OKUMA INTEGRITY LARGE ARBOR FLY REELS

Product Description

Okuma's large arbor design gives faster line retrieval for a single action reel. Traditionally known as a specialty reel, large arbor reels have been fished by the specialists. With the introduction of the Intregity Okuma opens up to the world of large arbor fishing. The Integrity series features a uniquely patented, oversized stainless steel-based disc drag.

• 8/9 & 10/11 with multi-disk cork drag washers
• Roller bearing engages drag in one direction

(see customer images) I don't understand the trend in super lightweight fly reels.

When you get a chance, re-grease it. If it get's droped in salt water, give it rinse in fresh water (ASAP) "then" blow off/out the insides (re-grease when you can). Trust me, not even salt water is going to kill this thing if you keep it well greased and clean (and out of the water...). The machine work and finfish on this reel is defiantly top shelf.

If you're one of the few that likes to bass fish with a fly rod the larger models are for you. It`s a perfect real for larger shorter running fish. This reel would be good for full length rods that need a heavy reel to get good balance. The one-way bearing is also reversible for right or left handed users (nice!) I currently have it match up to this (below), and it balances almost perfectly on this full length 4 pc 5wt rod.
