<p>The Shimano 25 Grappler Type Slow J is a rod designed for anglers who practice slow jigging with a technical and targeted approach. Its structure is optimized to provide maximum sensitivity during the jig's descent and total control during jerking and retrieval, while maintaining enough power to handle larger prey. The blank, built with Shimano's exclusive <strong>Spiral X</strong> and <strong>Hi-Power X</strong> technologies, ensures high torsional rigidity, reducing lateral deformation during the most demanding phases. This technological combination allows for an extremely responsive action and precise jig control, especially with jigs weighing between 200 and 330 grams.&nbsp;The 6'6" (198 cm) length is the result of careful design to balance power and comfort, facilitating quick maneuvers and reducing fatigue, even during extended fishing sessions. The moderate action with a semi-rigid tip generates controlled vibration that enhances the jig's natural movement, perfectly mimicking the behavior of an injured baitfish.&nbsp;The rod is equipped with high-end <strong>Fuji components</strong>, including <strong>K-Type guides with Alconite inserts</strong>, a <strong>SiC tip-top</strong>, and a <strong>Fuji reel seat</strong>, ensuring reliability even in extreme conditions. The ergonomic EVA grip, easily detachable, ensures a solid and comfortable hold.&nbsp;The 25 Grappler Type Slow J is more than just a jigging rod&mdash;it's a precision tool designed to excel in every detail. Ideal for those who approach deep-water technical fishing with method and passion, it offers the perfect blend of control, lightness, and power.</p>
