The Shakespeare SALT Surf reels are available in the two most popular surf sizes and both have been fitted with a large line capacity spool and spare spool. This allows you to cast the kinds of distance that you require to reach out far beyond the surf, reaching fish that lay past the breakers. The lightweight anodized aluminium spool is supported by a smooth operating drag system which allows you to lock down when casting. Next to that, the 7+1 stainless steel ball bearing system in combination with the strong gearing ensures you of a perfectly smooth operation. Due to the anti-twist line-roller the reels can handle all line types, whether you prefer mono or braid, this reel can handle it all.

Okuma Reel features

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.

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

The revolutionary design is patented in a number
of countries around the world and is the soul of the
Okuma mid to upper-end spinning reel range. The
Precision Elliptical Gearing design uses elliptical
shaped oscillation gears which provide exceptional
line lay, improved smoothness and maximum long-life
durability. The gears are always engaged and provide
a very smoothspool stroke, eliminating the spool from
jumping as commonly found on many reels.

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

The RES II System stands for Rotor Equalizing
System. This second-generation RES System incorporates
a computer-balanced weight precisely
placed in the rotor. This weight allows for precision
balance and eliminates all spool wobble for perfect
alignments and smooth cranking.
