Oceanfreaks Captcha 50HG
Following the successive apprearance and overwhelm acceptance of Oceanfreaks Captch60HG and 30HG by the slow jigging enthusiasts in Japan, we will soon adding a new member in our Captcha family in the form of Captcha 50HG come 2018 Autumn. Why did we decide to introduce 50HG into the family? Below are the reasons:-
First and foremost, our slogan for Captcha series is ‘light but powerful’. The resaon for Captcha to be light weight is because it is a slow jigging dedicated reel. Tackle used for slow jigging must be balanced, so there is no purpose to increase the reel tougness by adding thickness and weight to it. Normally we will use maximum PE 4 braided line for slow jigging, so if we retrrive the line forcefully during a fight with a moster, our braided line will break off before we damage the reel. Therefore it serves no purpose to design the reel frame to be over strudy and stout.
The material selected for our reel frame is aluminum. With unique processing tehnology, our reel frame display better quality and toughness. In addition, our reel have a very simple internal structure. This is done not for cost reduction, rather we realise that the more parts are used to build a reel, the higher chances malfunction will occurred on the reel. Other brand may require 3 to 4 parts to build the drive gear, but we have managed to build with 2 parts to achieve the same, if not better drive gear performance. This is achieve through hardwork and dedication on researce and experiment!
So what does it means by “powerful”? Powerful in this regards refers to the design of the reel structure, gear ratio, spool diameter, bearing sizes and handle length. By matching these components cleverly, we have produce a reel that is effortless but high in line retrieving capability. High retrive capabiity will ensure that energy will pass on to the jig to make it dance lively, effortless will reduce our physical stress when jigging.
Although 60HG and 30HG differs in their size, but they both possess the same features mentioned above. The new 50HG is no exception!
So when and where do we use these reels? For 30HG, its line capacity is 600 meter of PE2. Based on this, we can determine that it is best suited for any form of slow jigging within 100m water depth. Should we hooked up big fish in shallow water, 30HG have enough capabiliy to fight and land it. 60HG is best suited for water depth above 200 meter. Its capacity can reach 1200 meter of PE3 line. Due to its large spool diameter, 60HG has higher line retrieve capability. Lower gear ratio ensures effortless line retrieval. Retrieving heavy jig in deep water is easier compare to using other brand. High drag and torque power lets you conquer your monster fish with ease.
50HG is consider the lightest and strongest among the middle class range. The main battle field for slow jigging is at water depth 100 to 200 meter. This water column lives most monsters and you can rely on 50HG to deliver the results you want.
50HG is design for you to hold comfortably. It holds 600 meter of PE3 line yet its self weight is only 560g. More important is 50HG is double drag. The advantage of double drag is that drag force is distributed equally and can last longer. Therefore even if your opponent is yellow fin tuna, 50HG has enough line capacity to meets its crazy run and enough drag to wear it down. However, although 50HG is an outstanding reel, it is still in different class as compare to 60HG. When fishing in monsters ground at 160 meter above, 60HG is still a better choice for its larger spool size and higher drag, which results in longer line retrival per crank and power to battle stubborn fish.
We should not judge a reel by its look. A reel should be judged by its internal functions’ performance. A reel’s performance is derives from the hard work of research and development of slow jigging professional angler. The determination and selection of reel functions critical for slow jigging is the results of detailed research and development efforts. We are confident because Oceanfreaks is slow jigging dedicated brand from Japan
