Superior strength and reliability

The Shimano SpeedMaster LD 12 Grappler Type J 2-Speed Jigging
Combo is perfect for saltwater anglers who want a
heavy-duty rod and reel combo. The fast acting Grappler Type J Rod
complements the ultra strong and smooth SpeedMaster reel. Perfect
for the demanding fisho who needs a jigging combo that can keep
up!

The Reel
The new Shimano SpeedMaster LD II 12 2-Speed Overhead
Reel has all the capabilities of the Talica II 2-Speed
reel, without the premium price tag. The SpeedMaster LD II looks
and feels tough and is built as a powerhouse reel, capable of
tacking many tasks. If you need a reel that’s capable of dropping
livebaits for big Kings, can swing a jig and then switch to ledger
rig fishing. Then the SpeedMaster LD could be what you’re looking
for.

2 Speed Gearing
This mechanism is designed so that gear changes are quick and easy,
even when fighting a fish. The low gear ratio used for high-power
retrieves is selected by pushing the button on the base of the
handle. Return to the high-speed ratio by sliding the release
button along the handle shank. By using two sets of gears, the
drive and pinion gears are always engaged. There is no gear meshing
during the shift.

Anti-Rust Bearings
A-RB are made of stainless steel that has been through the A-RB
process. At least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard
stainless steel ball bearings. Easy maintenance no-shield design
allows for easy flushing of debris and easy lubrication. Increased
bearing speed-no shield design and lighter viscosity lubrication
reduce friction and allow the bearing to spin faster and
longer.

HAGANE Body
Hagane Body means this reel has a high rigidity and zero twist. The
body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body
flexing. The result transforms the anglers actions directly into
cranking power. It’s efficiency through strength.

The Rod
The Shimano Grappler Type J B538 Overhead Jigging
Rod features awesome newly designed blanks packed with
high-end features like Spiral X and Hi-Power X, both of which are
very rare for this price range. In addition to being light, strong
and unwavering during fish fights, the Shimano Grappler
Type J B538 Overhead Jigging Rod is equipped with
double-footed MN guides and metal gimbals. This makes it an
excellent rod for targeting big game fish.

Spiral X
Spiral X Construction consists of 3 layers – a blank made of
vertical fibres, an inner layer, and an outer layer, both comprised
of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite
directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional
horizontal fibre sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced torsional
rigidity without adding extra weight. This, in turn, facilitates
instant power transmission for precise casting and fighting fish.
Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano’s Spiral X
construction will definitely enhance your catching power!

Hi-Power X
In Hi-Power X construction, the blank’s outermost layer is
diagonally wrapped with carbon tape which forms an array of “”X””
shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle, and the part of
the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish
species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps
during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength
and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction
delivers sharp and crisp rod control.
