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.
