HELIOS SX HSX-40S HS
The Okuma Helios SX HSX-40S combines cutting-edge carbon construction with high-speed retrieval for fast-paced spinning techniques. Built on a lightweight C-40X carbon frame with Cyclonic Flow Rotor technology, this reel delivers corrosion resistance and smooth performance in freshwater and saltwater environments.
The C-40X carbon frame and sideplates with Torsion Control Armor (TCA) keep the weight at just 260 g while reducing flex under load. The Precision Elliptical Gearing system with AlumiLite alloy main gear and brass pinion ensures smooth cranking power. Nine corrosion-resistant stainless steel bearings (8HPB + 1RB Quick-Set anti-reverse) provide reliable operation even after saltwater use.
With a 5.8:1 gear ratio and 91.2 cm line retrieve per turn, the HSX-40S excels at fast lure presentations and quick line pickup. The machined aluminum spool with 2-tone anodizing holds 260 m of 0.25 mm line, while the 6 kg maximum drag and heavy-duty aluminum bail wire handle hard-fighting fish. The rigid machined aluminum handle with lightweight EVA knobs reduces fatigue during extended sessions.
The Helios SX range offers four sizes for different techniques and target species:
HSX-20 (180 g, 3 kg drag, 60.7 cm retrieve, 0.15–0.25 mm line) — ultralight spinning for trout, perch, and small predators
HSX-30 (202 g, 6 kg drag, 68.6 cm retrieve, 0.20–0.30 mm line) — all-round spinning for pike, zander, and bass
HSX-40 (262 g, 6 kg drag, 76.2 cm retrieve, 0.25–0.35 mm line) — standard retrieval for medium predators and inshore saltwater
HSX-40S (260 g, 6 kg drag, 91.2 cm retrieve, 0.25–0.35 mm line) — high-speed variant for fast jigging, twitching, and rapid lure control
