Star Performer

Compact yet capable offshore performers are increasingly popular, and Okuma has brought a contender to the party with the Cortez 5 ­star-drag reel. Utilizing key components of Okuma’s Andros and ­Cedros families, and boasting a capacity of 400 yards of 50-pound braid, the Cortez is a good fit for casting, vertical jigging and live-baiting for an array of species. The reel features stainless-steel gearing with a 6.2:1 ratio, dual anti-reverse systems and a multidisk Carbonite drag. The reel foot is built low and recessed in the frame to reduce reel ­wobble when jigging or fighting fish.

Price: $139.99
