Product information "Okuma Helios X Fly Reel"
The Okuma Helios SX fly reel is an elaborately milled fly reel made of an anodized aluminum frame. The many recesses provide but not only for a great look, but also for good weight savings. In addition, the well-ventilated spool ensures that the backing dries quickly and is therefore longer durable.
A reel foot kept short ensures that the reel is as close as possible to the reel seat and thus to the rod. The advantage in this is an optimal weight distribution when fishing and especially when casting! The large brake knob of the reel is slightly ribbed, so you have particularly good grip when adjusting the felt disc brake system, which is known for incredibly smooth running. The generous spool design of the narrow reel allow it to always have enough backing behind the fly line, if the desired dream fish enters, brake and the capacity of many meters of backing, usually ensure a happy ending!
- Model 4/5 The ideal reel for trout fishing, takes lines up to class 5 and has enough room for backing in case a big fish gets in.
- Model 5/6 A great size for streaming trout or fishing for perch, chub and co.
- Model 6/7 The perfect all-round size, be it for fishing for big trout in the stream as well as on the coast, or for hunting walleye, asp and other fighting predators.
- Model 8/9 is the predator size par excellence, the Helios SX. Plenty of room for a class nine line and sufficient backing make this model the ideal reel for pike fishing.
The Okuma Helios SX fly reel is a reel of the middle price segment, which is quite sufficient for fishing for trout, perch or pike. Plenty of capacity and a solid, sealed brake system are just as convincing as the more than fair price. A reel that is more than useful not only for beginners, but also as a backup!
