Okuma Azores Spinning Reel 9000 750g 20kg 120.4cm 5.4:1

Okuma Azores 9000 — Built for Big Saltwater Battles

The Okuma Azores 9000 spinning reel combines proven saltwater engineering with a robust aluminum construction to handle powerful offshore species and demanding coastal conditions.

Precision Dual Force Drag System

The patented DFD system delivers smooth, consistent pressure through multi-disc Carbonite and felt washers, backed by a maximum drag power of 20 kg. Fine-tune your settings with the click drag adjustment for precise control when fighting hard-running fish. A waterproof Hydro Block seal protects the drag mechanism from saltwater intrusion.

Corrosion-Resistant Saltwater Engineering

Every critical component is designed to withstand harsh marine environments. The CRC coating process and HDGII high-density gearing resist corrosion, while 6 HPB plus 1 roller bearing (all stainless steel) ensure smooth operation season after season. The rigid diecast aluminum body, sideplate, and rotor (ALC) paired with the carbon Mechanical Stabilizing System (MSS) provide structural integrity under heavy loads. The machined aluminum spool and handle arm add durability where it matters most.
