Shimano 25 Grappler Type C Spin Rods

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.

Product Description

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. Features
  • Spiral X blank construction for enhanced compression strength and reduced blank twist
  • Hi-Power X technology for sharper rod response and increased casting accuracy
  • CI4+ material used in reel seat and components for superior lightness and strength
  • Fast recovery speed minimises tip wobble and maximises casting distance
  • Designed for heavy-duty casting with lures like stickbaits, poppers, and metals
  • Ideal for targeting tuna, GTs, kingfish, mackerel, and other pelagics
  • Lightweight design reduces fatigue during long casting sessions
  • Built for all saltwater conditions — from calm bays to offshore swells
