Shimano Ocea Plugger BG A Spinning Rods

Powered by Shimano's most advanced rod technologies, the OCEA Plugger BG series offers anglers the upper hand when casting stickbaits or poppers for giant tuna. Shimano's proprietary Spiral-X Core technology lies at the heart of the OCEA Plugger Big Game and enhances Shimano's traditional Spiral X carbon tape construction by utilizing Toray Nanoalloy® technology to provide up to 10% more torsional rigidity and up to 15% more compressional rigidity than rods built with standard Spiral X technology. Combined with Shimano's Hi-Power X technology, OCEA Plugger BG provides anglers with improved rigidity, recovery and overall strength while reducing the rod's weight to deliver enhanced casting distance and accuracy without sacrificing the fish-fighting power needed to land these giant fish. OCEA Plugger BG features a hybrid Shimano X-Guide and Fuji Titanium SiC guide train for improved casting performance and durability. Ergonomic, laser-engraved EVA grips provide comfortable and secure hand placement to help reduce fatigue during long and grueling battles. With its unmatched performance, the OCEA Plugger Big Game series encompasses the tools to cast further, battle tougher and land trophy-class fish. Features Spiral-X Core: Provides up to 10% more torsional rigidity and up to 15% more compressional rigidity than rods built with standard Spiral X technology. This gives the angler additional casting distance combined with superior accuracy. Hi-Power X: Carbon-wrapped blank construction method used to increase rigidity, strength, and twist resistance X-Guide Touch Free Titanium: Designed to solve common offshore fishing problems with braided lines, like tangles and wind knots. It features a high-frame design and optimized guide size to reduce line slap on the blank during casting. This creates a silky-smooth cast and increases distance. Less contact between the line and the rod also helps maintain line strength. Overall, it reduces line troubles and missed opportunities, making offshore fishing smoother and more enjoyable.
