Shimano Grappler Type J Full Bend B60-4 Jigging Rod
The Shimano Grappler Type J Full Bend B60-4 is a powerful 6ft jigging rod designed for anglers targeting larger saltwater species. The B60-4 is rated for jigs up to 330g, PE3 line and a maximum drag of 6kg, making it a step up in power from the B60-3. Shimano specifically positions the B60-4 for targeting yellowfin tuna, while also being suitable for large bluefish.
The Full Bend design allows the blank to load deeply and progressively under pressure, helping maintain consistent pressure on hard-fighting fish while providing a smooth jigging action. The rod uses Shimano's TAFTEC INFINITY construction combined with a lightweight carbon outer layer.

Full Bend Action:
The Full Bend design allows the rod to flex progressively through the blank rather than concentrating the load in the tip. This helps maintain pressure on fish during the fight while allowing the rod to absorb sudden movements. Shimano's construction is designed to combine this smooth bending action with the strength required for heavier jigging.
TAFTEC INFINITY Technology:
The TAFTEC INFINITY construction uses a high-strength solid carbon structure designed to provide strength and sensitivity. Shimano states that TAFTEC INFINITY achieves three times the winding strength and five times the winding amount of its conventional solid tips.
