Okuma Epixor XT Spinning Reel: Balanced, durable performance for versatile fishing

The Okuma Epixor XT combines a lightweight feel with rugged reliability, using C-40X carbon fiber composite construction and torsion control Armor to reduce flex and add stiffness. This blend results in a reel that stays responsive through long days on the water while delivering steady, predictable performance when casting and retrieving.
