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.
![]() | 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 |

![]() | 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. |
![]() | 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. |
