Built for the most demanding offshore conditions, the Okuma Cavalla 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel is a compact powerhouse designed to offer high-end performance at an accessible price point. This reel is an evolution of the popular Metaloid series, refining the drag curve and shifting engagement for a smoother, more reliable experience when battling trophy fish.

Rugged Construction & Durability

The Cavalla is engineered with a rigid one-piece 6061-T6 machined aluminum frame and side plates, providing maximum strength and torque resistance. This solid foundation ensures that the internal components stay in perfect alignment under heavy loads.

  • Corrosion Resistance: Features Okuma’s Corrosion Resistant Coating (CRC) process, where a layer of Corrosion X HD is applied to all internal and external parts to penetrate and bond with the metal.

  • Gearing: Equipped with heavy-duty 17-4 grade stainless steel main and pinion gears for unmatched durability and cranking power.

  • Spool: A cold-forged, Type-II anodized machined aluminum spool provides a sleek, rugged finish that withstands the pressure of tightly wound braided lines.

High-Performance Drag System

The heart of the Cavalla is its battle-proven Carbonite drag system.

  • Cal’s Drag Grease: The carbon drag washers are pre-greased with Cal's universal drag grease for incredibly smooth and consistent pressure throughout the entire range.

  • Dual Speed Versatility: The 2-speed gearing allows you to switch seamlessly between a high-speed retrieve (up to 6.4:1) for quick line pickup and a low-speed gear (down to 2.1:1) for pure winching power against stubborn deep-water species.

Ergonomics & Smooth Operation

  • Silent Retrieve: A silent anti-reverse system ensures smooth cranking without the constant "clicking" found in many older conventional reels.

  • Ergo Grip: Features an oversized, soft-touch Ergo Grip handle knob on a 90mm long anodized aluminum handle arm, providing massive leverage for bottom fishing or pulling on big tuna.

  • Bait Clicker: Includes a dual-spring on/off bait clicker for increased tension and a louder sound, making it easier to hear strikes over engine noise.
