Set the bar higher this season
The
Shimano Ocea Jigger 1500 HG 21 Grappler BB Slow Jig Combo is the perfect blend of strength and power that's built to last. With this pair you get all the power and comfort you need for those long, tough fights.
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 21 Grappler BB Slow Jig Overhead Rod focuses on effortless power and smooth casts. Featuring the premium Shimano and Fuji componentry you'd find in a high-priced rod, the Grappler BB has you covered for all aspects of saltwater fishing. Incorporating features such as Hi-Power X blank technology, Shimano custom reel seats and CI4 reel seats, as well as Fuji K Stainless Alconite guides. Shimano's exclusive carbon wrapped Hi-Power X blank technology ensures blank twist and rotation is reduced when the rod is in motion, giving you increased casting performance, better fight control and a crisper feel when working your lures.
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 shows 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.
