Entice hungry Snapper into smashing your lure
Thinking of putting together the perfect inshore fishing set up?
The Shimano Trinidad 12 A Grappler Slow Jig Combo
is a great option. This combo comes with the versatile Trinidad
reel – ideal for slow/micro jigging. It’s paired up with the
Grappler rod which features top quality components that will stand
the heat of battle.
The Reel
Designed to excel at inshore and bluewater applications alike – the
Shimano Trinidad 12 A Jigging Reel is unbelievably
compact but has all the latest Shimano technologies included. The
ultra light weight cold-forged aluminium Magnumlite spool and
one-piece side plate and frame feature Electronic Ionisation (EI)
surface treatment plus chrome-plated screws for the kind of extreme
corrosion protection you need in the saltwater environment. The
Trinidad A is rated for mono, fluoro and braided lines.
Aluminium Cold Forged Spool
These spools provide strength and durability over diecast aluminium
or graphite spools.
E.I. Anti-Corrosion Surface Treatment
After the adonisation process is finished, a second layer of
surface treatment is added. This treatment is forced into the
remaining surface impurities. This gives salt no hideout and also
results in an extremely smooth-to-the-touch finish. A reel with
E.I. treatment has more than double the corrosion resistance of a
standard anodised reel.
Super Stopper
Super Stopper uses a one-way bearing that eliminates backplay. This
provides the angler with instant hooksetting power.
X-Ship
By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with the S-ARB bearings
and integrating bigger drive gear, Shimano increased the gearing
efficiency and power. This results in a fishing reel with
ultra-light handle rotation; less effort and power giving a perfect
rotation even under heavy loads.
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.
