The Okuma Tesoro Lever Drag Jigging Reel is engineered for expert saltwater anglers demanding power, precision, and durability. Its solid one-piece 6061-T6 machined aluminum frame and forged side plates provide exceptional strength for high-drag jigging.

Perfect for vertical and slow pitch jigging, it features a cold-forged, Type-II anodized spool that ensures consistent performance. The advanced Carbonite Dual Force Drag system offers up to 46 pounds of smooth, controlled drag, while the reel’s design guarantees reliable operation under extreme pressure. Every aspect of the Tesoro LDJ is built to excel in tough saltwater environments.

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.
