Okuma Expixor XT Spinning Reel EPXT-55 FD 5.0:1 12kg 87cm 316g

Okuma Expixor XT EPXT-55 FD — Robust Lure Fishing Reel for Salt and Fresh Water

The Okuma Expixor XT (Extra Tough) EPXT-55 FD is a stout, corrosion-resistant spinning reel built for demanding lure fishing in both fresh and salt water — from heavy softbaits on pike to light jigging on cod.

Built to Handle Predators and Salt Alike

The corrosion-resistant graphite body and rotor, combined with a heavy-duty full-aluminium bail and a rigid metal handle arm, give this reel a robust platform that holds up under tough saltwater conditions. The precision machine-cut brass gear and 7+1 stainless steel bearings ensure smooth, reliable power transmission even when applying the full 12 kg of multi-disc drag — fitted with oiled felt drag washers for consistent, progressive pressure.

Line Management You Can Rely On

Okuma's Slow Oscillation system lays line in tight, even wraps on the machine-cut, dual-tone anodised aluminium spool (LCS-edged), while the CFR (Cyclonic Flow Rotor) technology improves line flow and reduces friction during the cast. TCA (Torsion Control Armor) minimises line twist — an important advantage when working heavy lures over long sessions. The Quick Set Anti Reverse bearing eliminates handle back-play for immediate, positive hook sets.
