Shimano Ocea Plugger Light Concept Spin Rod

Light casting game for technical and exciting fun. The "OCEA PLUGGER Light Concept" was created to enjoy the appeal of this game. The design of the blanks and all parts around the parts have been thoroughly lightened. While being light in every sense of the word, it is characterized by a high balance of strength, long castability, and response. The one-and-a-half design is not only convenient for carrying, but also improves bat power by positioning the joint closer to the butt gite, enabling the angler to capture targets weighing more than 10 kg. And SHIMANO's unique "X GUIDE Touch Free Titanium" has been adopted to dramatically improve casting performance. Blanks touch of the line released from the reel at ultra-high speed is suppressed to achieve a non-stress, piercing casting feel. It also suppresses line trouble and line damage that anglers fear.

Features

SCREW LOCK JOINT - Specially processed joint specification that increases the fixing force of the joint part while also making it easy to remove. When the rod is twisted to join the joint, it is tightened like a screw, increasing the fixing force and making it difficult to pull it out. When removing the rod, twist in the opposite direction to release the fixation.

V-hold front grip - The front grip has a V-shaped cross-section to enhance grip strength when held. This reduces the load during power fights and provides a sense of stability.

Small diameter high frame X GUIDE - In offshore fishing, which is easily affected by strong wind, crosswind, and headwind, line troubles such as guide tangles and air knots when using PE line have been a major bottleneck. New X GUIDE touch free titanium, developed to solve this problem, is a totally new guide completed by pursuing an appropriate balance between the expected reel number and the height of the guide. The small-diameter and high-frame design suppresses line flapping when casting, which contributes to a better casting feel and longer casting distance. In addition, the reduction of contact between line and blanks suppresses the reduction in strength of the line itself. By improving trouble-free performance, the risk of chance loss is reduced, and more comfortable offshore games are produced.

Titanium ＋ Stainless frame / SiC ring

Full holding seat (CI4+) - Original reel seat made of SHIMANO's original lightweight material CI4+ reinforced by carbon fiber. The seat features a low-step shape that provides a firm grip even when gripped tightly, supporting full-power casting and fighting.

Separate grip - Separate grip with reduced weight and improved operability is adopted.

One-and-a-half 2 piece - Not only it is convenient to carry, but also the joint section is positioned closer to the butt gite to improve the butt power. It has the latent power to capture good-sized fish weighing over 10kg.
