Better, Smoother, Stronger Ocea-Jigger.

The Shimano Ocea Jigger is an amazing reel, purpose built for jigging, and exceptionally built for tough fighting fish. There are 2 things that most people complain about this reel. Drag clicker noise and more drag power would be better.

It's got a unique drag clicker that sounds like a rattling toy, some love it or some hate it, I'm not bothered with it. It's actually very easy to disable if one is bothered, just pop open the 2 screws covering the 'x-ship' plate under the free spool pressure knob and you will see the clicker arm with a wire through from under the clicker arm. Just push the wire through to the back to disengage the wire spring loaded needle and you are set!

'X' marks the clicker spot.

Clicker arm powered by spring loaded wire from the main gear stack. Push the wire through to disengage and swing the clicker arm to the left and you've got yourself a clickerless jigger.

As for the drag washers, there are 4 in total and they are of different thickness across the entire stack, just make sure to match the thickness accordingly and you should be fine without having to deal with an oddly thicker stack of drag discs/washers that will push the outer most bearing too far out from the reel body housing.

Out goes the standard puny drag washers (red arrows), in goes the bigger, brawnier carbontex washers (green). Purple arrow points to the spring loaded clicker generator discs.

Even if you decide to remove the entire clicker contraption, it doesn't affect the core function of the Jigger as it is bolted onto the main drag discs just to power a simple clicker arm.

Can't wait to go jiggy with this, hopefully soon!
