## Overview

The Okuma Azores Saltwater Spinning Reel combines a durable aluminum and brass construction with advanced corrosion-resistant coatings and a Hydro Block seal to withstand harsh marine environments.

## Description

Azores Blue begin with proven power features including die-cast aluminum body, side plate and rotor, machine cut pinion gear and the Okuma Dual Force Drag system that utilizes a traditional top drag stack in concert with an oversized Carbonite drag washer beneath the spool to increase high-end drag output as well as spool stability under load. The Azores family of reels feature dual anti-reverse systems. The one-way clutch bearing is joined by a ratcheting anti-reverse that is molded into the bottom of the rotor separating the Azores from its competition. The Mechanical Stabilization System keeps all key components aligned. The 6mm stainless steel spool shaft is surrounded by an 8mm brass spool shaft sleeve that dramatically increases stability of the spool and drag system alignment when fished under the Azores maximum family drag output of up to 44lbs of pressure. The Z-4000H-BLUE and Z-6000H-BLUE features a 5.8:1 gear ratio while the Z-8000H-BLUE and Z-14000H-BLUE utilize a 5.4:1 gear ratio. Per every turn of the handle, Azores models take in 35.8 to 44.7-inches of line, respectively.
