About this product
Shimano Ocean Conquest – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.
Slow-pitch and light jigging are techniques built on feel. You are working a metal jig 80 or 120 metres down, and everything you know about what it is doing comes up the braid and through the reel. A reel with any flex in its frame, or any grain in its gears, blurs that signal. That is what the Ocea Conquest exists to avoid.
The body is HAGANE – a single rigid piece of metal rather than a frame with bolted sideplates – so nothing twists when you put 8 kg of drag through it. The gears are MicroModule II, using more and finer teeth so a greater number are meshed at any instant, which is what removes the last trace of roughness from the retrieve. Nine ball bearings and two roller bearings carry it. Infinity Drive runs the spool shaft on a low-friction sleeve so that winding stays light under heavy load, which is precisely when a lesser reel starts to feel like hard work.
PG means power gear: 4.8:1, returning 65 cm per crank. Low gearing multiplies torque, which is what you want when lifting a fish and a heavy jig from depth. The 43 mm spool holds 500 metres of PE 1.5, 380 of PE 2 or 250 of PE 3, and X-Protect gives water-repellent protection for saltwater use.
Two things worth knowing. The 300PG is right-hand retrieve; the 301PG is the left-hand model, sold separately. And Shimano build several variants of this reel – the plain 300PG here, and CT versions with a Fall Lever that controls the rate of the jig fall.
