Okuma Azores spinning reels, the Z-55S, Z-65S and Z-80S, are the results of a multi-year engineering review that achieves higher 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 it’s within the interior that Azores gains massive separation from competitors. Dual anti-reverse systems, oversized stainless-steel spool shaft and a massive forged spool shaft sleeve deliver incredible strength while a 3-piece Mechanical Stabilization System stops electrolysis in its tracks.
