Selected by TackleDirect staff to create a proper combination of some of the industry’s finest options, the Shimano Ocea Plugger Big Game Popping Combos provide anglers a perfected setup to more seamlessly jump into and elevate their next trip on the water. Each combo consists of a high performance and robust rod and reel, both of which work together to ensure every bite counts.

Shimano Ocea Plugger Big Game Popping Rods

Utilizing premium componentry and some of the advanced blank technology on the market, the Shimano Ocea Plugger Big Game Popping Rods are built to target large pelagic species with stick baits, poppers, soft plastics, and more. The rods capabilities are maximized to the fullest with the both Spiral X Core and Hi-Power X, creating a rod with tons of power, casting performance, accuracy and something that’s simply a pleasure to fish with. Fuji Titanium SiC guides line the length of each model, offering great corrosion resistance, weight reduction, and casting distance.

Hi-Power X

Hi-Power X utilizes diagonally wrapped carbon tape that runs up and down the length of the blanks outermost layer to reinforce its twist resistance. This also allows Shimano to perfect precise actions for the blank, specifically tuned for big game and the trolling tactics that go with them.

Spiral X Core Construction

Spiral X Core blends Shimano’s original Spiral X technology with Toray Nanoalloy technology, creating a blank that has the 10% more torsional and 15% more compressional rigidity. These Toray Nanoalloy carbon sheets are wound just as standard Spiral X would be, but with its higher grade carbon properties. This construction along with the addition of Hi-Power X, delivers a rod with improved rigidity, faster recovery, lighter physical weight, and overall blank strength
