OKUMA AZORES

TECHNOLOGY

HIGH PERFORMANCE BEARING

The bearings are more than 10 times more resistant to saltwater than standard stainless steel bearings and even outlast the angler himself.

DUAL FORCE DRAG

Maximize high-end drag pressure, efficiency and overall smoothness.

MECHANICAL STABILIZING SYSTEM

Patented design stabilizes the spool shaft at 3 key stress points to eliminate flex under pressure - reel is more durable, strong and smoother than the competition.
