Your new jigging partner, day in and day out
The
Shimano Ocea Jigger 1500 HG Grappler Type J B684 Slow Jig Combo will not disappoint. It comes with the new Ocea Jigger 1500 HG Overhead Reel, which has a robust, compact body and feels smooth and powerful even with its amazing light body. You also get the Grappler Type J Slow Jig rod, with a soft, quick tapering tip that allows you to give your lures the best movement possible.
The Reel
The
Shimano Ocea Jigger 1500 HG Jigging Reel just got an overhaul. The flagship of Shimano's saltwater jigging reels now comes with new exciting features like Infinity Drive and Micro Module Gear, which reduces 60% of the reeling resistance compared to the old model. The new handle is especially designed to provide a firm grip and the ability to give extra power without losing grip.
The combination of Hagane body and S-compact body results in an immensely strong and though lightweight jigging reel. The 8 shielded A-RB ball bearings and X-Protect provides smooth operation plus saltwater protection. The HG version with a gear ratio of 6:4.1 is ideal for jigging at high tempo and for active bite activity. Plus, with a drag of 7.5kg, fighting the biggest fish is not a problem anymore.
MicroModule
The addition of the MicroModule gear technology to the worm shaft reduces oscillation vibration. This is an incredible breakthrough in design and delivers an outstanding level smoothness without sacrificing strength or durability.
HAGANE Body
HAGANE Body means this reel has a high rigidity and zero twist. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing. The result transforms your actions directly into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.
X-Protect
By combining our water repellent coating and our specially designed, water channelling labyrinth construction, X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation.
E.I. Anti-Corrosion Surface Treatment
After the anodisation process is finished, a second layer of surface treatment is added. This treatment is forced into the remaining surface impurities. This gives salt no hideout and also results in an extremely smooth-to-the-touch finish. A reel with E.I. treatment has more than double the corrosion resistance of a standard anodised reel.
Shielded Anti-Reverse Bearings
These bearings have been through the same process as the A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearings' rotation.
Super Free
The Super Free bearing-supported pinion gear system (SF) was designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast. In standard baitcasting reels, when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft, creating friction and limiting the length of the cast. With SF, the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing and when the clutch is disengaged the pinion hear and spool shaft are kept in precise alignment. The result is zero friction on the spool shaft for increased freespool.
The Rod
The
Shimano Grappler Type J B684 Slow Jig Overhead
Rod is 6'8'' long - a specific length designed for the
taper of the rod to work its magic on the jig. The sensitive tip on
the rod allows for good line tension control to cater to changing
fishing conditions. And what's more it features both Spiral X and
Hi-Power X blank construction for increased strength and less power
loss during jerking and fighting.
Spiral X
Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a blank made of
vertical fibres, an inner layer and an outer layer, both comprising
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 for fighting
fish. Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's Spiral
X construction enhances 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.
