Saltwater anglers, the Okuma Salina Litecast is built tough for everything from light inshore to heavy offshore fishing! The LITECAST body is 15% lighter than traditional die-cast aluminum, so you can fish longer without arm fatigue. With a 6HPB +1RB corrosion-resistant stainless steel bearing system and waterproof seals on key bearings, this reel can handle the saltwater environment without complaining. The Hybrid Carbonite and Japanese felt Dual Force Drag system puts out over 33 pounds of stopping power - enough to turn big fish when it counts. The HDGII high-density main gear and precision machine-cut brass pinion gear deliver smooth retrieves cast after cast. The 5.8:1 gear ratio in the SA-5000Ha gives you plenty of speed for quick retrieves when needed. The machined aluminum screw-in handle arm with two-tone anodized ball handle knob looks as good as it performs. What's really handy is the interchangeable handle system that lets you switch from right to left-hand retrieve in seconds. Whether you're chasing striped bass, redfish, snook, or heading offshore for bigger game, this reel has the durability and features to handle it. Okuma knows saltwater fishing, and it shows in every detail of this well-engineered reel.
