Baitfeeder reels are supremely functional for saltwater anglers and quickly growing in popularity among freshwater anglers. Especially those going after trout or catfish, where you need to make sure the fish has a solid hold of the bait before setting the hook. Okuma refined the basic baitfeeding reel and improved it to produce a truly superior Reel. Okuma's Ceymar baitfeeding system allows you to disengage the spool to allow the bait to run freely. It also incorporates a secondary micro-adjustable drag system at the rear of the Reel that allows for precise adjustment of the spool for bait control. To disengage, simply turn the handle. The on/off lever at the rear will automatically disengage the baitfeeding system so you can fight your fish and bring 'em in with the main drag system. 7BB+1RB stainless steel bearings On/off auto-trip baitfeeding system Multi-disc, Japanese oiled-felt drag washers Quick-Set anti-reverse bearing Precision machine-cut brass pinion gear Corrosion-resistant graphite body and rotor CFR: Cyclonic Flow Rotor technology Precision Elliptical Gearing System Rigid metal handle design for strength Machined aluminum, 2-tone anodized spool with LCS lip Heavy-duty solid aluminum bail wire
