Shimano Ocea Jigger Rod
There’s no technique quite like jigging for targeting blue water fish hanging deeper in the water column. The Shimano Ocea Jigger rods with HIGH POWER / SPIRAL X GRAPHITE blanks provide the jig enthusiast with options. Whichever option you choose, the through line is strength. Oceans of strength.
There are several models in the range equally divided between spin and overhead. The spin models are designed for aggressive, high speed jigging techniques. The overhead models feature a slow taper which allows for accurate jig response via slow jigging techniques.
Shimano understand the need for both model types to adequately cover most blue water jigging applications. We think you will benefit from being equipped with a spin and an overhead model in the boat. While the Shimano Ocea Jigger rods are priced relative to their high pedigree, the investment in two jiggers will create a serious jigging arsenal very hard to beat.
Cosmetically, they look every bit as fantastic as they perform. The EVA grips allow plenty of support when it’s time to white knuckle your rod. Fuji Silicon and CI4+ seats complete a symphony of top shelf inclusions that ensure every angler gets the ultimate in jigging excitement.
From Yellowfin Tuna, to Kingfish, Mackerel to Wahoo and GT’s. If they’re hanging deep, if jigging is the only way, your best weapon bar none is the Shimano Ocea Jigger Rod. Choose your fishing rod now, the blue water and all its predatorial inhabitants await.

Shimano Ocea Jigger Buyers Guide
As you may have noticed we have split our table into two types. A spin table which suit spinning type reels and an overhead table for those that like to fish with overheads. Once you have made your choice be it spin or overhead it then boils down to how heavy you wish to fish and the weights of the jigs you are likely to use in our table you can get a pretty good idea on the maximum jig size that can be used.
We have lighter jigging rods such as the S622 model which will suit up to PE2.5 rated lines (generally depending on the brand of braid you purchase is around 25lb) this rod makes a great purchase for those targeting your average size offshore fish and like a little more sport in their fishing. We have a few in between size models right up to the S605 in spin and B635 in overhead for your heavier jigging applications for targeting big kings, tuna and the like.
In our table we have also offered a rough suggestion on reel sizing to best suit the rods also assisting in reducing jigging fatigue, but this is a guide only. You may choose whatever size reel suits you personally and for your fishing application styles.
