Is there a connection too between JM, maxel and studio ocean mark? Here the main difference seems to be, that blue heaven is using a double anti reverse ball bearing instead of the combination of double dog and one anti reverse bearing. Is the JM a common development of JM and maxel? Who knows the whole story?Īnother fact is that the JM internally looks very near to the blue heaven L120 (google for the review from Alan Tani), which was first buildt in 2006, so far as I know. The pictures are from 2009, the time JM goes with it's reels to US market and show some prototypes (on another reel there is written "jigging master tested"). On the 5th picture you can see on the left side a reel on that is written "maxel". But then someone detects the picture on sportfisherman forum: The only important difference is that the lever of the crank is 80mm vs 90mm for pe4.īecause JM is well known, but maxel (a joint venture of chinese and american people, located at Hongkong) is not, the majority suppose that the maxel is the clone and JM is the original.īut there are doubts, because maxel produces reels since 2003 and JM since 2009 and there are reels from 2007, that looks a bit like the JM's. Even the linearity of drag pressure from free to full is the same. I measure a drag capability of 45lbs with only a minor binding effect. Both reels have the same dual drag and the combination of a double dog and anti reverse ball bearing. The osl has the same dimensions as the pe4, this is true even for the bearings, gears and the spool shaft. If you've never heard of Maxel, you may have heard of Jigging Master Reels.I'm in the same german forum as miwidomi and I have had the opportunity to compare a osl06d and a pe6.īeside the fact, that the pe6 is the bigger reel (a correct comparision would be between the osl06d and pe4) the reels are more or less equal.
