Okuma Cavalla Midnight Blue Limited Edition Reels
Okuma has released a special edition color for the Cavalla series, making the original reels look even better. These are awesome reels with features that punch well above their price point. The Cavalla series features a machined aluminum frame and gear box, making them very robust and resistant to corrosion unlike cast aluminum painted reels commonly found in this price range. These limited edition models come with a forged carbon fiber handle knob to accent the midnight blue and gunmetal externals, this can be more comfortable than the stock Cavalla handle for a lot of different applications. The single speed slow pitch jigging model comes with the newer T-Bar handle which is a lot more comfortable for working heavier jigs.
As with the standard series you still get a stainless steel gear and pinion set which is more durable than the brass found in other lever drags. The main reels are all two speeds except the slow pitch model, making them very versatile for all kinds of fishing including live bait, lures, jigging and even trolling since the larger sizes come with lugs that can be installed. Okuma also includes a clamp kit in the box for all models, which is great to see since a lot of manufacturers avoid the clamp on narrow sizes. Beyond that Okuma has managed to include a 3-Year Warranty with these reels showing their commitment to stand behind their products.
