Ocea Plugger Limited, a new dimension in casting.

The new OCEA PLUGGER LIMITED pursues a dramatic evolution in casting performance. Utilizing Shimano's unique new guide system. The X-guide Touch Free Titanium guide train overturns conventional wisdom by thoroughly analyzing the expected reel size and ideal position of the guide. The original high frame shape chokes the line and eliminates blank slap while casting to produce stable and highly efficient line movement through the guide train. The resulting increased casting distance increases the amount of time your lure is in the bite zone.  In addition, it suppresses wind knots and reduces line damage. The new guide train is also lighter in weight than conventional setups, meaning you don’t fatigue as quickly, resulting in more casts and more hook ups.

 

FEATURETechnology Details

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 by high-strength carbon tape with this unique and patented Spiral X construction.

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 part of the rod 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.


All titanium frame / Torzite ring + SiC (top)

We also chose specifications for the guides that further enhance long casting performance. Based on an all-titanium frame and Torzite rings, SiC rings are used for the top guides. In addition to being lightweight, the use of large-diameter rings improves casting distance and casting feel. In addition, the strong all-double-footed, double-wrapped assembly is also made lighter by minimizing the number of thread wrapping sections.
