Shimano 25 Grappler Type C – The evolution of offshore spinning. Built to meet the toughest demands of saltwater game fishing, the Shimano 25 Grappler Type C is a high-performance offshore spinning rod engineered for long-range casting, lure action control, and heavy-duty fish fighting. The carbon blank reinforced with Spiral X and Hi-Power X technology delivers exceptional torsional rigidity for precise power transfer and unmatched responsiveness. With its moderate/progressive action, this rod is optimized for stickbait and topwater lure presentations, allowing smooth, long casts and accurate control even in windy or choppy conditions. The sensitive tip and responsive backbone work together to create a well-balanced load curve, ideal for handling fast, powerful runs from pelagic species. Equipped with Fuji K-Type Alconite guides and a Fuji SiC tip, the rod features a refined guide layout that enhances casting performance and minimizes tangles, especially thanks to the tight spacing near the tip. A sturdy Fuji DPS reel seat ensures a firm connection with a wide range of reel sizes, while the shaped EVA grip offers comfort and control during extended battles. The Grappler Type C is the go-to choice for anglers seeking a balanced, powerful, and highly responsive spinning rod tailored for serious offshore challenges.
