Studio Ocean Mark (22) OGM Blueheaven II Slow Jigging reel
Ota-ku, Tokyo, where Studio Ocean Mark is based is a manufacturing town that supports Japanese industry.
The Ota Garage model is a MADE IN JAPAN jigging reel created with craftsmen from Ota Ward which is the town of manufacturing. Blue Heaven of "S2T = Slow Style Tunning" and "PSG = Power Slow Game". Equipped with Ota Garage's quality and dedicated functions for jigging this is a specialty model for anglers who are seeking the best slow pitch reel on the market.
Lighter weight, increased sensitivity, higher strength
The idea of Ota Garage is woven into the material and shape of each part in the reel. Focusing on the elements of weight reduction, sensitivity improvement, and strength improvement. As a result, the ability of the reel to provide excellent feedback transmitted from the line from the spool to the handle knob without lag is second to none.
64 titanium parts
The 64 titanium alloy used in the Ota garage model is difficult-to-cut into shape and is very expensive and not available for other models due to the cost.
At OGM, by generously adopting this 64 titanium alloy for the handle shaft, spool shaft, and handle rivet, Studio Ocean Mark have achieved overwhelming weight reduction, increased sensitivity, and increased strength. The reel foot and handle bolt are also made of titanium.
Blanking frame
The side of the frame has been strengthened by the new bridge shape which has been boldly cut. The unique design is tested and does not cause stress during fishing for slow pitch jerk, which is often palmed with bare hands. The avant-garde frame design, which has resulted in a significant weight reduction, has the secondary effect of improving sensitivity, which is clearly different from its predecessor.
All carbon handle arm + carbon cap cork knob
The L80 uses domestically produced carbon material with a thickness of 6mm and the L50/30 has changed from 24t to a 36t carbon. This has resulted in the sensitivity of the arm alone has increased by about 1.8 times compared to aluminium.
In addition, the handle knob uses cork, which is lighter and more sensitive than EVA.
Carbon & cork is the strongest combination as a handle system for slow pitch jerk.
Stainless gears
The normal Blue Heaven has a drive gear made of high-strength brass due to its balance between durability and quietness. The OGM uses a stainless steel with high material hardness for even higher sensitivity.
Lever design
By changing the edge processing of the movable range of the drag lever, it is easier to locate the position where the operating the lever is situated. Designed for comfort so anglers can adjust the lever without having to look at the lever position.
G40 cork washer
A cork washer normally has a large uneven surface which is finished to a smooth surface by a special compression method.
In slow-pitch jigging which is often used at 1-3kg, it reduces a sticky drag and slipping at low tensions which was the weak point of cork washers. If you use high tension drag regularly, we recommend replacing the rubber cork washer of the same size.
AE cork knob
A grade high-quality natural cork is used for the AE (Air egg) knob, which has become a benchmark design for slow-pitch jigging. In addition, the front and rear caps are made of carbon material to increase sensitivity. The AE100 is installed on the L80, AE85 on the S2T model of the L50, AE100 on the PSG model, and AE85 on the L30.
Lever brake system
Jig fall speed control, a top angler's secret technique.
Expand the range of motion from the FREE position to the MIN position than the normal model. It is a cam setting that enables subtle brake control just before the MIN position where the drag washer and disc contact.
WPC+DLC processing
Surface lubrication treatment to reduce friction, WPC (surface modification) + DLC (diamond-like carbon) treatment has been applied to the surface of the spool shaft.
The texture of the lever operation has been improved along with the reliable spool slide.
