Shimano Ocea Jigger 1500HG Jigging Reel

THE BEST IN ITS CATEGORY

The Shimano Ocea Jigger 1500HG Jigging Reel is one of those reels that when you experience the mixture of power, finesse & refinement you genuinely ask yourself - can it get any better? So in 2021 Shimano went and added 6 additional models! The Shimano Ocea Jigger 1500HG Jigging Reel brings together the worlds leading technology from Shimano & places it all into the best overhead reel in its category. For keen anglers targeting big snapper slow pitch jigging you cannot go past the pure brilliance of the Shimano Ocea Jigger 1500HG Jigging Reel. At Land & Sea we suggest pairing your Ocea Jigger with the Shimano Ocea Jigger Motive range or Shimano Grappler Range or rods you will be a formidable force on the water! 

Fusing advanced manufacturing capabilities with the desires of anglers. 6 additional models added in 2021! Very often, when someone mentions Ocea Jigger, the image of a refined Jigging reel comes to mind. So how do you improve a legend? For Shimano, we start where it matters most, The Core. Fusing our most advanced manufacturing capabilities with the wants of anglers; we've made the 2017 Ocea Jigger's cranking action even lighter and smoother than before while maintaining uncompromised strength and durability. Incorporating MicroModule gears, Infinity Drive and a cold forged long crank handle, the 2017 Ocea Jigger's rotational resistance has been successfully reduced by approximately 60%. The new Jigger also features X-Protect, previously found only on the 2017 Twinpower XD. With X-Protect, waterproofing capabilities are greatly enhanced as water is prevented from entering the drive gear shaft and spool shaft bearing. On the exterior, a new star shape drag is added to lower the risk of line entanglement in high wind conditions. Minor tweaks have been made to the Hagane Body to give you a more comfortable grip. Never judge a reel by its covers because... Beauty comes from within.

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 of smoothness without sacrificing strength or durability.

HAGANE Body
HAGANE Body means this reel has high rigidity and zero twists. 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.

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 an increased free spool.
