Unleash Tournament-Ready Power on a Budget
Dominate the bank with the Longbow XR Baitfeeder – your ticket to rock-solid performance without the premium price. Built tough for tournament anglers, its LCS Line Control Spool locks in perfect line lay for distance casts and smooth retrieves. Packed with features like a Cyclonic Flow Rotor and precision elliptical gearing, this budget-friendly workhorse proves you don’t need to break the bank to beat the competition.
Okuma’s baitfeeder system gives you total control over every bite. A quick turn of the handle or flip of the On/Off lever at the rear instantly disengages the main drag and engages a secondary, micro-adjustable rear drag—unlocking a free spool so the fish can run without resistance. When you’re ready to strike, simply turn the handle again and the On/Off lever automatically switches back to the primary drag for the fight. By combining precision bait control with seamless transition to full drag power, Okuma’s Baitfeeder reels maximize hookup rates and put you in command from cast to catch.
Okuma’s baitfeeder system offers precise control over every bite. A quick handle turn or flip of the rear On/Off lever activates a micro-adjustable rear drag, allowing fish to run freely. When ready to strike, turning the handle re-engages the primary drag seamlessly. This system ensures precision bait control and smooth transitions, maximizing hook ups and control from cast to catch.
The Cyclonic Flow Rotor (CFR) was designed to create a “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 possibilities throughout the reel.
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 & eliminates all spool wobble for perfect alignment.
Okuma’s Precision Elliptical Gearing System enhances performance by regulating spindle stroke speed for consistent, uniform line winding. This results in better line lay, reduced casting friction, increased distance, accuracy, longer line life, and smoother drag pressures. Experience the balance, smoothness, and power this system delivers in every reel.
Anodized aluminium spool offers superior corrosion resistance, enhanced durability, and scratch resistance. It provides a smooth surface for better line management, making it durable for all conditions.
Evenly balanced double handles allow for even line retrive at both fast and slow rates
The metal clip allows for secure holding of the line preventing it from jumping off the spool.
Line control spool (LCS) is designed to optimize line management for smoother casting and retrieval. It reduces line twist, ensures even line lay, and enhances casting distance through features like improved spool lip design and oscillation systems.
