Okuma Fishing Tackle USA is here at ICAST 2025 in Orlando, Florida, with their all-new Safyre Spinning Reel. This is Okuma’s new spinning reel design made for anglers who want to fish both fresh and saltwater. The Safyre spinning reels offer smooth and reliable performance in a wide range of conditions. At the reel’s core is the HDG+ system, an oversized high-density gearing driver train for the reel that provides extra torque and strength. For added smoothness, the reel comes with a Gear Stabilizing System and Flite Drive for better gear tooth alignment when under pressure. The drag is a multi-disc Carbonite drag stack, and lastly, the Safyre spinning reels come with a Hydro Block II body that has IPX-3 splash protection.
