Saltwater Spinning Reels & Gear

Introducing Okuma's Tesoro Spinning Reels, designed with an Alumilite body, side plate, and Cyclonic Flow Rotor for unparalleled strength and performance. With IPX-7 waterproof technology, these reels offer the ultimate in features and protection, allowing you to dominate any fishing situation from inshore to offshore.

The Tesoro features a 12HPB + 1RB corrosion-resistant stainless-steel bearing drive as well as a Carbonite high output DFD drag system with Cal's drag grease that puts out over 55 pounds of pure fish-stopping drag. The reel is built with a custom titanium spool shaft that reduces flex and weight, as well as oversized brass main gear and C-6191 brass pinion gear that is double supported with ball bearings. The frictionless main shaft design provides smooth operation day in and day out, while the dual anti-reverse system provides maximum strength and reliability.

The rigid machined aluminum screw-in handle design provides direct feedback when turning the handle and locks solidly into place. A rotor brake system works in conjunction with the Tesoro's manual bail trip design for precise control. There are six total models within the Tesoro Spinning reel lineup: 6,000, 8,000, 10,000, 14,000, 18,000, and 20,000 sizes. The three smaller sizes feature high-speed gearing at 5.8:1 with retrieval of 49" of line per turn of the handle. The three larger sizes feature 4.4:1 gear ratio and pick up close to 42" of line per handle turn. All models have an interchangeable screw-in handle system that can be changed from left to right-hand retrieve.

When you need a premium saltwater spinning reel with IPX-7 waterproof technology, Alumilite construction, over 55 lbs of drag, and titanium spool shaft for battling trophy fish, the Okuma Tesoro Spinning Reels are the choice of serious offshore and inshore anglers.

The Shimano Twin Power SW Spinning Reels are designed for anglers demanding strength and durability. The TwinPower SWC dominates even the most challenging fighting offshore game fish. Now featuring Infinity Drive to provide anglers with more cranking power under load, the TwinPower SW will put anglers in the driver's seat to win the battle even against the most hard-fighting game fish.

New for 2021, the TwinPower SW 10000 and 14000 models incorporate Shimano's Heatsink Drag to deliver overwhelming drag performance by dissipating heat away from the spool to reduce drag-force drop caused by friction. The Heatsink Drag also provides insulation against potentially-damaging heat flowing into the line to give the anglers increased performance during blistering runs and long fights with hard-fighting game fish.

Whether targeting reef species with jigs or pitching live baits to pelagics, the new TwinPower SW empowers anglers to have a distinct advantage and conquer any battle.

Features:

Daiwa's premium mid-tier spinning reel, the Certate LT bridges the gap between performance and durability with a technology stack that punches well above its price point. The MC Tough Digigear system is the centerpiece — machine-cut gears engineered to minimize stress on the line retrieval process and maintain smooth, reliable cranking power even under the sustained loads of intense saltwater battles. The Aluminum MQ (Monocoque) Body provides a rigid, one-piece frame that eliminates flex under load, keeping the gear mesh precise and consistent from the first cast to the last.

The Zaion Airdrive Rotor and Airdrive Bail work together to reduce rotational weight for a lighter, more responsive feel on every retrieve, while MagSeal technology protects the pinion bearing and line roller from saltwater intrusion, sand, and debris — extending reel longevity in harsh environments. ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) delivers consistent, dependable drag pressure from the initial hookup through sustained fights. Available in 6 sizes from LT 2500D-H to LT 5000D-XH-A. 

Key Features

• MC Tough Digigear — Machine-cut gears engineered for maximum strength and smoothness; minimizes stress on the line retrieval process and maintains reliable cranking power under heavy load.
• Aluminum MQ (Monocoque) Body — One-piece aluminum frame eliminates body flex under load, keeping gear mesh precise and consistent for lasting smooth performance.
• Zaion Airdrive Rotor — Lightweight, high-strength Zaion carbon rotor reduces rotational weight for a lighter, more responsive feel on every retrieve without sacrificing rigidity.
• Airdrive Bail — Redesigned bail system reduces weight and improves line flow for smoother, more consistent casting performance.
• MagSeal (Pinion & Line Roller) — Magnetic oil seal protects the pinion bearing and line roller from saltwater, sand, and debris; extends reel longevity in harsh saltwater environments.
• ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) — Drag grease with low viscosity at rest that becomes more viscous immediately after drag startup; reduces initial inertia for a smoother drag from the first moment of hookup.
• LT (Light & Tough) Concept — Daiwa's design philosophy combining reduced weight with increased strength; the Certate LT delivers premium performance in a lighter, more balanced package.

The Shimano Baitrunner D Series is the benchmark in baitrunner spinning reels — engineered for anglers who fish live or cut bait in both saltwater and freshwater environments.

How the Baitrunner System Works

Cast your bait, then flip the lever on the back of the reel to engage free-spool mode. The bail stays closed while your bait swims naturally — no more missed hooksets from a spinning reel that can't close fast enough on a hard-running fish. When you're ready to fight, simply turn the handle and the main drag engages instantly.

Adjustable Free-Spool Drag

The rear dial lets you fine-tune the free-spool tension on the fly. Slow down a large, fast-swimming bait or open up the spool for a lighter presentation — all without touching your main drag setting.

Key Features

• Baitrunner lever for true free-spool fishing with bail closed
• Adjustable rear free-spool drag dial
• Instant main drag engagement on handle turn
• Suitable for saltwater and freshwater live bait applications
• Available in 4000D, 6000D, 8000D, and 12000D sizes
