"SALINA" SPINNING REELS

The new Okuma "Salina" spinning reels have been designed with a very powerful drive system. The main gear is helical cut from high density material 50% stronger than standard gearing, and combines with a machine cut brass pinion gear to produce a drive train that is smooth, efficient, and ideal for tough fishing conditions.

Salina reels have a dual force drag system incorporating oiled felt washers. A multi-disk drag in the front of the spool works in conjunction with a secondary drag at the back of the spool to maximise high drag pressures and give a smooth release of line.

Other features are an oversized bail arm, elliptical oscillation for improved line lay, 4 corrosion resistant stainless bearings and a quick set anti-reverse roller bearing. Okuma's "Hydro Block" seal protects the drag system from moisture.

The frame, side plate and rotor are rigid diecast aluminum and the forged aluminum screw-in handle has an oversize grip. Okuma's Rotor Equalizing System guarantees a smooth retrieve.

The Salina series consists of six models from the SA-30 (170 metres of 2KG line) up to the SA-80 (275 metres of 12KG). The SA-30 and 40 have 5.0:1 gearing, larger models are 4.5:1.

Dual Force Drags and High Density Gearing are designed for long tussels with hard fighting fish. They are ideal for braided line and equally suitable for monofilament.

Salina reels have the added advantage of a nation wide spare parts service and Okuma's lifetime guarantee, making them excellent value for money.
