Okuma Azores Blue spinning reels are designed specifically for heavy saltwater fishing. With the proven power features and the patented interior design, Azores are much more durable, strong and smoother than other reels in their class.
These reels have been designed with one goal - Provide confidence-inspiring performance to anglers who regulalry tangle with large, aggressive fish species. Ideally suited to throwing large lures or drifting out large baits, Azores Blue offer huge amounts of smooth, controllable drag. Over-engineered internals provide the grunt to stop tough fighters, while high-capacity spools ensure enough line is available to handle long runs.
