Lightweight Precision Meets Proven Strength The Okuma Helios XT Low Profile Baitcast Reel is built for anglers who demand high-performance casting, refined control, and dependable strength in a lightweight package. Designed with a rigid ALC aluminum frame, the Helios XT delivers exceptional durability and stability under load, while the C-40X carbon gear sideplate and palm sideplate reduce weight without sacrificing strength. At the heart of the reel is a precision drivetrain featuring a CNC-cut aluminum drive gear with anodizing paired with a machine-cut brass pinion gear. This combination ensures smooth, efficient power transfer and long-lasting performance. The 10BB + 1RB bearing system provides ultra-smooth operation, making every cast and retrieve effortless. For casting control, the Helios XT is equipped with an internal adjustable centrifugal braking system, allowing anglers to fine-tune performance for a wide range of baits and conditions. Whether you&';re skipping docks, bombing casts, or working finesse presentations, this reel gives you the confidence to stay in control. When it&';s time to put the pressure on, the multi-disc Stainless Steel and Carbonite drag system delivers smooth, consistent stopping power-perfect for battling hard-fighting fish. The 90mm swept aluminum handle offers a comfortable grip and increased leverage, giving you better control throughout the fight. Finished with a JDM-style audible drag click, the Helios XT provides added feedback and connection during drag engagement-an appreciated feature for anglers who want to stay dialed in. Backed by a 3-year limited warranty, the Helios XT is built to perform season after season.
