Shimano Ocea Plugger Full Throttle S82XH-3 8'2" Popping Rod

The Shimano Ocea Plugger Full Throttle S82XH-3 is engineered for serious offshore casting and popping where casting distance, power, and durability are essential. The blank is designed to bend smoothly through its full length, allowing casting energy to transfer efficiently while helping reduce the physical burden on the angler during repeated full-power casts and demanding fights. Shimano's X Guide Touch Free Titanium system is designed to reduce line contact with the blank during high-speed casting. The optimized high-frame guide design helps improve line release, casting distance, and resistance to line tangles and air knots when using PE braid. Each guide is double wrapped for added durability during repeated casting and heavy-load fights. The rod also features a V-Hold front grip, designed to improve grip and stability during power fights, along with a lightweight CI4+ Shimano original reel seat for secure reel control. The S82XH-3 is the 3-piece travel-friendly version of the S82XH, with a compact closed length of approximately 90.8cm while retaining a full 8'2" working length.
