Solidly built and packed with muscle where it counts

The Shimano Torium 16PG and Grappler Type J B566 Jigging Combo is one tough combo that strikes the perfect balance between quality and value. It comes with the new Shimano Grappler Type J B566 Overhead Jigging Rod that’s loaded with power. Team it up with the uber-smooth and feature-packed Shimano Torium 16PG overhead reel and you get a combination that will land you your next big catch.

The Reel
The lightweight Shimano Torium 16PG Overhead Reel is a solidly-built star-drag saltwater reel perfect for live bait or bottom-fishing applications. It’s packed with features like Super Stopper, Cross Carbon Drag, Anti Rust Bearings and High Efficiency Gearing.

Hagane Body
The incorporation of Hagane Body provides this reel with a rigid yet highly durable outer shell that is free from body flexing, this transforms the angler’s actions directly into cranking power when under load.

A-RB
These stainless steel ball bearings are specially treated to drastically increase the corrosion resistance of the bearing. These bearings will last at least 10 times longer than standard stainless steel ball bearings in high salinity environments.

Super Stopper
Super Stopper anti-reverse uses a one-way stainless steel roller bearing that eliminates back-play. This provides the angler with instant hook-setting power.

CF Aluminium Cold Forged Spool
These spools provide increased strength and durability over diecast aluminium or graphite spools.

High Efficiency Gearing
HEG consists of not only the gears, but also the frame, setplate, and handle-side sideplate. First we increased the size of the drive gear and the pinion gear to offer increased leverage and power. By using a one-piece frame that incorporates the setplate and adding a one-piece stamped sideplate, it eliminates the flex in the drive train that causes gears to bind under pressure.

The Rod
The Shimano Grappler Type J B566 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 stable during fish fights, the Shimano Grappler Type J B566 Overhead Rod is equipped with double-footed MN guides and rubber 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!

H-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.
