The Okuma ITX Carbon spinning reels are a lightweight, compact bodied spinning reel constructed of rigid C-40X long strand carbon fiber. This C-40X process is 25 percent stronger than standard graphite reels. Lightweight and rigid the C-40X rotor and its TCA construction make the ITX perfect for your freshwater and light inshore needs. The ITX features a multi-disc, carbon fiber drag system with Okuma's Hydro Block Gasket, keeping water out and your drag running smooth. The 7HPG +1RB High Performance, grease packed bearings keep the reel running smoothly along with the precision machine cut brass pinion gear. And the Quick-Set anti-reverse roller bearing stops the reel on a dime. ITX reels are designed with Okuma's CFR, Cyclonic Flow Rotor technology which sweeps water away from the two-toned anodized machined aluminum spool. The 1,000, 2,500, 3,000 and 4,000 size reels all come standard with 6.0:1 high speed gearing. One of the key features of the new ITX Carbon reels is the machined aluminum, screw-in handle design keeping your handle running tight with no more loosening screws.
