Shimano Ocea Plugger Limited Medium Heavy Topwater Spin Rod 8ft 3in PE6 2pc

The ultimate in casting performance and fish fighting power

The Shimano Ocea Plugger Limited Medium Heavy Topwater Spin Rod utilises Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank construction with the ability to withstand a 60-degree fighting angle. A light rod with uncompromised strength. Shimano’s patented Spiral X blank construction reduces blank twist and leads to longer, more accurate casting. Less blank twist also makes it easier to pull on big fish and takes pressure off the angler. Hi-Power X technology reduces ovalisation and increases strength to protect from breakage. Spiral X combined with Hi-Power X provides you with a best-in-class strength-to-weight ratio popping and plugging rod.

Hi-Power X
In Hi-Power X construction, the blank’s outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an array of X shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp control by the angler.

Spiral X
Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a blank made of vertical fibres, an inner layer, and an outer layer both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fibre sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fighting fish. Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano’s Spiral X construction enhances your catching power.
