Okuma Raw II 40FD 7+1bb
As the leader in delivering best-in-class spinning reel performance to anglers of all levels, Okuma Fishing Tackle’s all-new Raw II saltwater spinning reels once again raise the bar. Constructed from a proprietary, highly corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy and featuring Okuma’s Dual Force Drag system with a completely carbon fiber drag stack, Raw II spinning reels take on both the toughest species and harshest environments.
Traditional aluminum alloys rely upon their anodizing to protect them from the corrosive properties of saltwater. Much of the effort in the industry has been placed upon furthering the resistance of the coatings to salt, rather than focusing on the weaknesses of the base material. Raw II spinning reels showcase the release of Okuma’s proprietary T480 aluminum alloy. A completely new, completely unique aluminum alloy, non-anodized T480 shows zero structural damage after 480 hours of continuous saturated salt spray, a timeline on which standard aluminums reach the point of catastrophic failure. Further protected by an anodized base layer, a painted surface layer and the Okuma Corrosion Resistant Coating process, Raw II spinning reels deliver a lifespan many times longer than traditional aluminum, providing avid anglers an aluminum frame and all-aluminum rotor system that will last a lifetime. RAW II spinning reels feature:
- AlumiLite: Aluminum body and sideplate construction

Okuma Reel features
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.
Corrosion Resistant Coating combines Okuma’s
proprietary HDG-II gearing system, which offers
exceptional anti-corrosive properties compared to
standard gears, with a coating of Corrosion X HD to
all internal and external parts. The CRC process actually
penetrates and bonds to the metal, which helps
significantly toward long term protection.
DFD incorporates both surfaces of the spool to maximize
high-end drag pressure, efficiency and overall smoothness.
Mounted in the top of the spool and 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.
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.
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.
