The heavier models feature an integrated gimbal for battling fish with fighting belts. Additionally, the Grappler A series showcases four new Type Slow J rods for slow-pitch jigging, four Light Jigging models for inshore and nearshore use, and 5 Casting models that are ideal for topwater action or day-to-day fishing applications.
