Okuma LS

An Excellent Tool for Deadbaiting Pike and Zander

The Okuma LS is a free spool fixed spool reel built primarily for long-range carp fishing, yet its versatility makes it equally well suited to deadbaiting for pike and zander. At the heart of the reel is the on/off Auto-Trip Bait-Feed system, which delivers instant, controlled free spool whenever you need it. A slow oscillation system combined with a long 30 mm spool stroke works together to lay line with precision, maximising both casting distance and accuracy. Pair that with the worm gear drive and every cast feels noticeably smoother and travels further - a real advantage when predators are holding at range.

More Power in a Smaller Body

The standout engineering of the Okuma LS is its compact body design that delivers more power without increasing size. Okuma has completely redesigned the main gear: a 15 % larger diameter and 15 % deeper teeth enable a maximum power transfer of up to 30 % more. That allows a high-speed gear ratio resulting in a line retrieve of 103 cm per crank. The combination of the long-stroke spool release and this oversized gear delivers solid performance with tighter tolerances for precise gear alignment and long-term durability.

Long-Lasting Durability and Sensitive Drag Adjustment

Inside the corrosion-resistant graphite body, 5 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing provide a smooth, consistent feel that is further refined by the RESII computer-balanced rotor system. The quick progressive drag system gives you full control during the fight, allowing sensitive adjustments to braking force at any point. Durability is assured by the worm gear oscillation system, machine-cut brass pinion gear, and a robust heavy-duty aluminium bail wire. Completing the package are a machine-cut aluminium spool, two round metal line clips for precise presentation, and an elegant precision zinc handle arm with a classic wooden knob in a retro design.
