DFD - Dual Force Drag System: DFD incorporates both surfaces of the spool to maximize high-end drag pressure, efficiency and over all 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 HDF forged main gear has been engineerred to be 50% stronger than standard gearing due to its unique alloy composition and density. Helical cut gears further enhanced the drive systems smoothness and efficiency, by improved gear meshing. HDF gears were specifically designed to withstand the brutal punishment that today's super braids can place on a reels drive system.
Comments about Okuma Okuma Salina Saltwater Spinning Reels:
This is a long lasting, durable reel. I use my two SA65's for trolling and live baiting and even attach it to my surf rod for slinging bottom rigs. I have never had a problem with the drag locking up and I am pretty rough on my gear. The drag is easy to tweak and always smooth. All I do is rinse with fresh water after fishing and it's ready for another day.
