Studio Ocean Mark Blue Heaven BH5 Pw
Advanced Model | 2026
The Blue Heaven BH5 Pw is the Power Gear version of Studio Ocean Mark’s new mid-size lever drag reel. Built as the advanced successor to the BHL50, the BH5 Pw prioritises torque and controlled power while incorporating the same upgraded waterproofing and refined features found on the Hi model.
Key Features
• Power Gear System Lower gear ratio designed for stronger winding force and better control when working heavier jigs or fighting powerful fish.
• New Drag Click System The world’s first lever drag reel with a true drag-click mechanism. Silent during retrieve and free spool — the click only activates when the drag is working.
• Drag Power Memory Ring (Standard) Clearly marked ring that shows drag force at each click position, allowing precise and repeatable drag settings during a fight.
• Refined L-Shaped Drag Lever Improved fingertip control and reduced risk of line tangles.
• Carbon & Stainless Composite Drag System Smooth engagement, strong heat dissipation, and consistent performance under sustained load.
• Easy Spool Replacement System Fast spool changes even on a moving boat.
Advanced Waterproofing System
The BH5 Pw features the same multi-point waterproof structure developed from Studio Ocean Mark’s flagship OGM100 technology:
• Rubber waterproof cap fully covering the angular contact ball bearing
• Oil seal on the handle shaft
• Spool cap to prevent water intrusion around the spool
• Waterproof trap on the spool shaft
These sealing measures reduce saltwater penetration into critical rotating components while maintaining the smooth, sensitive feel Blue Heaven is known for. Particularly valuable for anglers fishing from small and medium-sized boats where constant wave splash and salt spray are common.
When to Choose BH5 Pw vs BH5 Hi
BH5 Hi (6.3:1 / 110 cm) – Recommended for most situations
The Hi model is the best all-round choice for the majority of Mediterranean boat fishing. It offers a faster retrieve, making it more versatile for standard jigging depths, active fish, and everyday use. For most anglers fishing mid-size jigs in typical conditions, the Hi version is the recommended option.
BH5 Pw (5.3:1 / 93 cm) – Best for specific high-load situations
Choose the Power Gear version when you need extra torque and control. Ideal for:
• Heavier jigs (especially in deeper water)
• Stronger fish that require more winding power
• Situations where a slower, more controlled retrieve is preferred
• Anglers who prioritise torque over speed
In short:
→ Normal conditions and general use → Choose BH5 Hi
→ Heavier loads, deeper water, or maximum power → Choose BH5 Pw
Ideal Applications (BH5 Pw)
• Mediterranean boat jigging with heavier jigs
• Amberjack, dentex, bluefish, and mid-size tuna
• Deeper or high-resistance fishing scenarios
• Small to medium centre-console and charter boats
• Anglers seeking improved saltwater durability with a torque-focused gear ratio
The Blue Heaven BH5 Pw is built for anglers who specifically need extra winding power in demanding conditions. With its lower gear ratio, upgraded sealing system, and refined drag features, it offers a strong, controlled option for serious Mediterranean boat fishing — while the Hi model remains the preferred choice for most everyday situations.
