Okuma Aventa AB-5000 – Reliable Baitfeeder Performance

The Okuma Aventa AB-5000 combines a smooth 6+1 bearing system with an on/off auto-trip bait feeding mechanism, delivering dependable free-spool function for carp and specimen fishing at an accessible price point.

Smooth Baitfeeder System with Quick Set Anti-Reverse

The on/off auto-trip bait feeding system lets fish take line freely without resistance, while the Quick Set anti-reverse roller bearing ensures instant hook-setting power when you engage the handle. The 6+1 bearing drive system (6 stainless steel ball bearings plus 1 roller bearing) provides smooth retrieval under load, and the precision machine-cut brass pinion gear maintains reliable performance season after season.

Durable Construction with Spare Spool

Built with a corrosion-resistant graphite body and machined aluminum spool, the AB-5000 stands up to demanding conditions. The slow oscillation gearing system lays line evenly across the spool for improved casting distance, while the LCS (Line Control Spool) design enhances line management. A spare aluminum spool, one-touch handle with wood knob, and metal line clip come standard.
