Stronger, farther, and hassle-free, the new OCEA PLUGGER FULL THROTTLE takes the core performance of casting to the next level.

With this rod, you can cast longer, more often, and seize every opportunity on the water.

SPIRAL X CORE
Spiral X Core is Shimano's newest and most advanced blank construction technology. By integrating Spiral X carbon tape construction with Toray Nanoalloy® technology, Spiral X Core constructed blanks benefit from up to 10% more torsional rigidity and up to 15% more compressional rigidity than rods built with Spiral X. Shimano is unique to the market by applying high-strength carbon tape with this unique and patented Spiral X construction.
X GUIDE
The X guide was born to bring out the potential of blanks to the full. Supporting the guide rings of the tip part is a one-piece structure frame moulded with the latest material by 3D technology. Its beautiful shape combines strength with the calculated inclination angle and three-dimensional structure to suppress line entanglement. The tip guides are light and small. In the butt part, we have the Aero Titanium X guide, which contributes to casting feeling and casting distance. X guide is Shimano's original high-performance guide, which fused lightness, troubleless, and casting performance to higher dimensions.
HI-POWER X
Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally wrapped carbon tape to form an array of "X" shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. The width of the tape, its winding angle, and the rod's part being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. This manufacturing process 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 for the angler.
SCREW LOCK JOINT
The SCREW LOCK JOINT achieves increased joint strength and ease of detachment by unique machining methods. When twisting the rod sections as it is twisted like a screw, the fixing force rises, and the sections are more securely locked on the joint section. When unscrewing, the sections can be easily unlocked by twisting in the opposite direction.
C14+
C14 is a Shimano original material reinforced with lighter carbon fibre and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. Cla+ is an advanced version of the original C14 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies, rotors and reel seats built with CI4+ are further reduced in size and weight.
