Okuma Helios SX-40 Matrix Plus Soft Bait Combo 7ft 8-12kg 2pc

25% lighter, 1.5 times stronger and 100% anti-corrosive

The rod and reel matched for heavy-duty saltwater use, the Okuma Helios SX-40 Matrix Plus Soft Bait Combo is packed with features to provide corrosion protection, durability, light weight and the lifting power you need to take on any saltwater fish that comes your way.

The Reel
Especially designed for saltwater use the Okuma Helios SX-40 Saltwater Spinning Reel has a lightweight C-40X carbon frame and sideplates making it lighter, more durable and 100% anti-corrosive. The double arm design offers high torsion and flex resistance under heavy pressure for rigidity. Cyclonic Flow Rotor (CFR) allows airflow underneath the rotor for faster drying time to minimise corrosion. This reel also comes with 8HPB + 1RB corrosion resistant stainless steel bearings for smooth operation.

C-40X Carbon Fibre Technology
Okuma’s new C-40X long strand carbon fibre technology utilises a specially blended graphite polymer. The carbon fibres in this material are elongated and reinforced, creating a substantially stronger composite than standard graphite material. At 25% lighter, 1.5 times stronger and 100% anti-corrosive. C-40X translates into an extremely lightweight and durable construction.

CFR (Cyclonic Flow Rotor)
Cyclonic Flow Rotor (CFR) was designed to create "cyclonic" airflow, which significantly increases air flow through the ported rotor. This thoroughly tested design allows for a much faster drying time if the reel becomes wet, minimising corrosion possibility through out the reel. CFR also creates a lighter-weight and a more rigid rotor which reduces the flex and rotational coherence and creates a more precise mechanical operation.

TCA (Torsion Control Armor)
The one piece Torsion Control Armor (TCA) design made with Okuma long strand carbon fibre found on the new Inspira spinning reel is made with a double arm design which offers high torsion and flex resistance under heavy pressure for static strength. This not only makes the reel lighter but also makes the reel extremely rigid which reduces twist and torque and keeps the internal parts in perfect alignment.

CDB (Centrifugal Disc Bail)
Okuma's Centrifugal Disc Bail(CDB) is a unique new design that incorporates a heavier brass disc that is perfectly weighted and balanced to create a smoother and easier bail operation, while increasing the strength and stability of the overall bail function. The new Okuma technology of graphite bail arm with metal disc embedded also avoids risk of corrosion and electro difference between the bail wire and traditional zinc bail arm.

The Rod
The Okuma Rod Nano Matrix Plus Soft Bait Rod features the latest nano materials (resin) making it extra sensitive to feel every little thing that touches your bait under the water.
