Shimano 2025 Grappler Type C Casting Rods

Shimano 2025 Grappler Type C Casting Rods are built for anglers seeking unparalleled performance with topwater and subsurface lures. Fully redesigned for 2025, these rods leverage Shimano’s advanced technologies and innovative blank design to provide exceptional versatility. Whether you’re chasing boiling tuna offshore or targeting aggressive predators in the upper water column, the Grappler Type C delivers the performance needed to succeed.

Spiral X and Hi-Power X Technologies

At the core of the Grappler Type C series are Shimano’s Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank technologies. These innovations enhance the rod’s compressional and torsional rigidity, reducing blank twist for more accurate casting and greater power. This advanced construction not only increases catching power but also maintains a lightweight feel, allowing anglers to fish comfortably all day.

V-Hold Grip for Comfort and Control

Shimano integrates the V-Hold front grip design into the Grappler Type C rods to enhance stability and comfort during intense battles. This ergonomic grip ensures better control and reduces fatigue, giving anglers the confidence to handle hard-charging game fish with ease.

Premium Components for Maximum Performance

Equipped with Fuji Alconite guides, the Grappler Type C rods provide excellent line management and durability, ensuring smooth casting and retrieval. The DPS reel seat adds to the rod’s reliability, securely holding the reel in place even during the most demanding fights. The high-quality EVA grips further enhance the rod’s usability, offering a comfortable and durable handle for long sessions on the water.

Versatile Models for Every Angler

The Grappler Type C series includes a range of models to suit different fishing styles and target species. From the 7’7” Medium Power rod designed for lighter lures to the 8’2” Extra Heavy Power rod capable of handling up to 100-pound braid and 7-ounce lures, there’s a rod for every situation. The moderate-fast action across the lineup ensures versatility and precise control in various casting applications.

Perfect for Topwater and Subsurface Techniques
