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 their Reels even further with the Avenger ABF series. You'll find upgraded features and better performance in these next-level Reels. Okuma's 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 on the rear will automatically disengage the baitfeeding system so you can fight your fish and bring 'em in with the main drag system. 6 + 1RB stainless steel bearing system Multi-disc, Japanese oiled felt drag system Quick-Set anti-reverse roller bearing Precision machine-cut brass pinion gear On/off auto-trip baitfeeding system CFR: Cyclonic Flow Rotor technology creates cyclonic airflow for better drying Corrosion-resistant frame, sideplate and rotor Rigid metal handle design to reduce flex Machined aluminum, 2-tone anodized spool RESII: Computer balanced Rotor Equalizing System
