The Okuma Andros was the first reel designed and manufactured to maximize the experience when fishing small-diameter, high-strength braided lines. Andros delivers construction elements and drag output to land larger fish on smaller, more agile gear than ever before thought possible.
Cornerstone to the Andros platform is high-end drag pressure. Capable of producing 15- to 34-pounds of drag at strike with complete freespool, Andros now utilizes the Okuma Dual Force Drag from the Makaira product line to reduce side loading and handle binding under heavy drag settings. Further upgrades across the product line include a stainless steel ratcheting drag plate, machined aluminum shifter gear housing and extended handle length. Anglers will not be able to miss Andros’ new cosmetics, featuring bright silver with black spool and handle.
Structurally, all Andros “a” series reels maintain the superior elements the family has become known for: rigid 1-pcs machined aluminum frame and left sideplate construction, cold forged, Type-II anodized, machined aluminum spool, 17-4 grade stainless steel helical cut gearing, greased Carbonite drag system utilizing Cal’s drag grease and the Okuma penetrating Corrosion Resistant Coating process throughout.
