Description

The Okuma Tesoro LDJ Jigging Reels are purpose-built for anglers who demand refined performance and reliability in deep-drop or vertical jigging environments. Designed with a compact, ergonomic frame and constructed from high-grade machined aluminum, the Tesoro LDJ series strikes a perfect balance between brute strength and lightweight handling. These reels are ideal for those targeting powerful bottom-dwelling species where torque and control are essential.

Rugged Build with Corrosion Resistance

At the heart of the Tesoro LDJ is a rigid 6061-T6 machined aluminum frame and side plates, providing a solid foundation that can withstand immense pressure during extended battles. Coupled with a Type-II anodized finish, these reels are built to resist corrosion from saltwater exposure. A 17-4 grade stainless steel main and pinion gear system enhances both strength and smoothness, offering long-term durability even under punishing loads.

High-Performance Drag and Gearing

These reels feature Okumas multi-disc Carbonite drag system, which is backed by Cals universal drag grease for consistent and reliable drag pressure throughout the fight. With up to 22 pounds of maximum drag and an efficient 6.4:1 gear ratio, the Tesoro LDJ ensures rapid line recovery and the stopping power needed for large game fish. The single-speed configuration offers simplicity and strength, while the oversized power handle delivers excellent cranking leverage.

Jigging-Optimized Features

Every component of the Tesoro LDJ has been tailored to the demands of vertical jigging. Its narrow profile and ergonomic design make it comfortable to palm and easy to manage during repetitive jigging motions. The spool is specifically engineered to reduce line friction and improve drop speed, while the dual anti-reverse system ensures immediate hooksets without slop. Additionally, the reel includes a patented thumb bar spool release system and instant engage functionality, allowing for fast drops and quick conversions from free spool to fight mode.

Reliability in Saltwater Conditions

Designed for serious offshore use, the Tesoro LDJ utilizes a 6+1 stainless steel bearing system thats corrosion-resistant and tuned for smooth operation. The mechanical stabilization system (MSS) keeps critical components aligned under pressure, extending the life of the internal gearing. Whether fishing for amberjack, snapper, or grouper, this reel provides the strength and finesse needed to dominate the deep.
