The Reel
The new Okuma Azores Blue 5500 Saltwater Spinning
Reel is packed with more features and now comes in a
striking blue finish. Rigid die-cast aluminium body, side plate and
rotor, precision machine-cut pinion gear, machined aluminium handle
arm and spool and coated with CRC. But within the interior is where
Azores gains massive separation from competitors. Dual anti-reverse
systems, massive oversized spool shaft and grease-packed stainless
steel bearings deliver incredible strength while Carbon Mechanical
Stabilisation System stops electrolysis in its tracks. Perfect for
boat fishing, jigging or live baiting!

Dual Force Drag System
DFD incorporates both surfaces of the spool to maximise 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 and significantly increased drag output compared to
traditional single drag systems.

High Performance Bearing (HPB)
6 high performance ball bearings provide Azores with outstanding
smoothness and reliability in saltwater fishing environments. The
balls used on the HPB’s are constructed from the same high-grade
stainless steel material as the bearing housing.

Dual Anti-Reverse System
The Azores features Okuma’s trusted Quick Set anti-reverse system
and a backup multi-stop anti reverse system for increased
durability and reliability in all fishing conditions.

AlumiLite Construction (ALC)
Rigid die cast aluminum body, side plate and rotor: AlumiLite
Construction incorporates Okuma’s rigid aluminum body technology,
alum frames are stronger and more rigid and are capable of
withstanding more pressure and torque than traditional graphite
frames. These lightweight, die cast alum frames provides more
precise tolerances for precision gear aligment, maximum stability
and ultimate durability.

The Rod
The Okuma Tournament Concept Rod is built using
Okuma’s patented Unidirectional Fibre Reinforcement technology.
Exclusively designed for Kiwi anglers by the team at Composite
Developments – each one built strong enough to fight tough fish and
last you many seasons!

It’s manufactured using a patented process with an outer layer of
longitudinal fibres around the rod blank to significantly increase
strength and power in the tip section. This offers lifting power
and strength up to four times conventional graphite rods. The
Okuma Tournament Concept Rod is durable, powerful
and can be fished by all anglers with confidence.
