Flight Gear – Advanced forged one-piece aluminum gear engineering redefines the standards of strength, agility, and precision.

Flight Gear boasts a strength that surpasses conventional aluminum counterparts through a meticulous forging process while retaining the hallmark trait of aluminum – its lightweight nature – ensuring optimal performance without compromising on efficiency. To achieve ultimate precision, each gear is forged then machine cut with exacting standards to guarantees seamless gear engagement resulting in an exceptionally smooth feeling with every turn of the handle.

HDG+ – Building upon the solid foundation of the renowned HDGII, HDG+ sets a new standard
with a minimum of 7% increase in size, enhanced strength, and a higher gear ratio, HDG+ is engineered to be the most all-around gear on the market.

ALG – With today’s super braided lines & lighter more compact reels, ALG offers anglers lighter weight gears without compromising on strength & durability. Adding to their longevity, ALG gears are anodized to hold up to the elements much better than traditional gearing materials.

Gearing Stabilization System – Ultimate pinion gear support with ball bearings from top to
bottom offers unparalleled stability and durability.

FliteDrive – In standard reels, when the main shaft is moved up and down, a large area of friction is generated with the inner hole of the pinion gear, which causes you to feel resistance when turning. To reduce drag and achieve the lightness of rotation, we hollowed out the center of the pinion gear to reduce friction with the shaft. This change helps create a zero inertia start up and an incredibly light feel when turning the handle.

Torsion Control Armour – The Torsion Control Armor (TCA) design found on the new Inspria spinning reels is made with Okuma’s C-40X long-strand carbon fiber technology. This not only makes the reel lighter, but also makes the reel extremely rigid which reduces twist & torque, keeping the internal parts in perfect alignment.

Alumlite Frame Construction – AlumiLite construction incorporates Okuma’s rigid aluminum body technology on spinning, trolling and fly reel designs. Aluminum frames are stronger and more rigid and are capable of withstanding more pressure and torque than traditional graphite frames.
These lightweight, diecast aluminum frames provide more precise tolerances for precision gear alignment, maximum castability and ultimate durability.

C-40X – Okuma’s C-40X carbon technology utilizes a specially blended graphite polymer. The carbon fibers in this material are elongated & reinforced, creating a substantially stronger composite than
standard graphite materials. At 25% lighter, 1.5 times stronger & 100% anti-corrosive, C-40X translates into an extremely lightweight & durable construction.

Litecast – LITECAST™ is the latest in Okuma’s reel technology. Reels with the Litecast™ structure are composed using a magnesium material in the casting process, making the integrity of the reel
incredibly strong & 15% lighter than aluminum alloy reels. Okuma Cedros Saltwater Spinning Reels feature the new Litecast™ construction.

Cyclonic Flow Rotor – The Cyclonic Flow Rotor (CFR) was designed to create a “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, minimizing corrosion possibilities throughout the reel.

Centrifugal Disc Bail – Okuma’s Centrifugal Disc Bail (CDB) is a unique new design that incorporates a heavier brass disc that is perfectly weighted & balanced to create a smoother & easier bail operation, while increasing the strength & stability of the overall bail function.

Spinning Reel Dual Force Drag – DFD incorporates both surfaces of the spool to maximize high-end drag pressure, efficiency & overall smoothness. Mounted in the top of the spool & protected by the Hydro Block system is a multi-disc felt drag system that works in conjunction with a secondary drag system that is mounted under the spool. Even pressure is applied to both surfaces of the spool for maximum stability.

Baitfeeding system – Okuma’s baitfeeding system allows anglers to disengage their spinning reel spool & allow their bait to run freely. The baitfeeding system incorporates a secondary micro-adjustable
drag system at the rear of the reel that allows for precise adjustment of the spool for bait control. In order to disengage this system simply turn the handle. The On/Off lever on the rear of the reel will automatically disengage the baitfeeding system so you can fight your fish with the main drag system.

Precision Elliptical Gearing System – The Precision Elliptical Gearing System advantage boils down to one thing & one thing only – performance. By regulating the speed of the spindle stroke, reels equipped with this system wind line more consistently & uniformly on the spool, resulting in level line lay. This creates less friction during casting for increased distance, greater accuracy & longer line life, as well as smoother, more uniform drag pressures. Pick up any Okuma reel equipped with this feature & feel for yourself the balance, smoothness & power that are all characteristics of the Precision Elliptical Gearing System.

Hydro Block – The Hydro Block design features a rubber gasket mounted in the top of a spinning reel spool. This rubber seal blocks water & foreign materials from entering the drag system. The Hydro Block system ensures that your drag washers always perform at optimal levels.

Quick-Set – This system allows for instant handle engagement & eliminates all handle back play commonly found in many reels. This is accomplished by using a corrosion- resistant stainless steel roller bearing that engages the reel in one direction for rock-solid hook sets.

EFR II – The Even Flow Roller System utilizes a ball bearing under the line roller to maximize efficiency. This roller helps reduce line twists by freely rolling over the line roller without friction. Without this system, line will naturally twist when drag is pulled.

Diamond- Like Carbon – The EFR II with DLC coating minimizes line friction, facilitating a smoother movement of the fishing line over its polished surface. As a result, this feature not only extends the
lifespan of the fishing line but also prevents line twist.

High Performance Bearings – The balls used on the HPB’s are constructed from the same high-grade stainless steel material as the bearing housing. These bearings were designed to be more than 10 times more resistant to saltwater than standard stainless steel bearings. These bearings may even outlast the angler himself.

Torsion Control Armor – AL – The brand-new TCA-AL features an advanced aluminum construction, setting it apart from the previous TCA. The new TCA-AL is 5 times stronger than TCA. It excels with its elevated torsion and flex resistance, ensuring exceptional stability even under intense pressure.
