SHIMANO 25 Ocea EJ B58-6

Powerful and Comfortable Electric Jigging.

The OCEA EJ has evolved to enhance the fundamental performance required for electric jigging, making it more powerful and comfortable than ever. By shifting the bending fulcrum closer to the angler's hand, it reduces strain and allows for effortless jig control. This design improves jerk timing recognition and provides a stress-free jigging experience.

Electric jigging's high-speed action is highly effective for targeting pelagic species like tuna and amberjack, while its adaptability to slow retrieves ensures all-around versatility. The newly adopted X-Guide optimizes line flow with its precise angle and shape, minimizing trouble and enhancing smooth line release. Additionally, the lightweight guide construction improves overall maneuverability.

Key Features

Dedicated Blank Design for the Ultimate Electric Jigging Experience

The new OCEA EJ features a blank design specifically tailored for electric jigging. Built on the concept of a soft tip and heavy butt, the soft tip not only makes jerk timing easier to grasp but also absorbs the initial impact from the powerful winding force of an electric reel, reducing unnecessary overaction. The butt section is responsible for controlling the jig, and by shifting the bending fulcrum closer to the angler’s hand, fatigue is minimized. This design allows for high-speed jerks as well as smooth execution of slow and mid-speed jerks. The blank flexes all the way to the grip, storing energy and delivering a powerful response, enabling precise heavy jig operation. During fights, the rod's strong yet flexible bend reduces strain on the body while preventing hook dislodgment and missed strikes.

Spiral-Mounted X-Guide 3D Titanium for Lightweight & Trouble-Free Performance

To maximize the blank’s performance, the new OCEA EJ adopts a spiral guide system, minimizing the risk of line entanglement, breakage, and rod damage—common challenges in electric jigging. The tip section features Shimano’s X-Guide 3D Titanium, a one-piece structure crafted using cold forging and 3D technology. It is lightweight, strong, and designed without sharp edges. The precise tilt angle minimizes line troubles while ensuring smooth line release. The single-footed X-Guide enhances maneuverability and seamless bending without stiff resistance. While some may worry about single-foot guides, their high trouble-free design drastically reduces line tangles. Additionally, their cold-forged construction ensures durability, and their reinforced guide fixing power minimizes the risk of unexpected breakage.

Instant and Easy Attachment—Newly Developed Cable Holder for Enhanced Onboard Comfort

The new OCEA EJ introduces a cable holder designed to secure the electric reel cable at the rear grip. This prevents the cable from flapping during jerks, allowing for a more comfortable jigging experience. The holder minimizes cable interference, making electric jigging more enjoyable. It is designed for quick and effortless attachment and detachment, reducing setup and takedown stress. This feature also allows for fast removal when moving between fishing spots, making it easy to place the tackle in a rod holder.

Ergonomic Reel Seat & Grip for Electric Jigging Efficiency

The OCEA EJ is equipped with a reel seat and grip designed specifically for the demands of electric jigging. The Multi-Fit CI4+ Reel Seat is compact and optimized for secure handling, even with bulky electric reels. The Semi-Trigger EVA Grip offers exceptional grip flexibility, accommodating various hand sizes and grip styles. Its subtly contoured shape enhances comfort and fit, enabling powerful jerks and solid control during fights with large fish. The V-Hold Front Grip features a V-shaped cross-section for improved grip and stability. By gripping this section with the opposite hand while jerking and fighting, anglers experience reduced fatigue, ensuring a more comfortable electric jigging session.
