Okuma Avenger ABF Graphite Bait Feeder Spinning Reel ABF-500 | Precision Bait Control

Elevate your bait fishing with the Okuma Avenger ABF ABF-500

The Okuma Avenger ABF ABF-500 combines a classic spinning reel platform with a refined bait-feeding system. This design lets you disengage the spool to let bait run freely, while a rear micro-adjustable drag provides precise control. When you’re ready to fight, a simple turn of the handle re-engages the main drag, keeping you in command from start to finish.

Key features that matter on the water

• BAITFEEDING SYSTEM – Disengage the spool to let live bait swim, then use the rear micro-adjustable drag for exact control of bait movement.
• ON/OFF AUTO TRIP – A convenient turn of the handle automatically disengages the secondary drag, making the transition to fighting fish smooth.
• STRENGTH WHERE YOU NEED IT – Machined aluminum, two-tone anodized spool, and a rigid handle design reduce flex and improve durability when term of pressure increases.
• CORROSION RESISTANT – Graphite body with CFR rotor keeps internal parts shielded from water and spray while maintaining balanced performance.
• ULTIMATE IN SMOOTHNESS – Brass pinion gear paired with seven stainless steel bearings and a multi-disc, Japanese-oiled drag for a refined retrieve.

• Freshwater anglers targeting trout, catfish, and other bait-friendly species who want reliable bait control without sacrificing feel.
