Shimano - Reel Grappler BB

The Grappler BB is a specialised reel designed for light saltwater jigging, which can also be used in deep freshwater situations. Ultra lightweight, and more compact than traditional jigging reels, the Grappler has longer handles for increased winding torque, round hand grips and an adjustable SVS braking system to prevent overruns. <br>If you like to vertically jig with light and medium lures, using lightweight rods, you will quickly appreciate the unique features of the Grappler BB. Weighing in at only 185g, it balances modern lightweight jigging rods like the Grappler BB range perfectly, creating a super light combination that reduces fatigue during long sessions. Compared to traditional, heavier round reel alternatives, the Grappler BB is a dream to use and noticeably enhances your jigging technique and enjoyment. <br>The lightness of the Grappler BB comes from the use of Shimano’s exclusive Ci4+ composite material for the body. This is much stronger than cheaper alternatives and also has the advantage of being corrosion resistant. In use you’ll appreciate the round EVA finger grips on the longer than normal handle. This combination increases comfort and also maximises jigging control. The Grappler BB also has a SVS braking system, as well as a Super Free Spool facility, so if you see fish moving at distance you can use it like a traditional baitcasting reel to cast your jig at showing fish.
