Shimano Grappler 300HG Slow Jig Reel

The Shimano Grappler 300HG is direct to New Zealand fishers from the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) catalogue and was hand-picked for its perfect fit for our inshore metal jig fisheries.

At the heart of the Shimano Grappler's features are X-Ship for enhanced cranking power, Hagane Body meaning a strong and more rigid frame, S3D to reduced side-to-side spool wobble when casting and an impressive 6.2:1 retrieval meaning less time winding up and more time fishing.

Shimano Grappler 300HG Slow Jig Reel Features:

• HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.
• The MicroModule Gear technology creates a smooth retrieve by utilizing smaller teeth to increase the number of contact points between the drive gear and pinion gear.
• X SHIP provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This increased support allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. X-Ship technology also eliminates the friction between the spool shaft and gear to further benefit anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.
• The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power,
