SHIMANO OCEA JIGGER 2500 LD

The Shimano Ocea Jigger 2500 LD represents the next evolution in premium offshore jigging reels, combining the finesse and compact feel of the legendary Ocea Jigger with the consistency and control of a precision lever drag system. Designed for serious jigging anglers targeting powerful gamefish in deep water, the 2500 LD is available in Medium Gear (MG) and High Gear (HG) models, allowing anglers to choose the retrieve speed best suited to their fishing style.

Built around Shimano’s rigid HAGANE Body and ergonomic S-Compact Body design, the Ocea Jigger LD delivers exceptional strength while remaining remarkably comfortable to fish all day. Shimano’s revolutionary Infinity Drive significantly reduces rotational resistance under heavy drag loads, providing up to 30% lighter handle rotation when fighting hard-pulling fish. Combined with the proven Cross Carbon Drag, the reel produces an impressive 20kg (44lb) of smooth, consistent drag pressure while maintaining outstanding cranking power.

The 2500 MG features a powerful 5.7:1 gear ratio, retrieving 107cm of line per crank, making it ideal for deep-water slow pitch jigging and situations where maximum winding power is required. The 2500 HG, with its 6.2:1 gear ratio and rapid 117cm retrieve, excels when working speed jigs, mechanical jigging or fishing deeper water where quick line recovery is essential.

With X-Protect water resistance, corrosion-resistant S A-RB bearings, and Shimano’s renowned precision engineering, the Ocea Jigger 2500 LD is built to withstand the harshest saltwater environments. Whether you’re targeting dogtooth tuna, amberjack, yellowtail kingfish, GTs or deep-water reef species, the Ocea Jigger LD delivers the strength, refinement and reliability demanded by serious offshore anglers.
