SHIMANO Ocea Plugger Limited S88H

Unmatched Casting Performance for Maximum Distance.
In offshore casting games, distance is the ultimate weapon that every angler desires. The Ocea Plugger Limited is designed to achieve the highest level of casting distance, developed to outcast others and catch more fish. The lightweight and high-rebound blanks enhance casting speed while supporting long-duration full casts. The meticulously enhanced rebound power increases as the rod is bent, enabling stable long-distance casts. The design allows the blanks to flex smoothly even to the grip, mitigating the shock and stress typically associated with high-rebound rods and facilitating better timing in casting. Additionally, elements such as lightweight guides that excel in line release are integrated. The outstanding casting performance sharpens the angler's senses and brings joy in improvement, even to experts.

KEY FEATURE:

Achieving the Highest Level of Casting Distance
As offshore casting games have gained popularity and tackle and techniques have matured, the systems for targeting fish have evolved year by year. However, as more anglers benefit from these advancements, the gap between them narrows, sometimes leading to decreased catch rates. In this context, the key to achieving consistent encounters is "casting distance." To catch more fish, expanding the range to approach fish that are further away is the ultimate solution. The Ocea Plugger Limited pursues distance by enhancing the potential of high-rebound blanks. We hope you experience the power of this long-distance casting rod, which even experts with high casting skills can feel the difference.

Everything for Casting Distance: The Impact of Lightweight and High-Rebound Blanks
Shimano has thoroughly pursued weight reduction in the high-rebound blanks that generate distance. The performance of the blanks, which unleash tremendous power as they are bent, creates explosive casting distances. This performance is drawn out by a stable casting feel, improved swing speed, and light weight to sustain it. Equipped with Spiral X Core, the lightweight and high-strength blanks of the Ocea Plugger Limited are like springs throughout. The power released after bending to the grip is filled with destructive force.

Benefits from Reliable Grip: Newly Developed Reel Seat
The newly developed reel seat featured in this Limited model eliminates any steps for improved ease of grip, ease of applying force, and reduced fatigue. The slightly recessed seat area fits the ball of the thumb, embodying a stable grip feel that feels like it adheres to the hand. With a stable grip during casting, wobbling and power loss are minimized, supporting full-power casting and fighting.
