The Okuma HSX-20 Helios SX Spinning Reel brings a sleek, modern design to anglers looking for a lightweight, high-performance reel that offers durability and strength. Built with Okuma's proprietary C-40X carbon, the body, sideplate, and rotor of the Helios SX feature a long strand carbon construction that significantly reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity. This lightweight design, combined with advanced technology, makes it an ideal reel for those who value both strength and finesse in their fishing gear.
The Helios SX is equipped with an 8HPB + 1RB bearing system, using corrosion-resistant stainless steel bearings that ensure a smooth operation even in harsh saltwater environments. Its aluminum main gear contributes to the reduced weight, while the machined cut brass pinion gear provides exceptional smoothness and precise gear alignment. Together, these features result in a reel that offers reliable performance, cast after cast, without compromising on comfort or control.
The HSX-20 model has a gear ratio of 5.0:1, which provides a versatile balance between power and retrieve speed. This reel retrieves 21.9 inches of line per crank, making it suitable for various fishing techniques, from working lures quickly to allowing for more deliberate and controlled presentations. With a maximum drag of 13 lbs, the Helios SX offers enough stopping power for a wide range of fish species, giving you the confidence to battle even larger catches with ease.
The reel also boasts impressive line capacity for both mono and braid, allowing anglers to choose their preferred setup. The HSX-20 can hold 160 yards of 4 lb mono line, 100 yards of 6 lb line, or 80 yards of 8 lb line. For braided line, the reel has a capacity of 130 yards of 10 lb braid or 110 yards of 15 lb braid, making it highly adaptable for different fishing situations. Whether you are casting inshore for redfish or targeting bass in freshwater, the Okuma HSX-20 Helios SX provides the durability, control, and performance needed for success.
