Krios, Komodo & Cedros Baitcasters
NEW MODELS, Here NOW!

Three new 2012 reels from Okuma, the Krios Komodo and Cedros baitcasters. These guys are on a big time roll, from smaller baitcasters to the big guns, Okuma is producing some of the best fishing products we've seen. I sure wouldn't want to own stock in the bike company these days, the sleeping giant woke up and they are introducing more quality fishing gear than any other manufacturer.

Krios
For folks looking for an affordable quality baitcaster, this Krios hits the nail on the head. You've got some great features to bring some added pleasure to your fishing. We've received the Krios right hand retrieve reels, with lefties coming soon. The new reel features a blazing fast 7.3:1 retrieve rate, Alumilite construction with die cast aluminum frame, A6061-T6 Machined aluminum spool and a multi-disk drag system with micro-click adjustments. The new reel has plenty of features to help folks new to baitcasters improve their casting performance. Chief among those features is an adjustable magnetic cast control system. You also have an 8 position internally ajusted centrifugal system. So, inside and out, you can dial this reel in for exactly the type of casting you need, and as you improve the reel can grow with you to provide all the "freespool" performance anyone would want. You've also got six ball bearings to assist that spin, and a very comfortable handle. Nice new reels, very good performance, and excellent values, all of 'em. The reels are covered by Okuma's 1 year limited warranty.

Komodo 273
Taking things a notch up the quality ladder is the Komodo KRD 273V. The Komodo features aluminum frame and sideplates, CRC (corrosion resistant coating process), with heavy duty aluminum gearing and shafts. It's made from T-6 Machined aluminum with anodized spool, and offers a multi disc Carbonite drag system for excellent stopping power. You have a micro-click drag star for precise drag settings, and 10 + 1 stainless steel bearings to maker her spin. The Komodo features Japanese ABEC-5 bearings, with a quick set anti reverse roller bearing. You also have a 7 position velocity control system - mechanical cast control. Zirconium line guide inserts for use with Spectra, an easy change left sideplate design for easy servicing, and a 3 year warranty program from Okuma. Available in left and right hand retrieve.

Cedros 273
Another step up the quality ladder in baitcasters, the Cedros 273. You pick up an more rigid diecast aluminum frame and sideplate assembly, with Titanium coating on the sideplates to keep the reel looking good for years to come. The entire reel takes advantage of Okuma's CRC (corrosion resistant coating process), and the reel is made from machined aluminum with anodized spool. The heavy duty gears are machine cut, with Dura Brass gearing. The Cedros features a unique stainless steel clutch slider, with multi-disc drag star for precise drag settings. You have the benefit of 6+1 precision Japanese ABEC 5 spool bearings with quick set anti-reverse roller bearing system. There's a 7 position velocity control system, heavy duty aluminum handle design, allowing cranking closer to your body. Combine that with durable EVA handle knobs for comfort and you have a very nice piece for inshore fishing. There's also an easy change left sideplate for service ease, zirconium line guide inserts for use with braided lines. The Cedors is specifically designed for saltwater applications and it's backed by a 3 year warranty! Available in left and right hand retrieve.

Cedros Round Baitcasters

The Cedros baitcasters offer a nice match to the needs of inshore anglers looking for the round style (and extended line capacity) verses the lower profile reels for inshore and light offshore work. High grade components, strength and durability are the hallmarks of these workhorse reels. They come in two sizes, a 250 and 400, made to optimize use of "braid" with an always engaged levelwind to assure smooth even line flow under all conditions. For near shore anglers, these are fine reels to run. Nice match with the Cedros series inshore rods, as well.

For guys vertical jigging, this is a dandy choice due to it's metal construction (frame, sideplate, rotor, spool) and very high drag capability.

Okuma Trio

I first saw this new spinner at the ICAST show in July 2009, and thought at that time that Okuma had another winner on their hands. (They really have turned things around from a few years ago in terms of fresh ideas AND quality design and production). Okuma made a cosmetic and slight refinement to the Trio in 2012, image reflects that. The new Trio series offer high drag capability, strong construction, made for Spectra, unique aluminum/graphite hybrid-crossover construction and priced right. The reel utilizes graphite as well as aluminum to create a new generation of reels - similar to what we're seeing on some race oriented cars these days. This allows for high strength as well as lighter weight by design. All factors combine nicely to create a very interesting series of reels.

Crossover Construction
Innovation at it's freshest...the new Trio spinning reels from Okuma feature an unique crossover construction. They took the best from aluminum construction and lightweight graphite materials and created a distinctive new concept in reel design. The solid one piece stamped aluminum reel stem and rotor arm are paired with lightweight graphite sideplates and rotor housing, which provide strength where needed, and weight savings where possible. the Trio spool construction utilizes a multi-piece construction, housing the drag system in an aluminum drag chamber for added stability and smoothness, while utilizing a lightweight graphite housing for weight reduction and distinctive styling.
