Okuma Solterra SLX Lever Drag Saltwater Trolling Reel – SLX-10Lb, 380yds/20lb, Black

Designed to endure saltwater duty

The Okuma Solterra SLX “B” Lever Drag Reels are built with a corrosion‑resistant frame and side plates, giving you a sturdy platform in briny environments. Stainless steel main gears, pinion gears, and shafts are crafted for durability under long battles and varied tactics. The reel’s compact, balanced feel helps you maintain control as you work through demanding conditions, from choppy seas to calm, glassy mornings.

Smooth, powerful drag and precise control

A carbonite drag system, paired with Cal’s universal drag grease, delivers a smooth, progressive feel as you fine‑tune the drag with the ratcheting lever. Two thrust bearings reduce handle turning force by more than half, aiding control during heavy runs and letting you stay focused on the bite and line management rather than gear noise or fatigue.

Versatile performance across techniques

With a wide range of options, the Solterra SLX “B” series adapts to high speed jigging, big game trolling, bait fishing, and general bottom fishing. The design supports multiple line and rigging setups, making it a flexible choice for mixed trips and evolving conditions—from steep offshore drops to nearshore structure work.
