Okuma Azores Spinning Reel – Size 40, is the result of a multi-year engineering review that achieves levels of strength and stability. Azores begin with proven power features including die-cast aluminum body, side plate and rotor, machine cut pinion gear and the Okuma Dual Force Drag system that churns out up to 44-pounds of max drag. But within the interior is where Azores gains massive separation from competitors. Dual anti-reverse systems, massive oversized spool shaft and grease-packed stainless steel bearings deliver incredible strength while 3-piece carbon fiber Mechanical Stabilization System stops electrolysis in its tracks.
