Like the other Azores, these reels feature the precision Dual Force Drag system, precision click drag adjustment, multi-disc Carbonite and felt drag washers, 6 1 corrosion resistant stainless steel bearings, quick-set anti-reverse roller bearing, dual anti-reverse system for maximum security, precision machine cut brass pinion gear, rigid diecast aluminum body, sideplate and rotor, machined anodized aluminum spool, hydro block water tight drag seal…\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are some specific differences between the Japanese and standard versions of the Azores reels. The Blue models offer getter gears, longer lasting, with greater pulling power given their larger size. Please click on the Okuma document at the right for more details. The new 2019 BLUE Azores are a significant upgrade product (which is an excellent reel anywhere near it’s price), but these Japanese market Okuma reels don’t have the expected “upgrade” price.  I’d say get ’em before the guys at Okuma realize they came to market too low…\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable class=\"dcf-table dcf-table-responsive dcf-table-bordered dcf-table-striped dcf-w-100%\"\u003e\t\u003cthead\u003e\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\t\t\t\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eMODEL\u003c\/th\u003e\t\t\t\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eBEARINGS\u003c\/th\u003e\t\t\t\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eGEAR RATIO\u003c\/th\u003e\t\t\t\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eLINE CAPACITY\u003c\/th\u003e\t\t\t\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eRETRIEVE\u003c\/th\u003e\t\t\t\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eDRAG\u003c\/th\u003e\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\t\u003c\/thead\u003e\t\u003ctbody\u003e\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\t\t\t\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eZ-4000H-BLUE\u003c\/th\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"BEARINGS\"\u003e6BB+1RB\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"GEAR RATIO\"\u003e5.8:1\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"LINE CAPACITY\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMONO 300\/8 (0.26), 250\/10 (0.29)\u003cbr\u003eBRAID 215\/30, 150\/40\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"RETRIEVE\"\u003e35.8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"DRAG\"\u003e28-LBS\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\t\t\t\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eZ-6000H-BLUE\u003c\/th\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"BEARINGS\"\u003e6BB+1RB\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"GEAR RATIO\"\u003e5.8:1\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"LINE CAPACITY\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMONO 310\/12 (0.31), 215\/16 (0.37)\u003cbr\u003eBRAID 270\/50, 180\/65\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"RETRIEVE\"\u003e41.2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"DRAG\"\u003e29-LBS\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\t\t\t\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eZ-8000H-BLUE\u003c\/th\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"BEARINGS\"\u003e6BB+1RB\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"GEAR RATIO\"\u003e5.4:1\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"LINE CAPACITY\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMONO 320\/16 (0.37), 270\/20 (0.41)\u003cbr\u003eBRAID 370\/50, 245\/65\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"RETRIEVE\"\u003e43.4\"\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"DRAG\"\u003e44-LBS\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\t\t\t\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eZ-14000H-BLUE\u003c\/th\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"BEARINGS\"\u003e6BB+1RB\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"GEAR RATIO\"\u003e5.4:1\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"LINE CAPACITY\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMONO 470\/16 (0.37), 400\/20 (0.41)\u003cbr\u003eBRAID 300\/65, 240\/80\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"RETRIEVE\"\u003e47.4\"\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd data-label=\"DRAG\"\u003e44-LBS\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Z-4000H","offer_id":68026022953188,"sku":"Z-4000H-BLUE","price":150.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Z-6000H","offer_id":68026022985956,"sku":"Z-6000H-BLUE","price":155.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Z-8000H","offer_id":68026023018724,"sku":"Z-8000H-BLUE","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Z-14000H","offer_id":68026023051492,"sku":"Z-14000H-BLUE","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/4218\/4164\/files\/azores1.jpg?v=1793342440","url":"https:\/\/fishpulse.store\/products\/okuma-azores-blue-saltwater-spinning-reels","provider":"FishPulse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
