OKUMA Azores XP represents the evolution of saltwater fishing, combining structural robustness and advanced technologies in a spinning reel specifically designed for marine demands. This professional reel integrates engineering solutions that guarantee superior performance and prolonged durability in marine environments, from shore fishing to light offshore jigging.
The structural heart of the Azores XP lies in the Alumilite (ALC) construction with rigid die-cast aluminum body, side plate, and rotor, providing precise tolerances for precision gear alignment and maximum casting capacity. This architecture guarantees superior rigidity compared to traditional graphite frames, supporting high pressures during fights with marine predators.
The patented MSS (Mechanical Stabilization System) in carbon stabilizes the spool shaft at 3 key stress points, completely eliminating flex under pressure. This exclusive design makes the reel more durable, robust, and smooth compared to competition, ensuring perfect alignment even with extreme loads.
The revolutionary DFD (Dual Force Drag) precision system incorporates multi-disc washers in Carbonite and felt, maximizing high-range braking pressure with superior overall efficiency and smoothness. The precision click drag adjustment allows millimetric settings, while the Hydro Block waterproof seal protects the system from water infiltration.
The HDGII gears (High Density Gears II) corrosion-resistant with CRC process (Corrosion Resistant Coating) offer exceptional anti-corrosive properties. The Corrosion X HD coating on all internal and external parts penetrates and bonds to metal, ensuring long-term protection from saltwater and marine spray.
6 HPB bearings in stainless steel + 1 roller bearing, designed to be over 10 times more resistant to corrosion than standard bearings, ensure extreme smoothness and superior longevity. The dual anti-reverse system (Quick-Set + ratchet) guarantees maximum security and instant hooksets.
The machined aluminum spool two-tone anodized with LCS lip optimizes capacity and line release, while the machined aluminum handle arm and precision-cut brass pinion gear complete a professional design that unites performance and reliability. Perfect for inshore fishing, light tackle, spinning dalla barca, and all saltwater techniques requiring balance between power and maneuverability.
