okuma azores xp

Okuma Azores XP spinning reel is specifically designed for saltwater use, offering a combination of rigidity, power, and corrosion resistance built for the toughest fights and harshest marine conditions.

Its robust nature stems from the Alumilite Frame Construction (ALC), featuring a rigid die-cast aluminum body, side plate, and rotor. This structure ensures precise tolerances for gear alignment and exceptional durability. Reinforcing the internal mechanics is the patented Mechanical Stabilizing System (MSS), which stabilizes the spool shaft at three key stress points, eliminating flex under pressure and making the reel more durable and smoother than competitors.

The core of the power is the precision Dual Force Drag (DFD) System. By utilizing multi-disc Carbonite and felt drag washers, the DFD maximizes high-end drag pressure, efficiency, and overall smoothness while delivering maximum stopping power. Reliability is further ensured by the Hydro Block seal, which prevents water intrusion into the drag system.

For maximum longevity in saline environments, the Azores XP is equipped with 6 High-Performance Ball Bearings (HPB) made of stainless steel, which are 10 times more corrosion-resistant to saltwater than standard bearings. The High Density Gearing (HDGII) is also corrosion-resistant and protected by the CRC (Corrosion Resistant Coating) process on all internal and external parts.

Key Features:

Saltwater spinning reel for heavy-duty fishing.
Rigid die-cast aluminum body, side plate, and rotor (ALC).
Dual Force Drag (DFD) System with Carbonite and felt washers.
Mechanical Stabilizing System (MSS) to eliminate spool shaft flex.
Corrosion-resistant HDGII High Density Gearing and CRC process.
6 corrosion-resistant stainless steel HPB bearings + 1RB.
Dual anti-reverse (Quick-Set + Ratchet system) for maximum security (except size 40).
Hydro Block waterproof drag seal.
Machined aluminum spool with LCS lip for smooth casting.

Recommended for:

Heavy spinning, jigging, or bottom fishing anglers at sea.
Those seeking an extremely rigid reel (aluminum body) that is resistant to flex (MSS).
Those who want a powerful and stable drag (DFD) in a body fully protected from corrosion.

Okuma Cedros spinning reel is specifically engineered for saltwater use, combining a rigid design, great stopping power, and high corrosion resistance. It stands as one of the best reels on the market for sea fishing, catering to anglers who demand power and durability.

Its structure is based on the Litecast Blade body design with LITECAST® construction, which provides maximum strength and durability while being 15% lighter than previous models (Azores). The rigid, corrosion-resistant body houses a patented High-Density Gearing (HDGII) main gear with a special anti-corrosion coating (CRC) and a precision machine-cut brass pinion. The Gear Stabilization Design ensures super-smooth gear feel and perfect alignment.

The core of the reel's power is the robust Dual Force Drag (DFD) System. This unique system uses both spool surfaces with multiple felt washers and a secondary system mounted underneath the spool, ensuring maximum stability and a significantly increased drag output compared to traditional single systems. The DFD is protected by the Hydro Block seal, which prevents water intrusion.

For reliability at sea, the Cedros features 6 High-Performance Ball Bearings (HPB) made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, a dual anti-reverse (Quick-Set and ratchet system), and a manual bail trip function to ensure maximum reliability and reduce line twists. The reel is completed with a high-speed gear ratio, a two-tone anodized aluminum spool, and a machined aluminum screw-in handle for direct contact and optimal cranking power.

Key Features:

High-speed saltwater spinning reel.
Rigid and light LITECAST® construction (15% lighter).
Dual Force Drag (DFD) System with multi-disc felt for maximum stability and power.
High-Density Gearing (HDGII) and CRC (Corrosion Resistant Coating).
6 corrosion-resistant stainless steel HPB bearings + 1RB (dual anti-reverse).
Manual bail trip function for maximum reliability.
Machined aluminum screw-in handle.
Gear Stabilization Design for smooth and durable gearing.

Recommended for:

Saltwater spinning, jigging, and light trolling anglers who need a fast gear ratio reel.
Those who require high braking power (DFD) and an extremely rigid frame.
Those seeking a durable and reliable reel in aggressive marine environments.

Okuma Salina spinning reel is specifically designed and optimized for saltwater use, combining a rigid design with extreme stopping power. It is the ideal choice for anglers seeking a robust, light, and reliable reel for the saltwater game.

Strength and lightness are ensured by the LITECAST® construction, a design that offers the rigidity and durability of aluminum but is 15% lighter than previous Azores reels. This robust frame is the foundation for the Salina's incredible drag power.

The heart of the power is the Carbonite Dual Force Drag (DFD) System, which maximizes braking pressure by engaging both spool surfaces simultaneously, reaching an impressive maximum power of 20 kg (44 lbs). This system is protected by the Hydro Block seal and uses Cal's Drag Grease, ensuring stability and smoothness. The Gear Stabilization Design supports the pinion gear at 3 points, maintaining perfect alignment even under heavy loads.

To maximize durability in marine environments, the Salina is equipped with 6 high-performance stainless steel ball bearings (HPB) that resist corrosion and benefits from the CRC (Corrosion Resistant Coating) process. The Even Flow Roller (EFR II) with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating reduces line friction and prevents wear. The anodized aluminum spool, the machined aluminum screw-in handle with a custom round knob, and the manual bail trip function for maximum reliability complete this top-tier reel.

Key Features:

Spinning reel designed specifically for saltwater use.
LITECAST® construction for rigidity and reduced weight.
Carbonite Dual Force Drag (DFD) System with a maximum power of 20 kg (44 lbs).
HDGII high-density gearing and Gear Stabilization Design.
6 stainless steel HPB bearings and CRC (Corrosion Resistant Coating) process.
EFR II roller with DLC coating (Diamond-Like Carbon).
Machined aluminum screw-in handle and manual bail trip function.
Dual anti-reverse (Quick-Set and Ratchet system).

Recommended for:

Anglers practicing heavy spinning, jigging, or popping at sea.
Those who need a reel with extreme drag power (20 kg) and exceptional robustness.
Those seeking a reel with maximum corrosion resistance and a smooth, stable retrieve.
