SHIMANO 20 Ocea Jigger 4000

The king of jigging bait reels, the Ocea Jigger, is now available in a new 4000 model that can handle large fish in the deep sea and on remote islands. The concept is "compact and high line capacity." While boasting a line capacity of 3 x 1200m, the outer diameter of the palming side has been reduced to provide good hold. Deep zone targets such as amberjack, black tuna, and red sea bass are within reach. Of course, the Jigger tradition of robust construction and smooth winding performance is inherited without fail. In addition, the large diameter star drag allows for more precise drag adjustment. The Ocea Jigger F Custom 2000 fall lever (sold separately) can also be installed.

Infinity Drive
A new mechanism developed by Shimano to achieve stronger and lighter winding. Of the two grease bearings that support the pinion gear, the bearing on the spool side has the greatest rotational resistance. This does not support it, but instead supports it from the inside of the pinion gear with the spool shaft. In addition, we have reviewed each part, such as improving the exciting drag sound mechanism, and have eliminated rotational resistance by up to approximately 60%. Furthermore, we have thoroughly optimized the support distance and thickness of the gears, achieving high support rigidity. The rotational resistance of the gears has been significantly reduced without compromising durability. The rotational feel is on a different level than before.

Micro module gear
Powerful and smooth power transmission performance Shimano's unique gear system achieves smooth power transmission by closely meshing a large number of fine teeth that are as small as possible. The increased number of meshing teeth achieves both a smooth feeling and strength. In addition, the performance is maximized when combined with the elaborate and highly rigid HAGANE body.

HAGANE body
Highly rigid metal body hammered by cold forging The HAGANE body of the NEW Ocea Jigger is a metal armor hammered hard by cold forging. The high rigidity protects the internal structure and minimizes deflection, improving the gear meshing precision. It converts the angler's power into winding power without letting it escape.

S compact body
Compact design for a firm grip The diameter of the palm side of the body is designed to be more compact than the handle side. In addition, the contact surface with the palm and fingers is enlarged to provide a firm grip. It fits snugly in the palm of your hand, making it easy to hold, improving operability and reducing the angler's fatigue.

Cold-forged long crank handle
Achieves up to approximately 200% higher rigidity The handle comes standard with a high-rigidity, strong cold-forged long crank handle. The hard, sturdy handle body is approximately twice as rigid as the previous model, and the synergistic effect with the HAGANE body enables direct winding performance without power loss.

Cold-forged high-rigidity clutch lever
High-rigidity clutch lever with improved operability The clutch section uses a new clutch lever that has been cold-forged, achieving not only a textured feel but also operability that exceeds that of the previous model.

X-Protect
The impregnable waterproof system of the new Ocea Jigger uses Shimano's powerful waterproof system, X-Protect. By using a waterproof wall and special water-repellent grease together, it firmly guards against water intrusion into the drive gear shaft spool side bearing. It has evolved further into a highly durable offshore specification.

X-Protect
A waterproof wall is provided for the drive gear shaft spool side bearing,and the inside and outside are filled with special water-repellent grease. Waterproofing is greatly improved.

A waterproof wall is also provided on the inside of the spool, reducing the reach of seawater to the spool shaft bearing. The corrosion resistance of the bearing is improved.

Drive gear
The large diameter drive gear that supports the large diameter gear drive unit, which boasts strong toughness, is designed to be heavy and highly precise using ultra-high strength brass material. There is no compromise on strength.

Pinion gear
Special surface treatment for improved durability The pinion gear of the NEW Ocea Jigger has been given a special surface treatment to improve its salt resistance. This contributes greatly to improving the durability of the clutch.

Stainless steel parts
High strength and corrosion resistance Stainless steel material with excellent rigidity and corrosion resistance is used for every corner of the internal parts, such as the washers. Durability is maintained down to the smallest detail.

Thumbing space
In the front part of the clutch side, there is space for thumbing with the thumb. Access from the clutch operation is smooth, allowing for smooth control.

Thumbing space
In front of the palming side, there is space for controlling the fall with the index finger. Thumbing can be performed without breaking the palming.

Asymmetrical spool edge
Asymmetrical spool edge The spool edge is designed asymmetrical.
Each is shaped to be easy to operate from the thumbing space on the main body. Pursuing usability down to the smallest detail, it raises the level of fishing.

Mechanical brake knob
Newly shaped mechanical brake knobThe mechanical brake knob, which is important for adjusting the fall speed, has been enlarged so that it is easy to grip and operate with the thumb. The synergistic effect with the thumbing space controls the fall.

Drag
Silky drag performance is safe even when using thin linesIn modern jigging, where light lines are becoming more common, the quality of the drag performance is an important point. The structure that changes smoothly according to the rotation angle of the star drag allows for fine adjustments and allows for a firm drag setting. It makes it possible to fight with confidence even when a large fish hits with a thin line.

Carbon cross washer
Uses a carbon cross washer that combines good starting and high durability. Contributes to silky drag performance.

Newly shaped star drag
Not only is it easy to rotate, but it is also designed to be shaped so that the tip does not pick up the line easily. It reduces line tangle problems in strong crosswinds, allowing you to concentrate on fishing without stress.

Exciting drag sound
A mechanism that produces a drag sound. It gives you an advantage when fighting with fish, and the exhilarating sound lifts the angler's spirits.

Spool lock mechanism
A mechanism that completely locks the spool and locks it from reverse rotation. It's safe even when it gets snagged.

Replaceable spool
The spool can be easily replaced by simply removing the bolt with the included wrench.
