SHIMANO Ocea Jigger Motive B610-2
Overview
Lighter, more versatile, and stronger.
A long rod that showcases a variety of jigging actions.
This slow-type long rod stands out in cutting-edge jigging scenes, such as targeting bluefin tuna, mid-depth fishing, and vertical jigging. As a pioneer in this field, the Ocea Jigger ∞ Motive has undergone further evolution with a commitment to the best balance between length and operability. The desired performance is to manipulate jig actions more lightly and with greater versatility. The blanks, which achieve the seemingly contradictory performance of being "easy to handle despite their long length," combine a bow-like flexibility with a powerful response that allows jigs to be lifted vigorously. Lightweight, hollow, and highly sensitive carbon rear grips and X-guides maximize the performance of the blanks, enabling a wide range of fall actions, control of jig speed, and precision in targeting specific depths, thus further enhancing jerk performance. Additionally, by thoroughly pursuing a balance where the point of flex smoothly transitions towards the angler, common issues associated with long rods, such as fatigue and stress, are also addressed. The Motive, now closer to the ideal jigging experience, provides versatile jig actions in every moment of falling and jerking.

KEY FEATURE:
For Those Who Break Through the Limits of Falling
The magic of "fall," which stimulates the predatory instincts of all fish-eating species. Many anglers who deeply understand jigging regard this lure technique as the core of their strategy. Though it may seem simple, it is profoundly intricate, allowing experienced anglers to create versatile traps by blending their knowledge and intuition with traditional patterns.
A crucial element for manipulating this "fall" is the length of the rod. However, it is a common understanding that as rod length increases, so do the burdens and stresses on the angler, negatively affecting the precision of jerking techniques.
To overcome this dilemma, we challenged ourselves to develop the new Ocea Jigger ∞ Motive, making the impossible possible.
The Shimano development team, led by Mr. Hiroto Yamamoto, meticulously focused on this project, conducting extensive real-world testing in various fields and creating an extraordinary number of prototype rods, ultimately resulting in a completely new concept of slow jigging rods.
This rod accommodates a wide range of jerk techniques, from slow to fast, while overturning the established theory that "long rods are tiring." The limitless possibilities that unfold beyond the limits await those who seek to master the art of falling. We hope that true seekers of this technique can experience the true meaning of this rod—its "MOTIVE."
A Strong Core, Like Well-Trained Muscles
Accelerating Stress-Free Performance with Slow Taper Design
Guide System That Maximizes Blank Performance
Lightweight, Hollow, and Highly Sensitive: Carbon Rear Grip
FEATURE:
Full Holding Seat
Supports High-Precision Operation.
By incorporating a tapered shape and a constricted design at the grip, this feature pursues a fit that feels like it "sticks" to your hand and offers a fatigue-free grip. It adapts to various holding styles, including gripping, resting on the palm, and using 2 to 4 fingers. Additionally, by flattening the bottom of the grip, stability is enhanced when holding, providing support for high-precision jigging from the angler's hand. Furthermore, the use of carbon-reinforced material CI4+ contributes to weight reduction and increased sensitivity.
