The Shimano Ocea Plugger Full Throttle A Popping Spinning rod is designed to give anglers the upper hand when battling big fish. This redesigned rod incorporates Shimano's most advanced rod technologies to deliver unmatched performance when popping or plugging for large pelagics. The key to its exceptional strength lies in Shimano's proprietary Spiral X Core technology. This technology combines traditional Spiral X carbon tape construction with Toray Nanoalloy to create a blank that is up to 10% more torsionally rigid and 15% more compressionally rigid than rods built with standard Spiral X. Hi-Power X technology further enhances rigidity, recovery, and overall strength for confident fish handling.

Despite its impressive strength, the Ocea Plugger Full Throttle A boasts a reduced blank weight, resulting in improved casting distance and accuracy without sacrificing fish-fighting performance. Shimano's X-Guide stripper guide plays a crucial role in casting performance as well. This innovative guide features a higher frame and positions the guide further away from the blank to eliminate line slap and promote smooth line flow, maximizing both casting distance and accuracy. Finally, the unique Screw Lock Joint ensures the two-piece rod stays perfectly aligned during even the most intense battles. By twisting like a screw to tighten, this joint secures the reel seat and guide train, allowing anglers to focus on the fight. The Shimano Ocea Plugger Full Throttle A Popping Spinning rod is built to handle the high-pressure situations that come with battling big fish.
