The Okuma Tomcat reels’ revolutionary design is patented in many countries. These reels use an elliptical gear which allows the reel to wind line more consistently and uniformly on the spool resulting in level line lay which in turn results in longer casts. The Tomcat also features a corrosion-resistant, stainless steel bearing and a Cyclonic Flow Rotor. This design allows the reel to dry more quickly when wet, reducing the risk of components rusting. Top quality reel for demanding applications!
