Fall Lever has been significantly updated “24 Grappler Premium” thorough explanation

2024-04-16

Shimano's newly launched "24 Grappler Premium" is a high-performance and stylish baitcasting reel with a built-in counter.

It now features a new "Fall Lever" and "Reeling Distance Alarm," strategically supporting light jigging, and significantly lighter than the previous model.

In this article, we will introduce the "24 Grappler Premium," highlighting its features, technology, and impressions.

Editor

The 24 Grappler comes standard with a single power handle. If you prefer a double handle, high gear, or normal gear, the 24 Barchetta Premium and 24 Engetsu Premium are also available. The basic performance is the same across all models, only the gear ratio and handle differ.

Key Features of the Grappler Premium

Significantly Updated "Fall Lever"

The newly equipped "Fall Lever" on the 24 Grappler Premium now uses a one-way roller bearing, eliminating the heaviness during retrieval that was present in previous models.

Editor

The old Fall Lever used to make reeling very heavy when tightened (to slow the fall).

This lever allows for precise control of the fall speed, enabling patterns that range from inducing reaction bites to more deliberate presentations tailored to the angler's strategy without effort.

The lever itself has also been designed to be wider with a recess on the top, making it easier to hook your finger and significantly improving usability for more intricate control.

Reeling Distance Alarm Function

A new feature, the "Reeling Distance Alarm," has been added. This function audibly notifies the angler of how much line has been reeled in from the starting depth when the clutch is engaged.

For example, if set to 5m, it will alert three times every 5m up to 15m from the bottom, allowing anglers to keep track of reeling distance without needing to look at the counter, thus enabling more focused fishing.

Lighter Than the Previous Model

The new model has achieved a significant weight reduction of 25g compared to the previous model, thanks to the updated CI4+ side plate and a thorough review of component weights. This weight reduction not only improves handling but also reduces fatigue during long fishing sessions, allowing anglers to enjoy fishing more comfortably.

Impressions

The reeling feel is exceptional, with the Reeling Distance Alarm function receiving particularly high praise. This feature makes depth management easier, enabling more aggressive and strategic fishing. Additionally, the improved usability of the newly equipped "Fall Lever" has also garnered support from many anglers.
