OKUMA HELIOS

LOWPROFILE BAITCASTING REEL

#HS-26V

For 2012, Okuma introduces the Helios family of low-profile baitcast reels. Helios low-profile reels break down barriers in the ultra-light category, weighing just 6.3 ounces while maintaining a full aluminum frame and handle-side aluminum side plate.

The Helios low-profile baitcast reel is a marvel of efficient, refined engineering. Its' ultra-light 6.3 ounce overall weight is achieved while maintaining core aluminum structural elements including the frame, handle-side side plate and machined spool. On the inside, Helios features ultra-light yet powerful aluminum gears and shafts, components commonly reserved for reels twice Helios' cost. Where reels in this category continue to include more and more composites, Helios enters as a leaned out fighter; all the muscle with simply less mass.
