SHIMANO 19 GRAPPLER TYPE C

Shimano

Shimano S.T.C. Monster are a series of travel rods made for spinning fishing for very big fish. Your partner in crime when you want to fish for the monsters in the fresh or salt, but still being able to fit in your suitcase. The 240cm is perfect for casting big lures, like big stickbaits, poppers or crankbaits when fishing from the boat. The 315cm version is also great for casting lures from the banks, but also the ultimate travel rod for fishing with e.g. a big chunk of fish when targeting ray or sharks when being on holiday in a tropical country where these monsters are cruising close to the beach. The rods have a full EVA handle and a grip large enough to control the rod very well when fighting a big fish.

The NASCI range of spinning rods takes inspiration from the Nasci reel, with sober elegance combined with unquestionable functionality. The satin gray carbon blanks are light and responsive, with a power reserve due to the application of Biofibre and a further reduction in torsion thanks to Diaflash carbon wraps on the butt section. Available with fast and moderate action cork or EVA split handles, the custom designed reel seats are miniature works of art, combining metal, carbon and composite to produce an ultra thin and extremely solid reel connection. In use, all models ensure long and precise casts, worthy of high-end rods and are characterized by specific actions for each lure. Twist reduction, power and tip feel complete this range of exceptional tools.
