The Reel
The Shimano Ocea Jigger LD 2500MG Jigging Reel levels up the classic Ocea Jigger even further! Sporting a new large T-type handle knob and 105mm cold forged handle arm, this powerhouse reel showcases a range of features designed specifically for jigging.

The Shimano Ocea Jigger LD 2500MG Jigging Reel utilises an exclusively designed, highly rigid, cold-forged drag lever that enables a smoother operation. It’s equipped with a double-drag structure with two drag washers. This technology successfully produces high drag force with low thrust and significantly less binding. It also allows the reel to achieve up to 30% reduction in rotational resistance when compared to conventional models of the same size.

HAGANE Body
The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with exceptionally high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting fish. The result transforms the angler’s actions directly into cranking power.

Infinity Drive
Infinity Drive is an advanced structure that produces lower friction and lighter winding. The pinion gear is supported by the spool shaft instead of the pinion gear bearing on the spool side. Rotational resistance of the gear section has been reduced without compromising gear strength.

X Protect
X Protect provides high-level water resistance to the inside bearing of the drive gear shaft with waterproof construction.

S Compact Body
S Compact Body provides comfortable palming by making the side plate smaller than the handle.

S A-RB Bearings
S A-RB Bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing.

The Rod
The Shimano Grappler Type J B538 Overhead Jigging Rod features awesome newly designed blanks packed with high-end features like Spiral X and Hi-Power X, both of which are very rare for this price range. In addition to being light, strong and unwavering during fish fights, the Shimano Grappler Type J B538 Overhead Jigging Rod is equipped with double-footed MN guides and metal gimbals. This makes it an excellent rod for targeting big game fish.

Spiral X
Spiral X Construction consists of 3 layers - a blank made of vertical fibres, an inner layer, and an outer layer, both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fibre sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This, in turn, facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fighting fish. Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's Spiral X construction will definitely enhance your catching power!

Hi-Power X
In Hi-Power X construction, the blank's outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape which forms an array of "X" shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle, and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control.
