Shimano Ocea Jigger Star Drag Conventional Reels
With unprecedented cranking power, smoothness, and durability the Shimano Ocea Jigger Star Drag Conventional Reels offer the jigging enthusiast the ultimate option to conquer the depths. Shimano has equipped this reel with their cutting-edge Infinity Drive Technology, improving the main shaft supporting structure to significantly mitigate friction. This results in increased power transmission and torque with every handle turn, even under the most immense loads. MicroModule gearing combined Infinity Drive ensures a truly elevated experience with every handle turn, with the precise meshing of gearing for a buttery smooth rotation. Built into the reel handle itself are two positioning slots, allowing anglers to easily increase or decrease handle length. The shorter length allows for quicker turning, while longer length aids in leverage. Housing its internal gearing and other mechanisms, the robust yet physically light weight Hagane metal body serves as the rigid framework. This not only keeps the reel feeling sturdy in hand, but mitigates potential efficiency loss and improves longevity greatly.
Features Found in Shimano Ocea Jigger Star Drag Conventional Reels:
- Two position adjustable long crank handle offers all day jigging comfort
- Exciting drag sound allows anglers to know when they are in jeopardy of pulling hooks or breaking off
- Auto-Clutch return to easily bring the reel in and out of freespool and react quickly to bites
- Spool lock allows anglers to more safely break off when they snag bottom

Technology Found in Shimano Ocea Jigger Star Drag Conventional Reels:
- 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.
- Micro Module Gear - State-of-the-art gear design makes use of smaller gear teeth and more of them, which results in a more efficient gear train and much smoother retrieve.
- Infinity Drive - Through the use of new main shaft supporting structure to eliminate friction within the pinion gear, reels with Infinity Drive achieve increased winding torque, along with an incredibly smooth and light rotation under heavy loads.
- Exciting Drag Sound - Produces an audible drag sound to provide the angler with better feedback when a fish makes a run.
- S A-RB Bearings - These bearings undergo the same anti-corrosion process as Shimano's A-RB Bearings, with the addition of shields on both sides of the bearings to reduce the possibility of salt, dirt, or other foreign objects inhibiting the bearing's rotation.
- E.I. - Shimano's proprietary treatment on the spool and body that allows for advanced corrosion resistance that's more than twice as effective as the conventional surface treatment.
- 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.
