Shimano - Ocea Plugger Full Throttle B Popping Rods:

High adrenaline situations of tuna boiling or pelagics busting on the surface demand superior performance: The Ocea Plugger Full Throttle B series heeds the call.

Shimano's most advanced rod technologies lie at the heart of the redesigned Ocea Plugger Full Throttle A series to offer anglers the upper hand when popping or plugging for large pelagics.

Shimano's proprietary Spiral X Core technology powers the Ocea Plugger Full Throttle A by enhancing Shimano's traditional Spiral X carbon tape construction and utilizing Toray Nanoalloy® technology to provide up to 10% more torsional rigidity and up to 15% more compressional rigidity than rods built with standard Spiral X technology. Combined with Shimano's Hi-Power X technology, Ocea Plugger Full Throttle provides anglers with improved rigidity, recovery, and overall strength. A reduced blank weight delivers enhanced casting distance and accuracy without sacrificing fish-fighting performance. The addition of Shimano's X-Guide stripper guide further increases casting distance and accuracy by utilizing a higher frame and moving the guide further away from the blank to eliminate line slap and allow for more efficient line flow through the guides. An innovative Screw Lock Joint increases the fixing force of the two-piece Ocea Plugger Full Throttle A by twisting like a screw to tighten, ensuring the reel seat and guide train stay aligned during grueling battles.

Features:

  • Custom EVA Grips - Custom EVA grips compliment the already impressive aesthetics of this series of rods.
  • 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-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.
  • X Guide - The X guide was born from the viewpoint to bring out the potential of blanks to the full. Supporting the guide rings of the tip part is a one-piece structure frame molded with the latest material by 3D technology. It’s beautiful shape combines strength with the calculated inclination angle and three-dimensional structure to suppress line entanglement. The tip guides are light and small. In the butt part we have the Aero Titanium X guide which contributes to casting feeling and casting distance. X guide is Shimano’s original high-performance guide which fused lightness, trouble less, casting performance to higher dimensions
  • 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 the opposite direction.
  • CI4+ Reel Seat - 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. The use of CI4+ for the reel seat increases sensitivity and reduces weight while also delivering remarkable rigidity for perfect reel fixation and better rod efficiency.
