Shimano Grappler 300HG And Type J B684 Slow Jig Combo 6’8” PE3 2pc

Bigger, better, bolder

The Shimano Grappler 300HG and Type J B684 Slow Jig
Combo is specially designed to handle the rigours of
modern slow jigging. The Shimano Grappler 300HG reel’s components
ensure superior casting while the new Grappler rod takes comfort
and performance to a whole new level.

The Reel
The Shimano Grappler 300HG Baitcaster Reel is now
available in New Zealand fresh from the JDM (Japanese Domestic
Market) catalogue. It’s hand-picked specifically for inshore metal
jigging.

At the heart of the Shimano Grappler’s features are X-Ship for
enhanced cranking power, Hagane Body for a strong and more rigid
frame, S3D to reduced side-to-side spool wobble when casting and an
impressive 6.2:1 retrieval meaning less time winding up and more
time fishing.

The Rod
The Shimano Grappler Type J B684 Slow Jig Overhead
Rod is 6’8” long – a specific length designed for the
taper of the rod to work its magic on the jig. The sensitive tip on
the rod allows for good line tension control to cater to changing
fishing conditions. And what’s more it features both Spiral X and
Hi-Power X blank construction for increased strength and less power
loss during jerking and fighting.

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, Hi-Power X construction
delivers sharp and crisp rod control.
