What the "+" Provides

• Extra Lifting Power: A Medium+ (M+) rod will have more pulling power than a standard Medium, making it better for horsing fish out of cover, but it won't be as stiff as a true Heavy rod.

• Wider Lure Range: These rods are often designed to handle a slightly broader range of lure weights, allowing you to throw heavier baits without overloading the blank.

• Specific Technique Tuning: For example, the 7'0" Light+ (L+) is designed to provide the finesse of a light rod for detecting bites, but with the extra "oomph" needed to set the hook firmly in deeper water or heavier current.

Premium Performance Meets Featherweight Design

Revolutionize your offshore game with the Jackall Counter Back Sliding Spoon, a breakthrough in big spoon technology developed in collaboration with BASS Elite Series pro Kyoya Fujita. While traditional spoons rely on a horizontal flutter, Jackall’s research revealed that trophy bass overwhelmingly prefer a backslide motion. This spoon is engineered to deliver a swift, consistent backwards glide that mimics a dying baitfish fleeing toward the bottom—triggering violent reaction strikes from fish that have seen it all.

Constructed with an asymmetrical body and a strategically balanced blade thickness, the Counter Back achieves a spontaneous "glide back" even on a completely slack line. This over-three-year design process ensures the bait maintains an exquisite angle as it descends, making it a "secret weapon" for targeting pressured fish in deep-water structures or suspended schools.

Key Performance Features:

• Backslide "No Flutter" Action: Designed specifically to eliminate the standard horizontal flutter in favor of a seductive, natural backwards glide.

• Asymmetrical Precision: The unique body shape and blade cup produce a clean roll and angled descent, perfectly imitating a freshly dead shad or bluegill.

• Premium Hardware: Equipped with a high-quality ball-bearing swivel to eliminate line twist and a feathered/tinsel treble hook for added secondary attraction.

• Two-Sided Natural Finish: Painted on both sides with brilliant, natural color patterns to reduce excessive flash and provide a more realistic baitfish appearance in clear water.

• Targeted Efficiency: Optimized fall speed that is fast enough to trigger a reaction but slow enough for predators to track and inhale.

Product Specifications:

• Length: 4.7 inches (120mm)

• Weight: 1.3 oz (38g)

• Hook: Feathered/Tinsel Treble Hook

• Rigging: Integrated Ball-Bearing Swivel

The Shimano Gravitator 220SS Glidebait is Shimano's groundbreaking entry into the big-bass glide bait category for 2025, delivering next-level performance, unmatched casting distance, and customizable action in an affordable, high-tech package. Measuring 8 2/3 inches (220mm) and weighing 3 3/8 oz (95g), this slow-sinking glide bait is engineered to mimic large, vulnerable forage while covering water efficiently and triggering explosive strikes from trophy largemouth and smallmouth.

At the core is Shimano's innovative ARMABOOST technology — a revolutionary folding mechanism that collapses the lure's double-jointed body into a more aerodynamic profile during the cast. This slashes air resistance, boosts flight distance by up to 35%, and minimizes unwanted spinning for laser-accurate, long-distance presentations that reach distant structure, weed edges, or schooling fish without sacrificing control.

Key performance features include:

• Action Modifying Insert — A removable insert lets you dial in the action on the fly: insert it for a wider, broader glide with sweeping side-to-side sweeps ideal for open water or cold fronts; remove it for a tighter, choppier wiggle that excels in pressured scenarios or when bass want a more aggressive darting motion.
• FLASH BOOST (select colors) — Internally suspended foil creates a flashing secondary action that continues even on the pause, drawing follows into committed blows.
• SCALE BOOST (select colors) — Realistic 3D holographic scaling enhances visual appeal and imitation of real baitfish.
• Dual line tie options — Tie to the lower eye for a subsurface glide or the upper for a near-surface walk-and-pause presentation that mimics a dying shad on top.
• Premium hardware — Equipped with sticky-sharp treble hooks and additional interchangeable tails for fine-tuning action from subtle to aggressive.
• Slow-sinking design — Suspends perfectly in the strike zone, allowing long pauses that provoke reaction strikes from following or suspended bass.

This versatile glide bait shines in big-bait scenarios: slow-rolling over grass flats, working points and ledges in fall or spring, targeting post-spawn giants, or burning it for reaction bites in warmer water. Part of Shimano's complete Big Bass System, it pairs seamlessly with heavy swimbait rods, high-capacity reels, and 20-30 lb fluorocarbon or braid setups.

Available in tempting colors that imitate shad, perch, trout, and more, the Gravitator 220SS brings premium Japanese engineering and customization to glide bait fishing without the premium price tag. Whether you're new to big baits or a seasoned swimbait angler, this lure redefines what's possible — longer casts, tunable action, and big bites in one game-changing package.

Dominate the big-bass game with the Shimano Gravitator 220SS Glidebait — innovation that turns average days into trophy hunts.

Dominate the surface game with Shimano Grappler Type C Spinning Popping Rods—where power meets precision.

The Shimano Grappler Type LJ Conventional Jigging Rods are purpose-engineered for the demanding world of light jigging, delivering exceptional sensitivity, precise jig control, and the power to handle aggressive strikes from deep-dwelling predators. Built with Shimano's advanced Spiral X Core and Hi-Power X blank technology, these specialized rods provide the perfect balance of responsiveness and backbone needed to work lighter jigs in depths from 100 to 600 feet with surgical precision.

Advanced Blank Technology

• Spiral X Core Construction: Triple-layer carbon fiber architecture eliminates blank twist and maximizes energy transmission for superior jig manipulation and instant hooksets
• Hi-Power X Reinforcement: Strategic X-wrap carbon tape in high-stress zones prevents blank deformation and increases lifting power without adding weight
• High-Modulus Graphite: Ultra-responsive blank telegraphs every bottom contact, jig flutter, and subtle bite with crystal clarity
• Fast-Taper Design: Responsive tip section loads quickly for precise jig control while the powerful butt provides the backbone to turn fish away from structure

Premium Components for Vertical Performance

• Fuji Titanium SiC Guides: Lightweight, ultra-smooth inserts reduce line friction and handle the rigors of constant vertical jigging
• Fuji Reel Seat: Low-profile design with cushioned hoods ensures secure reel mounting and reduces overall weight
• EVA Fore Grip: Ergonomic design provides superior control during aggressive jigging cadences
• Optimized Guide Layout: Precisely positioned guides maintain perfect line angle for vertical presentations and reduce fatigue

Built for Light Jigging Excellence

Whether you're targeting rockfish and lingcod on deep reefs, working jigs for snapper and grouper on offshore structure, or pursuing yellowtail and amberjack on vertical wrecks, the Grappler Type LJ delivers the performance serious jigging anglers demand. The sensitive tip section lets you feel every nuance of your jig's action and detect the lightest bites, while the powerful mid-section and butt provide the leverage to drive hooks home and control the fight in deep water.

Type LJ Conventional Advantage

The Type LJ conventional configuration is specifically optimized for light jigging techniques: superior line control for precise depth management, instant drag adjustment during powerful runs, and the ergonomic advantage of overhead jigging with conventional reels. The balanced design reduces wrist and forearm fatigue during extended jigging sessions, letting you maintain optimal jig action and stay in the strike zone longer.

Why Vertical Specialists Choose Grappler LJ

Professional captains and dedicated jigging enthusiasts trust the Grappler Type LJ because it excels at the subtle art of vertical presentation. The ultra-sensitive blank provides instant feedback on bottom composition, jig action, and fish contact, giving you the information needed to adjust your technique in real-time. The responsive taper loads smoothly through the blank, protecting light leaders while still delivering the power to muscle trophy fish away from structure and up through the water column.

Experience the precision and control that separates good jigging anglers from great ones. The Shimano Grappler Type LJ isn't just a jigging rod—it's a finely tuned instrument designed to help you master the vertical game.
