The Shimano 25 Grappler Type C Spin Rod is purpose-built for saltwater anglers who demand extreme casting performance, rod control, and all-day comfort. Designed with Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank technologies, this high-performance rod delivers superior casting distance, tip stability, and precision — even in rough offshore conditions.

Type C Grapplers are fine-tuned for long-distance lure fishing, with reduced tip bounce and faster blank recovery that make every cast count. Whether you’re launching stickbaits at surface-feeding tuna or working soft plastics across reef edges, this rod provides the power, speed, and sensitivity needed to fish confidently in tough environments.

Despite its casting strength, the rod remains lightweight thanks to Shimano’s CI4+ construction, reducing angler fatigue over long sessions. The Grappler Type C doesn’t just cast far — it brings serious fish-handling muscle, making it ideal for battling kingfish, mackerel, GTs, and other heavy-hitting predators.

FAQs
Q: What makes the Grappler Type C different from other Grappler rods?
The Type C series is specifically engineered for distance casting with lures, whereas other models focus on jigging or vertical presentation. The fast recovery speed and reduced tip wobble improve lure accuracy and control.

Q: Is the Grappler Type C suitable for boat or land-based fishing?
Both. While designed with offshore casting in mind, the rod performs exceptionally well from boats, headlands, or surf beaches when chasing pelagic species.

Q: What lures work best with the Type C?
Stickbaits, poppers, metal jigs, and soft plastics. This rod is designed to handle a wide variety of lure styles for pelagic and reef species.

Q: Can I use braid with this rod?
Yes – the blank and guides are designed to pair perfectly with braided lines for increased sensitivity and casting distance.
