Both are size 40 reels, but the 40S HS uses a higher 5.8:1 ratio and faster retrieve. It is the better choice when you want quicker line pickup for active lure fishing or coastal sea trout work.
The 20 size is the lightest option in the range and is aimed at lighter perch and trout fishing. If you want a little more line capacity and a broader all-round setup, move up to the 30 size.
Yes. The 30 size is a balanced option for zander, while the 40 and 40S HS suit heavier lures and stronger fish such as pike. The exact choice depends on how much line pickup and reel size you prefer.
The series uses corrosion-resistant bearings and a Cyclonic Flow Rotor designed for corrosion resistance, and supplier text also mentions coastal sea trout use. Regular rinsing and maintenance after saltwater exposure remain important.

The Okuma Helios series is built for anglers who want a light reel with a rigid carbon-based body, smooth gearing and corrosion-resistant components. Across the range, the reels cover finesse perch and trout fishing through to larger pike, zander and coastal sea trout applications.
The frame, sideplates and rotor use C-40X material to keep weight low without giving up stability. TCA (Torsion Control Armor) helps reduce twisting under load, which supports a more direct feel when working lures.
All models use 8HPB + 1RB stainless steel bearings, a precision-cut brass pinion and Okuma's Precision Elliptical Gearing system. The range includes standard-speed options plus the HSX-40S high-speed version for anglers who want faster line pickup.
The Cyclonic Flow Rotor is designed to support corrosion resistance, and the reels also feature a solid aluminium bail wire, metal line clip and corrosion-resistant components. That makes the series suitable not only for freshwater spinning, but also for occasional coastal use where a light but robust reel is needed.
The 20 size is the lightest choice for perch and trout. The 30 size gives a balanced all-round option for zander, perch and trout. The 40 size adds more line pickup and capacity for larger lures and stronger fish, while the 40S HS model is the fastest version in the range for active lure work and coastal sea trout fishing.
