Okuma Azores Saltwater Spinning Reels are built with the focus on advanced strength, performance, and durability. These reels are different from the rest because they feature dual anti-reverse systems. The one way clutch bearing is joined by a ratcheting anti-reverse which is molded into the bottom of the rotor for an increased diameter and larger teeth.

Azores Saltwater Spinning Reels have power features which include a die-cast aluminum body, side plate and rotor, a machined cut pinion gear, and the Okuma Dual Force Drag system. This drag system utilizes a traditional top drag stack which is combined with an oversized Carbonite drag washer beneath the spool, which increases high end drag output, as well as spool stability.

These reels have Okuma's 3 part Mechanical Stabilization System which are molded out of carbon composite. These enhance the strength of the aluminum frame and maintains alignment of the internal parts.

Okuma Azores Saltwater Spinning Reels have an oversized 6 mm stainless steel spool shaft and an 8 mm forged brass spool shaft sleeve, which increases the stability of the spool and drag system alignment when fishing with heavy drag pressure.
