Shimano Ocea Jigger Infinity
Shimano Ocea Jigger Infinity is the core slow-jigging rod series in the Ocea Jigger lineup, developed around effortless, precise jerk control and a natural connection between angler and rod. The third-generation design uses slimmer blanks and a slower taper so the bending fulcrum moves smoothly toward the grip, allowing the rod to respond dynamically with less input while reducing fatigue.
Spiral X Core and Hi-Power X reinforce the slender blank against twisting and deformation, combining a smooth bending curve with the strength needed to lift and control jigs accurately. The full one-piece blank is precisely tuned with multiple materials to create efficient energy transfer and a seamless bend from tip through the grip area.
A newly developed Full Holding Seat R was refined through more than 100 prototype shapes to improve reel matching, grip security and comfort during prolonged keep-jerking. Its slimmer body, extended rear section, enlarged trigger, Shimano original hood and flat-bottom short cork grip enhance stability and reduce hand fatigue.
X Guide 3D Titanium guides are used on models except B61-9 and B61-10, combining low weight and strength with an integrated shape designed to reduce line trouble without restricting blank flex. A lightweight, hollow, thin-wall carbon rear grip enhances sensitivity.
The lineup spans eleven powers from B65-0 through B61-10. B65-0 is the lightest model for 40-130 g jigs and inshore applications, while B65-1 through B65-3 progressively expand into broader inshore and mid-depth work.
B63-4 through B63-6 cover deeper water, strong currents and larger targets, including amberjack, yellowtail, greater amberjack, cod, deepwater species and fall-oriented tuna fishing. B61-7 through B61-10 are dedicated to expedition and deep-water applications, culminating in B61-10 with support for jigs up to 1200 g and depths around 1000 m.
B61-9 and B61-10 use all double-foot guides with emphasis on strength and rigidity. Technologies include Spiral X Core, X Guide, Hi-Power X and CI4+.
