OCEA JIGGER 2500 LD Reel
The Ocea Jigger 2500 LD is the next evolution in Shimano’s iconic Ocea Jigger lineup, designed for anglers targeting larger fish in deeper waters. This reel delivers enhanced performance with a 44-pound drag capacity and a lever drag system that ensures consistent, easy adjustment even under high stress.
Equipped with Shimano’s Infinity Drive technology, the reel reduces side-load pressure while increasing drag force, resulting in up to 40% lighter rotation during tough fights. This improves control and reduces wear on the reel during prolonged battles.
Available in two gear ratios: MG (5.7:1) and HG (6.2:1), allowing anglers to choose based on their jigging style and fishing conditions. The retrieval rate is 47 inches per revolution.

The Ocea Jigger 2500 LD performs exceptionally well in deep water jigging. The lever drag makes adjusting tension simple and reliable. I’ve used it on larger species and it holds drag consistently without backlash. The Infinity Drive system feels smoother than previous models, especially during long fights.

I switched from an older model to the 2500 LD for deeper water fishing. The 6.2:1 HG gear works great for faster retrieval. The drag is strong and stable, and the lighter rotation helps reduce fatigue during long sessions.
