Okuma Azores Z-55s FD 6+1bb
All-new Okuma Azores spinning reels are the results of a multi-year engineering review that achieves new 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.

ALUMILITE FRAME CONSTRUCTION
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.

CARBONITE
These highly efficient carbon fibre drag washers decrease
friction as drag pressure and spool velocity increases.
The heat dissipating properties found on these
US made drag washers produce one of the smoothest,
most precise and longest lasting drag systems available
in the fishing tackle industry.

CRC: Corrosion Resistant Coating
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: DUAL FORCE DRAG SYSTEM
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.

HDGII
Okuma’s proprietary High Density Gearing II incorporates
an extremely strong alloy composition with a
special anti-corrosion coating process. The result is
high density, corrosion resistant gears that are built to
handle the severe elements and brutal strains placed
on a reel’s internal gear system.

HYDRO BLOCK
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.

PEG: PRECISION ELLIPTICAL GEARING
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.
