dedicated to
anglers who challenge various offshore games. The lineup consists of five
types: jigging, slow jigging, light jigging, super light jigging, and casting.
All the items required for each game are covered. Advanced technology derived
from a number of tests is adopted for each type and all items, and at the same
time, it thoroughly pursues strength and durability at the same time as light
response. The characteristics that cover a wide range of scenes with total
performance of "operability, response, and strength" required for
offshore games, not limited to specific fields and targets, are exactly the
global standard. The precise operability polished by technical games in Japan,
the power that can be used in overseas fields, and durability. The specs with
immense underlying power demonstrate high performance that breaks the concept
of the middle class in every scene.
The overall performance of throwing, manipulating, and
catching is the evolution of the royal road!
The characteristic of the grappler type C that develops as a
global offshore rod is the tone of the medium-repulsion system located in the
middle of the Shimano casting rod. The basic structure spiral X, which is both
light and strong, and the blanks equipped with a reinforced structure that
increases the rigidity of the screw and suppresses shaking and power loss, has
an excellent overall balance of throwing, steering, and catching, and
demonstrates high performance thanks to the exquisite soft tips that are easy
to operate plugs. This work, which has evolved the royal road, is further
refining such performance.
Light casting model that pursues thorough weight
reduction is introduced.
The four models of S70L, S80L, S76ML, and S80ML, which are
aimed at light casting, are thoroughly lightweight, not only blanks but also
all the designs around the parts. Pursue lightening from all angles, led by the
reel seat of the newly installed reinforced carbon material CI4+. 24The light
specs that inherit the Osia Plagger light concept produce a technical and
exciting game. We also support good fish over 10kg, such as yellowtail,
hiramasa, and kihada, as representatives of bonito, shiira and sauerkraut.
Guide grip arrangement to transmit the power of the
angler to the maximum.
Pursue the latest and optimal placement to the details such
as guides and grips. The guide setting pushes the balance and further
suppresses line trouble. In particular, the tip entangle is drastically reduced
by filling the interval of the tip guide. The grip and reel seat position are
also updated to ensure the angler's motion is maximized. In addition, the MH to
XH model adopts a new V-hold grip. The cross-section is shaped in a V shape to
improve the grip power when gripped. Supports a stable power fight.
Thoughts put in the grappler ~
As a next-generation global standard, the Grappler series
was developed with a view to big fish not only in Japan but also overseas. We
have introduced advanced technology that is as good as high-end models, and
have been specially designed according to each type to achieve performance that
allows you to comfortably enjoy the desired fishing. Even so, the Shimano
development team's desire to enjoy individual fishing more with special tackles
in offshore games that evolve into a wide variety of offshore games, including
the pricing and rich lineup that are particular about the middle class.
The current situation of the offshore scene changes rapidly
even in the fishing of the day, and it is required to bring multiple tackles to
the ship. If you think about it throughout the season, you will need more
items. One fact is that for those who challenge the world of offshore fishing,
there is a heavy burden of having to prepare a lot of tackles. In addition, the
budget hurdles will be further raised when special tackles are arranged for
each genre, but with the grappler series with excellent cost performance, it is
possible to get a high-quality rod with high expertise without losing the
quality of the tackle.
If you say it without fear of misunderstanding, it is
definitely better to have multiple grapplers than to choose only one expensive
higher-level model by overburdening the budget, and the range of fishing will
definitely expand, and the future possibilities as an offshore angler will
increase. Working on cross-linking games at the same time, such as jigging,
slow jigging, and casting, dramatically increases your fishing experience, and
the skills you gain there are accumulated in the angler's drawer in sync with
other fishing. If you really want to enjoy offshore, I would like you to have a
grappler. With the well-honed world-class specifications, rich and dense
offshore games for you.
Impressions Impressions
The perfection of the ite kodori that can not be defeated
by the upper model. It is also attractive that it is not too sharp.
The impression that I actually used this rod is that the
good swinging stands out. The blanks with Spiral X and High Power X are
powerful and have no blurring, and there is no element that makes you feel
anxious even if you cast a large lure as much as you want. Moreover, the cast
accuracy is so good that it is decided that it is decided to be a
bashibashiashi to the target place, and to put it in an exaggerated manner, it
is a finish that seems to be enough even if there is no upper model. As for the
weight, the balance of the state with the reels set is good, so it does not
hold it and feels lighter than the actual weight. Even long hours of cast are
hard to get tired. The blanks are tough and delicate, the tip has a flexible
that can be pulled finely while being tight, and the bat is sticky and
powerful. Because it is too hard, it is not put on the strong pull of the fish.
In the test, I also took a 23kg Hiramasa, but I was able to lift the drag
without giving out a millimeter and get it. The high degree of perfection that
is not inferior to the rod of the high price range is still the same, but I
think that the charm of this rod is that the individuality is not too sharp. It
is a rod that I would like people who seriously aim for big things, as well as
those who challenge big games from now on, to use it by all means.
CI4+ Reel Seat (L, ML Power)
The L and ML power items are equipped with lightweight,
high-strength carbon material CI4 + reel seat. The shape with few steps and
easy to grip creates a light feeling.
Fuji DPS Sheet + Lock Nut (MH~XH Power)
V hold grip (MH to XH power)
The front grip is made into a V-shaped cross-section to
increase the grip power when gripped. It reduces the load in power fights and
can be responded with a sense of stability.
Rubber Ginbal (MH~XH Power)
For models with MH power or higher, high-durable rubber
gibber, assuming a fight with a large fish using gimbar Belt is adopted.
Spiral X
Overcome the screw and crushing and increase the rod
performance from the root.
Spiral X has a three-layer structure in which the inner and
outer layers of the rod vertical fiber are tightly wound with carbon tape in
the opposite direction and diagonally. The oblique fibers inside and outside
can achieve high screw stiffness and crushing rigidity while maintaining
lightness. It is Shimano's unique "basic structure" that improves
instantaneous power transmission in fishing movements such as cast and fights,
maintains lightness and increases "land force for catching".
High Power X
A reinforced structure that further suppresses the screw
reflexes that occur during casting and fighting. It is characterized by
tightening the carbon tape in an X shape from the outermost layer of Spiral X
or from the top of the vertical and horizontal intersection structure of the
carbon sheet. This ensures that the bends of the rods retain the angler's
intended direction, and the original performance of the blanks is
fully demonstrated.
CI4+
CI4+ is a further evolution of Shimano's unique material C14
reinforced by carbon fiber. It is characterized by being lighter and has higher
strength than conventional resins.
