Quick take
An Okuma spinning reel with dual drag system for live bait presentation, featuring a micro-adjustable rear drag and automatic trip to main drag.
The Okuma Avenger ABF in size 500 is a compact spinning reel with a baitfeeder system that lets the spool turn freely while a bait runs. A turn of the handle switches back to the main drag when a fish takes. Its graphite body and 5.0:1 gear ratio suit anglers who want a light baitfeeding setup for live or cut bait.
