Okuma Altera Reel

Okuma Altera spinning reels feature Okuma's latest body design and also provide the angler with technology and strength in style. Okuma has not created Altera by focusing on its functionality, but also placed emphasis on its aesthetics.

The Altera spinning reel is equipped with 3BB+1RB stainless steel bearings, the Cyclonic Flow Rotor Technology(CFR) and a rigid, metal handle. The Altera is a general purpose reel, addressing the average, occasional angler and represents an excellent choice for beginners.

The Even Flow Roller System utilizes a ball bearing under the line roller to maximize efficiency. This roller helps reduce line twists by freely rolling over the line roller without friction. Without this system, line will naturally twist when drag is pulled.

The RES II System stands for Rotor Equalizing System. This second-generation RES System incorporates a computer-balanced weight precisely placed in the rotor. This weight allows for precision balance and eliminates all spool wobble for perfect alignments and smooth cranking.

This system allows for instant handle engagement and eliminates all handle back play commonly found in many reels. This is accomplished by using a corrosion- resistant stainless steel roller bearing that engages the reel in one direction for rock-solid hook sets.

Cyclonic Flow Rotor (CFR) was designed to create “cyclonic” airflow, which significantly increases air flow through the ported rotor. This thoroughly tested design allows for a much faster drying time if the reel becomes wet, minimizing corrosion possibility through out the reel. CFR also creates a lighter-weight and a more rigid rotor which reduces the flex and rotational coherence and creates a more precise mechanical operation.
