Shimano OCEA Jigger LD Conventional Reel

The evolution of the iconic Ocea Jigger lineup of reels continues with the debut of the Ocea Jigger 2500 LD to provide anglers with a more capable offering for expanded endeavors in deeper water and larger fish. The lever drag design offers easy and consistent drag adjustment with stabilized performance in high-drag situations — an essential factor with a reel capable of producing 44 pounds of drag.

Shimano’s Infinity Drive technology within the Ocea Jigger 2500 LD incorporates a new drag design that increases drag force while decreasing side-load pressure to produce up to 40% lighter rotation during tough battles. Available in two gear offerings — MG (5.7:1) and HG (6.2:1) — anglers can decide which model fits their jigging style and situation the best. With a retrieval rate of 47 inches per turn, the HG model enables anglers to present jigs with finesse in deep water situations while providing quicker retrieval from the depths.

The MG model is ideal for anglers fishing up to 150 feet or in situations where drag strength and winding power are paramount. The rigid HAGANE Body eliminates body flex during tough battles and efficiently transfers winding directly into cranking power. For added palmability and comfort, the Ocea Jigger 2500 LD features an S-Compact Body for increased in-hand comfort with a cutout for improved thumbing and line control.

The reel also includes a secondary light-line cam that creates a drag curve similar to a 30-pound-class reel for added drag control and versatility. The new standard for jigging reels is set — targets beware.Ocea Jigger LD is also available in a Left Handed version.
