Why the SJ500W Feels Different
A good jigging reel needs strength.
A great jigging reel needs controlled strength.
The SJ500W is engineered with a wide, smooth lever drag range, allowing anglers to make fine drag adjustments during the fight without sudden jumps or harsh pressure changes.
The Japanese carbon drag washers deliver consistent drag pressure, while the dual drag system helps maintain power, balance and control under heavy load.
The result is a reel that feels powerful, smooth and predictable from free spool to strike and through the upper drag range.
Five Core Advantages
1. Exceptionally Smooth Lever Drag
The SJ500W features a long, progressive lever drag range designed for precise control.
Instead of a short, aggressive drag curve, the lever movement feels smooth and gradual, giving anglers more confidence when adjusting pressure during a fight.
This is especially important when using braid, lighter leaders or slow pitch rods where sudden drag spikes can cost fish.
2. Powerful Dual Drag System
The SJ500W delivers up to 30kg of maximum drag through a strong dual drag system.
The key advantage is not only power, but how that power is delivered.
Smooth pressure, strong stopping ability and excellent control make the SJ500W suitable for hard-fighting offshore species and deep-water jigging situations.
Maximum Drag: 30kg
3. Precision CNC Aluminium Construction
The reel is built around a precision CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminium one-piece frame.
The cold forged aluminium spool and CNC-machined side plates provide excellent rigidity, strength and alignment under heavy load.
This solid construction helps the reel stay smooth and stable when fighting powerful fish.
4. Premium Internal Components
The SJ500W uses Japanese carbon drag washers, stainless steel gears, 9+2 stainless steel bearings and precision-machined internal components.
These parts work together to create smooth cranking, strong power transfer and dependable long-term performance in demanding saltwater environments.
5. Built for Real Jigging Work
The SJ500W is designed for vertical jigging, not casual fishing.
The long CNC aluminium handle provides extra leverage, while the aluminium CNC jigging knob gives excellent grip and control when working heavy jigs or fighting fish under load.

2. What fish species is the SJ500W designed for?
The SJ500W is ideal for targeting kingfish, amberjack, dogtooth tuna, yellowtail, grouper and other powerful offshore reef species where smooth drag performance and strong cranking power are essential.
3. How much drag does the SJ500W produce?
The SJ500W delivers up to 30kg of maximum drag through its advanced dual drag system. More importantly, the drag remains smooth and progressive throughout the fighting range, helping anglers maintain better control over powerful fish.
4. Why is a long lever drag range important?
A longer lever drag range allows more precise drag adjustments during a fight. Instead of sudden pressure changes, anglers can fine-tune drag settings more accurately, especially when using braided line, lighter leaders or slow pitch jigging rods.
5. What line capacity does the SJ500W have?
The SJ500W holds approximately:
• PE6 – 420m
• PE8 – 330m
This provides excellent line capacity for deep-water jigging and offshore fishing.
6. Is the reel suitable for saltwater use?
Yes. The SJ500W features a CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminium frame, CNC aluminium side plates, stainless steel gears and corrosion-resistant components designed specifically for harsh offshore saltwater environments.
7. Is the SJ500W smooth under heavy load?
