The marquee spinning reel from the company that is setting the standards for spinning technology. The culmination of a multinational development project, the VS represents the ultimate spinning technology available. The VS is built on the foundation of our patented EOS elliptical oscillation drive gears. This revolutionary new 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 VS also features the new, revolutionary Dual Force Drag 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 smooth drag under extreme tensions. VS also features our Extreme Element Bearings, made with double shielded stainless steel and high density ceramic balls, for the ultimate in corrosion resistant and long life durability.
With up to 16 bearings, the reel utilizes both the Extreme Elements bearings and the High Performance bearings for ultra smooth fishing and anti-corrosion wear. Finished with a machined aluminum 1-touch folding handle and matching machined spare spool, the VS is the defining range of spinning tackle. Because we believe in the quality and performance of our premier reel, we are offering an unprecedented 5 year warranty.
 | EOS : Elliptical Oscillation System: The revolutionary EOS design is patented in a number of countries around the world and is the soul of the Okuma mid to upper end spinning reel range. The EOS design uses elliptical shaped oscillation gears which provide exceptional line lay, improved smoothness and maximum long-life durability. The EOS gears are always engaged and provide a very smooth spool stroke, eliminating the spool from jumping as commonly found on many reels in the market |
 | DFD : Dual Force Drag System: DFD incorporated 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. |
 | E2BB : Extreme Elements Bearing: These high grade stainless steel ball bearings have been designed with one of the most commonly used grades of stainless steel in the marine industry. This stainless steel is used to fight off the harshest corrosion environments possible. E2BB's feature ceramic balls which run smoother because they create less friction and are completely corrosion resistant, resulting in a smoother running bearing for long life durability. These bearings were designed to be more than 10 times more resistant to saltwater than standard stainless steel bearings. |
 | HPB : High Performance Ball Bearings: The properties of the HPB are almost identical to that of the E2BB with the exception of the balls. These balls used on the HPB's are constructed from the same high-grade stainless steel material as the bearing housing. These bearings were designed to be more than 10 times more resistant to saltwater than standard stainless steel bearings. These bearings may even outlast the angler himself. |
 | ALC : AlumiLite Frame Construction: AlumiLite construction incorporates Okuma's rigid aluminum body technology on spinning, trolling and fly reel designs. Aluminum frames are stronger and more rigid and are capable of withstanding more pressure and torque than traditional graphite frames. These lightweight diecast aluminum frames provide more precise tolerances for precision gear alignment, maximum castability and ultimate durability. |
 | EFR II : The Even Flow Roller System utilized a ball bearing under the line roller to maximize efficiency. This roller helps reduce line twists by freely rolling over the line roller without friction. Without this feature line will naturally twist when drag is pulled. |
 | RES II : The RES II System stands for Rotor Equalizing System. This second generation RES System incorporates a computer balanced weight precisely placed in the rotor. This weight allows for precision balance and eliminates all spool wobble for perfect alignments and smooth cranking. |
 | Quick-Set : This system allows for instant handle engagement and eliminates all handle back play commonly found in many reels. This is accomplished by using a corrosion resistant stainless steel roller bearing that engages the reel in one direction fro rock solid hook sets. |
 | X - Spool : When you see this spare spool icon in the Okuma catalog or any of our packaging, you will know that you are getting a second spool with your purchase. An extra spool is perfect as a back up system or for carrying different line sized to adjust your techniques to finish conditions. Ready to fish. |
 | Ergo Grip : Ergo Grip handle knob is an extremely comfortable oversized handle knob design for both speed and power. This soft touch knob has been ergonomically designed to fit in the palm of your hand and will be found on certain Okuma lever drag reels, star drag reels and some spinning reel models |
 | Hydro Block : The Hydro Block design features a rubber gasket mounted in the top of a spinning reel spool. this rubber seal blocks water and foreign materials from entering the drag system. The Hydro Block system ensures that your drag washers always perform at optimal levels. |
