OCEA PLUGGER FLEXDRIVE

Flex and win! Rest assured when taking monsters of the sea head-on.

The OCEA PLUGGER Flex Drive focuses mainly on its butt power by incorporating a blanks with low elasticity, high rebound strength and a natural bend to the rod. This lineup of rods provides the most support during power fights as it helps you to stabilize your center of gravity, minimizing any unnecessary fatigue during these fights. The strength from the rod butt does not mean that the rod is overly stiff. Anglers get the best of both worlds with this long-distance casting rod along with its natural bend which translates to a natural presentation on swimming plugs. Shimano is honoured to be able to provide anglers with a trusty lineup which excels at sensitivity, castability, operability and power.

FEATURES

SCREW LOCK JOINT

Specially processed joint specification that increases the fixing force of the joint part while also making it easy to remove. When the rod is twisted to join the joint, it is tightened like a screw, increasing the fixing force and making it difficult to pull it out. When removing the rod, twist in the opposite direction to release the fixation.

SHIMANO original seat (CI4+)

Original reel seat made of SHIMANO's original lightweight material CI4+ reinforced by carbon fiber. The seat features a low-step shape that provides a firm grip even when gripped tightly, supporting full-power casting and fighting.

V-hold front grip

The front grip has a V-shaped cross-section to enhance grip strength when held. This reduces the load during power fights and provides a sense of stability.

Titanium (butt) + stainless steel frame SiC ring

The guide is based on a stainless steel frame SiC ring, and the butt is equipped with a titanium frame RV guide that is lightweight and excels in line release.

Double-wrapped specification

Each guide is double-wrapped for durability and to support power fights in which the rod is bent vigorously.

Rubber butt end specification

A highly durable rubber butt end is used for models medium heavy and above assuming a fight with a large fish using a gimbal belt.

SPIRALXCORE_RD
SPIRAL X CORE

Spiral X Core is Shimano's newest and most advanced blank construction technology. By integrating Spiral X carbon tape construction with Toray Nanoalloy® technology, Spiral X Core constructed blanks benefit from up to 10% more torsional rigidity and up to 15% more compressional rigidity than rods built with Spiral X. Shimano is unique to the market by applying by high-strength carbon tape with this unique and patented Spiral X construction.


HI-POWERX_RD
HI-POWER X

Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally-wrapped carbon tape to form an array of "X" shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. 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. This manufacturing process 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 rod control for the angler.


NANOPITCH_RD
NANOPITCH

Shimano’s Nanopitch manufacturing method enables fine-pitch and high-precision wrapping of the molding tape during the blank baking process. Nanopitch technology tightens the tape to the extreme and provides uniform pressure, increasing the circularity of the rod and ultimately improving overall rod strength.


SCREWLOCKJOINT_RD
SCREW LOCK JOINT

The SCREW LOCK JOINT achieves increased joint strength and ease of detachment by special machining methods. When twisting the rod sections as it is twisted like a screw, the fixing force increases and the sections are more securely locked on the joint section. When unscrewing, the sections can be easily unlocked by twisting in the opposite direction.


CI4+_RD
CI4+

CI4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies, rotors and reel seats built with CI4+ are further reduced in size and weight.
