Design, Drive, Drag and Durability

It sets a standard that will advance the ability and redefine the expectations of tournament crews, long-range anglers and private boaters.

Machined Rigid Frame
Okuma's Machined Rigid Frame construction incorporates a 1-piece fully-machined aluminium frame. These rigid bar-stock aluminium frames are the ultimate in precision alignment and tolerances withstanding more pressure and torque than any other material used in the industry for frame materials. Okuma features these anodised frames on fly reels, baitcast reels, lever drag reels and star drag trolling reels.

T-Bar Handle
The patented design of the T-Bar handle offers a true ergonomically correct angle to ensure you get maximum power with minimum fatigue. The T-bar takes full advantage of the natural dynamics of the human hand, wrist and forearm to help sustain power and endurance for the angler.

2-Speed Gearing
Okuma's 2-speed technology incorporates two sets of stainless steel main and pinion gears, allowing you the option of a high-speed gear ratio or a powerful low-speed gear ratio for maximum power and torque. To shift gears it's as easy as pushing a button or popping a lever with Okuma's unique shifting design to obtain the appropriate gear ratio you desire.
