Okuma X-Series Low Profile Baitcast Reel X-100HA – 5.6 oz, 24 lb Drag

Meet the Okuma X-Series X-100HA, a low-profile baitcast reel designed for anglers who want sturdiness without weight on the water. The diecast aluminum frame and C-40X carbon injected side plates combine to create a rigid, responsive feel while keeping the reel at a featherweight 5.6 oz.

On the inside, a machined aluminum main gear and brass pinion deliver a precise, tournament-ready feel with every turn. The Carbonite drag system sustains up to 24 lbs of stopping power and works in concert with a micro-click drag star and spool tension knob to give you tactile control during retrieves.

The spool is machined aluminum and ported to reduce weight while optimizing casting performance. Quick-Set anti-reverse roller bearing minimizes back play for crisp hooksets when you need them most. The Velocity Control System offers 18 adjustable positions, allowing fine-tuning for various baits and water conditions. The hinged palm side plate gives easy access to Velocity Cast control, and an adjustable line management system ensures line stays where you want it during long casts or tight pitches.

Designed for versatility, the X-100HA is available in a 100 size with left- or right-hand retrieve and offers two gear ratios: 7.3:1 for balanced power and speed, and 8.1:1 for faster retrieves. This combination supports a range of fishing techniques, from finesse baits to heavier trash fish scenarios, enabling anglers to adapt on the fly.

Key benefits at a glance:

• Rigid diecast aluminum frame for lasting stiffness and a solid feel
