Quick take
A saltwater spinning reel with corrosion-resistant aluminum, hydro block seal and powerful 44 lb drag.
The Okuma Azores Blue in size 6000 is a saltwater spinning reel with an aluminum build and a corrosion-resistant coating. A 5.8:1 gear ratio and a Dual Force drag with a Hydro Block seal over the drag system suit surf and boat work. It holds 310 yards of 12 lb monofilament, and the anti-reverse bearing gives instant handle engagement for hook-sets.
