Product Details
Power Meets Deep Precision
The Shimano Ocea Jigger LD series sets a new benchmark for vertical jigging performance with reel designs built to handle deeper water and larger fish without sacrificing smoothness or control. Featuring a lever drag capable of up to 44 pounds, these reels give anglers fast, reliable drag adjustments and rock‑steady pressure during long fights. Shimano’s Infinity Drive technology reduces side‑load drag resistance, resulting in up to 40% lighter rotation under heavy load — letting you work jigs deeper and fight fish longer with less fatigue.
Available in both MG (5.7:1) and HG (6.2:1) gear ratios, the Ocea Jigger LD lets you tailor your retrieve speed to your style: the HG gets jigs back quickly for dynamic presentations, while the MG excels where winding power and strong drag matter most. Built on a rigid HAGANE Body that eliminates flex and maximizes power transfer, and shaped with an S-Compact Body for improved palm comfort and thumb control, this reel blends strength, balance, and precision for serious jigging anglers.

Files & Documents
I bought a 2000 series Ocea Jigger star drag for slow pitch jigging. I loved it so much that I have now purchased a second one for SPJ and a 3rd (lever drag) for my bottom rod. I did go with the lower gear on my bottom rod and the higher gear for my SPJ rods. Most important thing to know is the star drag has auto engage - meaning when you hit bottom you can turn the reel handle and it engages the spool rather than having to fumble with the release lever. This proves extremely helpful for SPJ. No matter what reel you buy, if for SPJ make sure you get auto engage. Another reason I love the Ocea Jigger is the handle. The crank is designed very well and allows you to put some power behind your reeling when you're dragging up snagged fish, grouper off the bottom, and large fish in general. I am sure if you go into the store and hold this reel and do one crank with that handle, you will need no more information to know you will buy this reel. I was also considering the Daiwa g35, which also feels great in the hand. But the cost was much more. I am very happy I choose the Ocea Jigger and again, I liked it so much I bought two more for my total of 3. Just a side note, the lever drag does NOT have auto engage. The lever drag has twice the drag at 44#.
