Quick take
Corrosion-resistant graphite spinning reel with 17.4 lb drag and stainless bearings for freshwater and light saltwater use.
The Okuma Alaris ALS-40 is a size 40 spinning reel with a graphite body and rotor and a rigid metal handle. It runs on 3 stainless steel ball bearings plus a roller bearing, with multi-disc oiled felt drag washers and a machine-cut brass pinion gear. A 5.0:1 gear ratio and anti-reverse make it a straightforward freshwater reel for anglers stepping up to light and medium spinning setups.
Best for
- Light saltwater inshore fishing for small species
- Fresh and saltwater anglers seeking corrosion resistance

Skip if
- You fish exclusively freshwater
- You need maximum durability in harsh saltwater
Strengths
- Corrosion-resistant graphite body handles both fresh and saltwater
- Stainless steel bearings resist rust in wet conditions
- 17.4 lb drag provides stopping power for mid-size species
Trade-offs
- Graphite frame less rigid than metal for extreme loads
- Best suited to light-to-moderate saltwater rather than heavy game
- Versatile design lacks specialization of single-environment reels
Fishing fit
- Water
- Freshwater
- Saltwater
