Description
With the addition of the Makaira Thrust bearing, the re-designed Alijos 2-Speed Lever Drag reels now reduce side load at heavy drag settings, remaining lightweight, compact-bodied, big fish-stopping machines. Built with 6061-T6 machined aluminum for the ultimate in strength. The 1-piece frame continues around to the non-handle side, the side plate which has a cast control system for precision spool control. The spool bearings are bathed in TSI oil giving it the ultimate in castability and frees spool. The Alijos reels feature a longer 90mm handle harm and oversized T-bar handle knob for great torque and comfort. The clicker mechanism has been reworked to give a louder clicking sound for trolling or dead stick applications. The new 2-speed shifting mechanism has been completely reworked by Okuma giving it the ultimate in shifting. The DFD: Dual Force Drag puts out tremendous drag pressure with its 100% larger drag plates.
The SSE Version are the Alijos Sailfish/Kingfish Reels. They are a single speed, high speed reel that feature 6.4:1 gear ratio and are meant to fish a consistent light drag. With a 5.7lb at strike and 10lb max drag, they are designed for that specific fishery.
