Shimano Ocea Jigger LD Conventional Reels
With a newly adopted lever drag design to the Ocea name, the Shimano Ocea Jigger LD Conventional Reels continue to set the bar on innovation and excellence for deep water jigging. Its lever drag design offers serious power, with consistent adjustment and stabilized performance under the most immense loads. Premium carbon fiber drag washers tame the largest of species, while a secondary light line cam included with the reel allows users to reduce its powerful drag for lighter line and application usage. Shimano incorporated their Infinity Drive Technology to further enhance drag performance, easing handle rotation by 30% during intense battles and high-drag scenarios. Drag force is increased, while side-load pressure is minimized.
Features and Technology Found in the Shimano Ocea Jigger LD Conventional Reels:
- Infinity Drive: Drastically reduces rotational torque, constructing a reel which can actively wind under heavy loads.
- S-Compact Body: Power, rigidity, durability results in a reel that feels one size smaller in your hand. The B-side sideplate is all one piece, contributing to both rigidity and in-the-hand palming comfort. The A-side sideplate has the handle, drag adjustment and cast control knob.
- HAGANE Body: A reel body with high rigidity, which virtually eliminates body flexing due to it's stiffness and impact resistance. The result? An angler's actions are more efficiently transformed into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.
- X-Protect: By combining a water repellant coating and a specially designed water channeling labyrinth construction, X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without adding weight or sacrificing light rotor rotation.
- Cross Carbon Drag: Allows for a wider range of drag settings, enhanced drag washer durability, and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
