Description
The Shimano Ocea Jigger F Custom offers several upgrades over older models, appealing to anglers looking for specialized features. Here’s what makes it stand out:
-
Fall Control Lever: The unique fall lever, positioned for easy thumb access, enables precise control over jig descent speed and positioning, enhancing lure presentation, especially useful since many fish strike on the lure’s initial fall.
-
Enhanced Handle Design: The updated lightweight handle provides comfort for extended use, reducing hand fatigue when fishing at mid-depths or in strong currents.
-
Durable, Smooth Performance: Shimano includes high-end technologies like the Infinity Drive and MicroModule Gear, ensuring a smooth, powerful winding experience. This durability and performance consistency make the reel suitable for large species like kampachi and tuna.
-
Series Range for Different Environments: The F Custom offers different models catering to a range of environments. The 1500 series is ideal for red sea bream and other mid-depth fish, while the 2000 and 3000 series handle larger species, making them versatile for different fishing adventures.
However, without a U.S. warranty, purchasing this reel as a JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) product might present challenges if repairs or servicing are needed in the U.S.
This reel is a great choice if you're looking for modern, precise control in jigging but are comfortable without the U.S. warranty coverage.
