DNG JIGGING REELS
– a leader in jig fishing innovation

DNG jigging reels have made a deep impact on the development of jig fishing over the past decades, ever since the first DNG reel was introduced in 1985. The first C6000i model was launched in 1995 and has since served as the foundation for continuous innovation and refinement.

The R1 reel is the result of decades of development, research, and design — created with the goal of delivering the most efficient jigging reel on the market. Equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity, regular software updates, and precise depth analysis, it ensures reliability and high performance.

That’s why the R1 reel stands today as an industry leader — a trusted tool for fishermen around the world.

Power, durability and environmental benefits

The R1 jigging reel delivers higher performance with lower energy consumption — and operates almost silently. It is fully waterproof and built from salt-resistant aluminum and stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting durability even under the toughest conditions.


Preset fishing modes for cod, saithe, mackerel and other species are built in, and users can also create their own customized settings. The reel releases the line, detects the seabed, and jigs automatically until a fish bites. When the fish strikes, the reel stops and hauls it in automatically.


Pollution and gear loss are minimal, and the environmental impact on marine ecosystems is negligible.

The R1 jigging reel combines maximum performance with user-friendly operation. It runs on both 12V and 24V power systems with minimal energy consumption — yet delivers exceptional power and efficiency.


It is fully waterproof, equipped with Wi-Fi communication between reels, and features a high-resolution display that gives the user precise control and overview. With built-in fishing modes for popular species and an advanced fish detection system, fishing becomes easier and more targeted.


Users can also create custom settings, tailoring the reel to their own fishing methods. Its silent operation and robust construction make it the perfect tool for demanding conditions at sea.


Technical excellence

With the R1 Manager application, you gain complete control and oversight of all jigging reels on board — directly from the wheelhouse. Each reel is identified by a serial number, and users can also rename the reels after connecting them for easier operation.


All reels connected to the same network appear in the application, making it simple to monitor their status and adjust settings. If any issue arises, the connection can be reset or the reel software updated directly through the app.


This provides fishermen with a convenient, user-friendly solution for managing their equipment at sea.
