I wonder why they decided that ocea jigger to move into lever drags but I guess it's a nice option to have. What I see people don't like about this reel is its short handle, although you can crank faster but you will lack cranking power. If only shimano can come up with a solution to the 'binding issue' like accurate can, it would be awesome.

Do note that the previous older OJs also does not have the auto guider as mention by you. These reels are meant for big fish, the auto guider may not be able to guide fast enough when you retrieve the lines and it may break. I had seen reels sent for repair for the auto guides. When using this type of reel to retrieve lines you need to guide the line manually unless you get the super narrow spool like the Trinidad. Hang out in tackle shops more and you will know what I mean.

I would suggest that before you start commenting please do some homework like checking the reels in the internet.


Cheers

If you are able to access the internet it's like going to tackle shops.... You can drool over all the tackles.... Do a bit of finger job by searching the internet........
