Studio Ocean Mark's OGM Blue Heaven L100Pw/L represents SOM's top-of-the-line reel, a jigging reel designed and assembled entirely according to the Japanese artisanal philosophy of STUDIO OCEAN MARK, delivering the highest level of precision, sensitivity and durability ever achieved in the Blue Heaven series. Developed within the SOM Factory, the assembly facility founded in 2021, this model represents the ultimate evolution of the OGM concept, featuring a thorough revision of materials, geometries, and construction techniques compared to the standard Blue Heaven L100. At the heart of the reel is the stainless-steel Dynamic Gear, developed with a cutting line dedicated exclusively to SOM: the drive gear and pinion engage in a smooth and progressive manner, distributing load across the entire tooth surface. The result is a powerful, fluid and "dynamic" transmission, accompanied by a distinctive white noise that evolves with use, adapting to the angler's retrieve style and improving over time. The compact gearbox, reduced by 3 mm compared to the standard model, ensures exceptional handling despite the wide spool. The right/left asymmetrical frame, machined from solid stock, optimizes ergonomics and structural rigidity, while the double-supported pinion and angular contact bearing with a waterproof cap guarantee stable, precise rotation and outstanding resistance to saltwater. The lever drag system has been further refined: the travel between FREE and MIN has been extended to allow extremely fine control during the most delicate phases of the fight. The L-shaped carbon drag lever, lightened and stiffened, is assembled using the traditional Japanese kamatsugi technique (without screws) for absolute solidity. The "Lead" design of the gearbox allows the lever position to be identified intuitively, even without looking at the reel. The new 105 mm offset handle, made from 36-ton high-elasticity carbon, delivers maximum torsional and flexural rigidity, improving control, jigging stroke amplitude, and cranking power. The AE100 cork knob with carbon cap ensures extreme sensitivity, ideal for detecting even the subtlest feedback transmitted by PE line. Numerous critical components (12 mm main shaft, spool shaft, and handle rivet) are manufactured from Grade 64 titanium, while the reel foot and handle bolt use high-elasticity titanium alloys to dramatically reduce weight without compromising strength. The spool, featuring simplified waterproofing, guarantees excellent free-spool performance and maximum bearing protection during retrieval. Completing the package are the forged and fully machined aluminum body, round bridge, G40 cork drag washers, aluminum drag plate with Alcon grease, and a design focused on ease of maintenance, supported by the official Blue Heaven guide. The OGM Blue Heaven 100 SOM Factory is the ultimate choice for the demanding angler seeking an ultra-high-performance, sensitive and reliable jigging reel, capable of transmitting every minute vibration and facing the most extreme offshore challenges without compromise!
