Quick take
A versatile all-purpose reel with multi-disc oiled felt drag for both freshwater and saltwater applications.
The Okuma Aria 3000 is a size 3000 spinning reel with an aluminum body and handle, a 5.0:1 gear ratio and a multi-disc drag. A brass pinion gear and a computer-balanced rotor keep the crank smooth. It suits all-purpose freshwater and light inshore fishing for anglers who want a mid-size spinning reel.
