REEL MAINTENANCE Proper reel maintenance will greatly prolong the useful life of any fishing reel – especially if it is used in a saltwater environment. A few tips: DO’s ■■ Remove any sand or dirt on the reel after use ■■ Wipe with a freshwater dampened cloth, then wipe dry. ■■ Spray or wipe over with a suitable lubricant. ■■ Lubricate with oil, or grease moving parts such as bail hinges, bail roller and handle. ■■ ■■ ■■
DONT’s Leave covered in saltwater, dirt or sand. Hose your reel to clean it as this forces salt and dirt into the reel. Disassemble the reel unless you are qualified to do so.

If you are after power and performance then look no further than the new Solterra range of overhead reels. Expanded for 2010 this range now presents a reel to suit anything from light bottom bashing to heavy game fishing, offering premium performance without compromise. The machined aluminium spool and reinforced side plates provide maximum strength where it is needed most, a magnetic drag assist / cast control (featured on the left side plate of sizes 10 and 15 only) offers an attribute that not many other lever drag overhead reels possess allowing free spool to be adjusted and even cast if necessary. A 5 bearing system (plus instant anti-reverse on smaller sizes) and large power grip handle polish off what could be one of the greatest additions to the Okuma overhead range. The all NEW larger models now include Okuma’s Patented T-Bar ergonomic handle design. Available with or without level wind, in single speed or two speed and one model in left hand configuration – a truly sensational value for money range of reels. NEW NEW NEW NEW

MagSystem & MagNetix From trolling for line burning pelagics in far north QLD, casting the beaches in search of Mulloway and Salmon to bottom fishing for tasty reef delicacies; reliable gear is a MUST. Nothing is tougher, more reliable than or as versatile as the Okuma MagSystem range of high speed star drag reels. A machined anodized aluminium rigid frame, machined alloy spool and oversized gearing gives this reel the utmost strength and support against hard fighting fish whilst the oversized ergonomic handle ensures the experience is left with a positive feel. A relative of the MagSystem workhorse, the Okuma MagNetix houses most attributes of its heavy duty brother at a fraction of the cost. The MagNetix is suited more to casting all day due to its lightweight graphite frame – not as tough as it’s aluminium counterpart however what you lose in strength you make up for in versatility. The reel does possess a machined alloy spool and oversized gearing similar to the MagSystem plus the oversized ergonomic Okuma power handle. The MagSystem & MagNetix range of reels incorporate Okuma’s new MCCS Magnetic Cast Control System which through the use of a set of intricately designed magnets allows the user to cast their line further without the worry of line tangles or the dreaded ‘bird’s nest’. As line comes off the spool during a cast the magnets increase their attraction to one another in order to maintain constant spool rotation caused by the release of the line. Once the cast is complete and the line stops exiting the spool the magnets cease the spool’s rotation preventing overrun (excess line leaving the spool) ultimately avoiding tangles. The Magnetic Cast Control System can be adjusted in strength via a dial on the side plate as you become more accustomed to controlling the situation yourself or it can even be completely disabled if you wish to fish in full manual mode. Of corse a cast control knob is affixed to the reel for those who are not willing to explore the technological advances and divert from conventional methods! You can feel safe when a large fish is screaming off with your bait in free spool knowing that the MagSystem and MagNetix reels feature Okuma’s SLG Speed Loc Pinion Gearing System. This technology incorporates a dual-step pinion gear system that allows positive engagement when moving from free spool to strike at speeds in excess of 50 MPH. The reels feature 3 stainless steel ball bearings (2 only in the MagNetix) with a quick set anti-reverse roller bearing for smooth use and no back play. Multi-disk Carbonite drag washers apply an even distribution of drag at high pressure whilst the oversized stainless steel gearing system holds force on to your big catch without slipping. The MagSystem & MagNetix are available in 3 sizes in stainless Ti coated level wind and non-level wind with rod clamp kit (alloy on MagSystem) Backed by Okuma’s Lifetime Guarantee these tough Okuma reels won’t let you down.

Spinning Reels
The marquee spinning reel from the company that is setting the standard for spinning technology. The culmination of a multinational development project, the VSystem represents the ultimate spinning technology available. Featuring unique, “Extreme Element Bearings (E2BB)” which contain ceramic balls to eliminate corrosion & assist in the dissipation of heat. The VSystem is built on the foundation of our patented EOS elliptical oscillation drive gears. This revolutionary oscillation system offers superior line lay while maintaining unmatched stability. Due to the elliptical shape of the gears, they are constantly engaged during the two stroke oscillation. The VSystem also features the new Dual Drag Force system, DFD. In addition to the traditional multi-disk system it has a large drag system mounted beneath the spool, which by equalizing the drag force stabilizes and dissipates heat, promising a smooth drag under extreme tensions. This extra oversize drag washer equals the inside diameter of the spool skirt, increasing the range of drag adjustment from normal high pressure to complete “lock up” of the drag, and will be appreciated by anglers using braid. The larger models have been tested successfully to drag pressures beyond normal comprehension. Okuma’s “AlumiLite” aluminium body, rotor & spool construction virtually eliminates reel “flex” and retains the precision alignment of all internal parts when the reel is under load. Okuma’s V System reels are precision built products, designed in Germany and protected by a lifetime Guarantee. ►► AlumiLite: Aluminium body & rotor construction ►► Patented EOS: Elliptical Oscillation System ►► 14 HPB: High Performance Bearings (11 in smaller models) ►► 1 E²BB: extreme element ceramic ball bearing ►► 1 Quick-Set Anti-Reverse roller bearing ►► DFD: dual force drag system ►► Heavy duty forged 1-touch aluminium handle ►► Extra ported AL spool ►► Oversized Bail Arm ►► High speed gear ratio on ‘Sa’ models ►► Okuma’s Lifetime Guarantee

Dual Force Drag System (DFD) DFD incorporates both surfaces of the spool to maximize 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-disk 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.
High Density Gearing (HDG) Okuma’s proprietary HDG forged main gear has been engineered to be 50% stronger than standard gearing due to its unique alloy composition and density. Helical cut gears further enhance the drive system’s smoothness and efficiency, by improved gear meshing. HDG gears were specifically designed to withstand the brutal punishment that today’s super braids can place on a reel’s drive system.

All of these features and more are now encompassed within the revolutionary Okuma Blade Body Design which narrows the reel’s frame, reducing the weight and overall mass, thereby giving the reel a great look and more balanced “feel”. ►► AlumiLite: Aluminium body construction ►► Patented EOS: Elliptical Oscillation System ►► Patented On/Off auto trip bait feeding function ►► 4 HPB: High Performance Stainless Steel Ball Bearings ►► 1 Quick-Set Anti-Reverse roller bearing ►► Machine cut anodised aluminium spool ►► DFD: Dual Force Drag system ►► Hydro Bloc: Water tight drag seal ►► HDG: High Density Gearing, super strong ►► Oversized Bail Arm ►► Okuma’s Lifetime Guarantee
Baitfeeding System Okuma’s patented baitfeeding system allows the reel to be disengaged, which lets the angler’s bait run freely. The baitfeeding system incorporates a secondary micro-adjustable drag system at the rear of the reel that allows for precise adjustments to the spool for bait control. To disengage this system, simply turn the handle. The On/Off lever on the rear of the reel will automatically disengage the baitfeeding system so you can fight your fish with the main drag system.

Anglers who enjoy fishing with quality tackle are certain to be interested in the Eclipz Baitfeeder, the lightweight reel in an entirely new range of the popular Eclipz series. Both the main gear and pinion are machine cut stainless steel and the drive train has four sealed stainless steel ball bearings. The handle is forged aluminium fitted with a soft touch grip, and a one way bearing prevents backward movement, with an extremely smooth retrieve due to Okuma’s Rotor Equalizing System. As well as being suitable for light spinning the Eclipz Baitfeeder is great for bait fishing as it’s fitted with the Baitfeeder drag system and its micro adjustable drag with a wide range of settings. The Baitfeeder drag can be set to give almost no resistance to a timid fish in still water, or increased to suit live or dead bait in rough conditions or a current flow. When a fish takes the bait the angler simply flicks the lever or turns the handle to bring the drive train and front drag into operation. This versatile reel is available in a wide range of sizes to give the angler a choice of reel for any type of fishing. ►► Multi-disk Japanese oiled felt drag washers ►► Stainless steel gearing ►► 4 sealed stainless steel ball bearings ►► 1 Quick-Set Anti-Reverse roller bearing ►► Aluminium spool ►► Forged aluminium handle ►► Heavy duty saltwater design ►► Gasket sealed drag system ►► Patented On/Off auto trip bait feeding function ►► Okuma’s Lifetime Guarantee Model

The team at Okuma have released the complimenting Titus LTD which is essentially a Titus blank minus the roller tip, guides suited more to a range of fishing styles plus an all NEW look – perfect for anglers wishing to fish heavy braided lines without the interference of roller guides. The Titus LTD incorporates saltwater impervious materials including double footed reinforced guides with coated aluminium oxide inserts. During those blistering runs the inserts dissipate heat efficiently ensuring the line remains at its peak as it passes over the guides, especially good with braided lines. The blank is constructed from Okuma’s famous E-Glass design, creating a robust, responsive and very powerful stick. The fore grip is non-slip EVA whilst the rear grip is of a ‘slick butt’ design for ease of manoeuvrability into and out of rod holders under pressure. The cosmetic gold wrap of the Titus LTD is complimented nicely with a heavy duty black anodised dual lock alloy reel seat & alloy gimbal. The Titus LTD range make a perfect match to the Okuma Titus or Titus Gold overhead reels.

The demand for these blanks to cover a larger array of fishing applications was far too great to ignore so the R&D team at Okuma added a further four models to the range including a XHeavy 12’ surf perfect for quickly subduing a 50 pound jewie from behind the breakers, a 9’ surf well suited to pegging chromes wide of rock ledges or fishing beaches where clearing the sets isn’t such a big issue, a 7’6” XHeavy spin designed for northern anglers tossing big poppers at gorging GTs and marauding mackerel, and even a 6’6” four piece travel rod manufactured from the same toughened cloth, rated 1-3kg complete with its own hard carry case! These models feature all the ‘bling’ and attributes of their original surf & rock predecessors; a stylish metallic silver/gold cosmetic with a gloss/matt combination, black blank highlights & sleek clear protective coating. The fish won’t know what hit ‘em!

Kayak fishing is the next big thing to hit Australia since the soft plastic revelation and everything from bream to marlin has been caught from a Kayak. The thought of being towed around by a large powerful fish is becoming a reality for a lot of fisherman. Fishing from a kayak creates a number of issues not normally considered whilst fishing from a boat or pier; the worst few being clearance if a fish decides to bolt to the front of your yak – a nice long blank from 7 to 8 foot is usually required to overcome this. What happens if a large boat creates havoc by throwing a treacherous wake in your direction or you capsize – you drop your expensive rod & reel in the drink never to be seen again? Having researched this, Okuma has developed several features that make the Baidarka rod unique. The rods are of kayak specific lengths designed for stowage inside of kayaks as well as providing the reach anglers so often desire. All guides are Pac Bay stainless steel, protective coated Tich guides to help reduce the corrosion that comes with being so close to salt water. On the butt of the rod there is a lanyard clip to keep the rod attached to the kayak, and lastly Okuma has developed the ‘BRD’ Buoyant Rod Design – the rod floats... even with a large overhead reel attached! The blank is a result of Okuma’s “Cross Fusion Blank Technology” which increases the hoop strength therefore improving overall strength. The rods feature specific actions that shut down quickly for improved hook setting & easier “sea level fishability” that kayak fishing requires. The grip configuration is substantially different to conventional fishing methods; the rear grip is shortened effectively keeping the rod close to you in the confined space of a kayak allowing better control, the fore grip is formed of an extended EVA with a recessed channel line to relieve back strain and increase floatation without increasing line friction and chafing. The range consists of seven rods which have been divided into two 7ft 6in spinning rods, four overhead 7ft 6in rods and one 7ft overhead rod. All rods are of one piece construction and have line ratings ranging from 4-7kg to 7-15kg.

Imagine floating a whole WA pilchard down a cube trail moments before the rising sun on a crisp autumn morning, anchored over your favourite knobby patch, Solterra combo in hand... it doesn’t get much better than that! Or perhaps you’d rather troll the shelf line for tuna, & small billfish? Even stop over a promising wreck & drop a knife jig down to the depths? Either way, the Solterra combos can do it all for you. Relatively new to the market; Okuma brings a combination of elegance, strength & durability, the Okuma Solterra. The Okuma Solterra range of graphite rods were designed with versatility in mind – suitable for all forms of sport and game styles from reef fishing and trolling to jigging and live baiting, featuring a full array of high quality ALPS components including ALPS guides as well as an ALPS alloy tri reel seat and alloy gimbal. Built complete with ergonomically shaped EVA grips and constructed with Okuma’s superior graphite blank technology. The Solterra overhead reels run on a six bearing system with Quick-Set anti reverse, they offer a positive hold with their power grip handle and the machined aluminium spool and side plates provide maximum strength where it is needed most. A magnetic drag assist / cast control feature on the left side plate offers an attribute that not many other lever drag overhead reels possess allowing free spool to be adjusted and even cast if necessary. The Solterra combo range currently consists of two models suited to 10kg & 15kg. Model

Femme Fatale
T
he team at Okuma noticed a trend building in the fishing world – more and more female anglers were, and still are, getting involved with the incredibly fulfilling sport of angling. Many women accepted the equipment that was available on the market however growing calls eventuated and purpose built gear was starting to be demanded. Okuma’s goal was to provide to the community a radical concept based solely on a growing but niche market, something that would scream WOW and something that all anglers could be proud of. Okuma Australia answered the nation and being the pioneers of the feminine angling industry they released the pink themed Femme Fatale Combo range in 2007, Femme Fatale meaning “powerful women”. Used and endorsed by Natalie Lowe of “Dancing with the Stars”, this range of combos was a smash hit with Australia, so much so in fact that the concept has since been accepted and distributed worldwide. Femme Fatale became so large that a subsidiary was soon developed by Okuma known as Calynn, both these names have gained much respect and following throughout Australia. 2009 brought a wide expansion to the range together with many new introductions including a low profile baitcaster & a complex graphite tournament rod series. Amongst the many features & benefits of the Okuma Femme Fatale & Calynn range there is but one that holds a sentimental and powerful value, that is, Okuma’s tie to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. For every rod, reel, combo or cap sold under the Femme Fatale or Calynn branding, Okuma will contribute a portion of that sale as a donation to the National Breast Cancer’s “Pink Ribbon” Foundation to assist with the fighting of breast cancer. By purchasing one of the Femme Fatale products you are not only acquiring a fantastic piece of fishing gear but you are also aiding in the prevention, detection and treatment of breast cancer – value for money and value for the future.

Teaming up with the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Okuma have come up with a unique and fun way to show their support by designing a rod and reel combo to suit every woman’s needs. The Femme Fatale combo was the first of its kind in Australia – a pioneer if you will – and was designed 100% for women after extensive research was undertaken nationally. The Femme Fatale combo comes with the a 3 year Okuma Guarantee on the rod and an Okuma Lifetime Guarantee on the reel, with 4 ball bearings, EOS gearing, a sealed multi-disk drag and Okuma’s integrated solid tip rod, plus a free pink Okuma hat – sure to make even the most seasoned anglers “pink” with envy. The rod is available in 4 different sizes; 6ft 6in spin, 7ft spin and 7 Ft General Purpose, 10ft spin. The Femme Fatale combo will be a great Birthday, Mothers Day, Christmas or ‘just because’ gift, and everyone will love it because of its National Breast Cancer Foundation logo, pink colour, free Femme Fatale hat with purchase and Femme Fatale branding! These combos are so good that even the blokes have been spotted down at the local pier sporting a pink hat, Femme Fatale combo in hand! But more importantly a percentage of every Femme Fatale combo sold will mean a donation towards helping fight breast cancer in Australia. Available from fishing tackle outlets throughout Australia – a great combo fighting for a great cause!
