Built for anglers chasing the opportunity of a lifetime. Dedicated to passionate pluggers pushing their limits.

The OCEA Plugger BG was developed by pursuing the true essence of big game fishing, designed to target giant species such as Tuna, GT, and Kingfish. The lineup consists of three series:

  • MONSTER DRIVE — A 3-piece design created for expedition anglers, combining exceptional casting distance, power, and high-speed fighting performance with increased blank repulsion.
  • FLEX ENERGY — Focused on stable lure control and fighting performance, featuring a tough and flexible blank designed to bend deeply and subdue fish with resilience.
  • BLUEFIN TUNA — The most powerful rod series in the OCEA lineup, built specifically for targeting giant tuna over 300kg.

The blanks feature Spiral X Core and Hi-Power X construction for superior strength and rigidity, while also delivering outstanding durability under extreme rod angles during intense fights.

The new OCEA Plugger BG series is also equipped with X Guide Touch Free Titanium guides across all models, pursuing one of its key concepts — ultimate casting performance.

For the BLUEFIN TUNA series, newly developed extra-large diameter X Guides dramatically reduce line trouble caused by oversized 20000+ spinning reel spools, delivering an incredibly smooth and explosive casting feel unlike ever before.

In addition, three BLUEFIN TUNA models feature a long front grip design, making the rod easier to lift, hold, and continuously apply pressure during brutal fights, further enhancing the “bend-and-control” fighting style.

Refined with next-generation performance, the OCEA Plugger BG continues to push beyond limits together with anglers striving for the ultimate challenge.

<FLEX ENERGY S83H>

Maintaining the resilient blank design built to withstand high drag pressure and prolonged fights, the addition of X Guides significantly improves casting performance, delivering a smooth, stress-free casting feel with increased casting distance.

This rod is capable of accurately casting and working lighter plugs around 60g, while also comfortably handling large plugs up to 180g. Built primarily with low-elasticity carbon material, it excels at stable casting and creating natural, lifelike lure action while minimizing unwanted erratic movements.

The sluggish and heavy feeling often associated with low-elasticity rods has been thoroughly minimized through Shimano’s advanced rod technologies. The powerful butt section generates tremendous lifting power as the rod bends deeper under load.

The rod’s bending fulcrum naturally shifts closer to the angler’s hands, reducing physical strain and fatigue while supporting a higher rod angle during fights and providing stable lifting power.

An ideal model for targeting Kingfish, Yellowfin Tuna, and Tuna feeding on smaller bait patterns.
