Shimano Ocea Jigger Star Drag Conventional Reels Review

Making use of the industries most advanced manufacturing practices the Shimano Ocea Jigger Star Drag Conventional Reels were built for the jigging enthusiast looking for the ultimate in unbridled performance. The Ocea Jigger offers unprecedented cranking power thanks to a multitude of features. Equi...pped with Shimanos cutting edge Infinity Drive technology a new main shaft supporting structure is utilized to reduce friction with the pinion gear resulting in greatly improved rotational torque. Rotational torque is also enhanced by an adjustable long crank handle to provide the angler with superior leverage over heavy loads. With two different adjustable handle positions anglers can choose from positions that enhance either speed or power to better suit their jigging application. A buttery smooth retrieve is ensured with MicroModule gear. The X-Protect feature enhances durability and preserves that out-of-the-box effortless rotation by utilizing a labyrinth construction that channels water away from key internal components combined with a water repellant coating. Housing the Ocea Jiggers internal components is a compact aluminum frame that is both lightweight and easily palmable putting unparalleled fish fighting power in a package that is comfortable to use and will reduce angler fatigue during long jigging sessions.Features:Two position adjustable long crank handle offers all day jigging comfortExciting drag sound allows anglers to know when they are in jeopardy of pulling hooks or breaking offAuto-Clutch return to easily bring the reel in and out of freespool and react quickly to bitesSpool lock allows anglers to more safely break off when they snag bottomNew trouble free drag star design which allows for easy adjustmentEI coating on the spool surface in order to prevent corrosionHG and PG gear ratios to properly pair with various jigging stylesShimanos best-in-class S-ARB bearings to provide long lasting performanceShimano 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 its stiffness and impact resistance. The result? An anglers actions are more efficiently transformed into cranking power. Its 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 Shimanos 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 bearings rotation.E.I. - Shimanos proprietary treatment on the spool and body that allows for advanced corrosion resistance thats 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.
