Rotational torque is reduced by up to 30%. The newly developed double drag system breaks the conventional wisdom of lever drags reels.
When fighting large fish the reel is required to have not only a large line capacity but also a reliable drag system. Lever drag systems have many advantages, namely it is easy to achieve high drag pressures and allow for instantaneous and accurate drag adjustments, however they also have the disadvantage of higher drag settings resulting in heavier handle rotation. In order to minimise this the Ocea Jigger LD is equipped with a double drag structure with two drag washers, this successfully produces high drag force with low thrust and significantly less binding achieving up to 30% reduction in rotational resistance when compared to conventional models of the same size. Furthermore, the drag lever adopts a cold forged lever designed exclusively for Ocea Jigger LD which is highly rigid and a convenient shape to enable smoother drag operation.
