Shimano's Grappler Premium 151XG is a baitcasting reel with a digital line counter, designed for Light Jigging and Slow Jigging, offering maximum precision and control in vertical fishing techniques. Thanks to its 8.1:1 gear ratio and a retrieve of approximately 81 cm per handle turn, it delivers excellent speed and responsiveness, adapting to different fishing styles and target species. The compact and lightweight body (approx. 240 g) improves handling and comfort, while Shimano technologies such as HAGANE Body, X-Ship and Micromodule Gear ensure strength, smoothness, and efficient power transmission. The backlit digital counter with fall speed indication allows precise control of depth and jig action. The introduction of the new Fall Lever and the retrieve distance alarm enables a highly technical fishing approach, improving strike repeatability. The 60 mm power handle with a CI4+ round knob provides strength and stability even when fighting larger fish, making it a highly versatile and high-performance reel for demanding offshore situations.
NEW FALL LEVER WITH ONE-WAY BEARING
An advanced system that allows precise control of the lure’s descent speed by adjusting spool tension. Thanks to the one-way bearing, activating the lever does not affect retrieve smoothness, keeping handle rotation light even under load. It ensures consistent and repeatable fall control, essential for managing jig action and replicating strike patterns.
POWER HANDLE AND CI4+ ROUND KNOB
The cold-forged 60 mm handle increases leverage, improving power transmission and torque during retrieve. The CI4+ round knob provides a secure and comfortable grip even under heavy load, allowing stable and powerful retrieves when fighting large fish or using heavy jigs.
RETRIEVE DISTANCE ALARM
An electronic function linked to the counter that measures the amount of line retrieved from the starting depth and signals it through audible alerts. It allows anglers to track retrieve distance without looking at the display, improving focus and precision when targeting the strike zone. Ideal for following exact fishing instructions and maintaining a consistent presentation.
SYNCHRONIZED LEVEL WIND
A structure where the spool and level wind move in sync, ensuring a straight line release and a smooth, friction-free lure descent. During the fight, the drag operates smoothly and progressively, providing reliability even when using thin lines.
