It�s quite possibly the most significant salmon fishing reel ever introduced, while adding exceptional function to musky and striper anglers as well. The Cold Water 350 Low-Profile Line Counter brings together three core features to create the ultimate reel. First is a compact ergonomic body that fits the hand with exceptional comfort while housing s high-capacity 350 size spool. Second is a powerful drag system with 25-pounds of max drag output. And third is a precision line-counter for exact trolling presentations. Casting, jigging, trolling, back-bouncing, float fishing, the Cold Water 350 Low-Profile Line counter is one reel that can do it all. Available in both right and left hand retrieve.
Baitfeeding spinning reels lend tremendous function to anglers. And this is not just in saltwater fisheries where baitfeeding spinning reels allow live baits to swim uninhibited. Use of baitfeeders are expanding dramatically in freshwater applications also, in fisheries like trout and catfish where it’s to the angler’s advantage to ensure fish have a solid hold of baits before setting the hook. For 2015, Okuma’s venerable Avenger ABF spinning reels have undergone numerous upgrades to form and function.
The Okuma Avenger “ABF” baitfeeder spinning reel reflects a refinement and precision that is the culmination of a decade of research and development. It is a unique combination of tournament grade spinning reel and Okuma’s patented live line bait feeding system. The Avenger “ABF” series puts a new spin on the traditional world of reels, and more importantly, what can be expected from them. Quite simply, these are ultra smooth, precision crafted reels. The light weight CNC machined spools are fitted with super smooth oil-soaked felt washers. The reel features six sealed ball bearings, for smooth operation. The Avenger ABF uses Okuma’s live bait feeding system. The easy-to-reach lever (located on the body behind the handle) disengages the spool to allow the line to run freely. The tension of the free spool can be adjusted with the rear adjustment (which looks and works like a rear drag). The bait feeding system allows a fish to pick up the bait and run without feeling the drag of the reel. When you are ready to set the hook, you flip down the baitfeeder lever to engage the drag, and the conventional front drag takes over.
The Avenger ABF Series of Baitcasting Reels are known for providing a combination of quality construction, great performance, and affordable value. Okuma’s patented baitfeeding system allows for disengagement of the spool and free-running line without opening the bail. Predators are allowed to pick up a bait and run with little resistance as they commit to eating–in order to provide a solid hookset. With a turn of the handle, the spool and drag system engage to set the hook and fight the fish. Coming in sizes 20 through 90 to accommodate most applications, from walleye to catfish–and–stripers to rockfish, this series has most baitcast anglers covered.

Avenger’s On/Off Auto Trip Baitfeeding System:
Okuma’s Avenger baitfeeding system allows anglers to disengage their spinning reel spool and allow their bait to run freely. The baitfeeding system incorporates a secondary, micro-adjustable drag system at the rear of the reel that allows for precise adjustment of the spool for bait control. In order to disengage this system, simply turn the handle. The On/Off lever on the rear of the reel will automatically disengage the baitfeeding system so you can fight your fish with the main drag system.
