The Okuma Avenger "ABF" baitfeeder spinning reel reflects a
refinement and precision that is the culmination of a decade of research and
development. It is a unique combination of tournament grade spinning reel and
Okuma's patented live line bait feeding system
The Avenger "ABF" series puts a new spin on the traditional world of reels,
and more importantly, what can be expected from them. Quite simply, these are
ultra smooth, precision crafted reels. The light weight CNC machined spools
are fitted with super smooth oil-soaked felt washers. The reel features six
sealed ball bearings, for smooth operation.
The Avenger ABF uses Okuma's live bait feeding system. The easy-to-reach lever
(located on the body behind the handle) disengages the spool to allow the line
to run freely. The tension of the free spool can be adjusted with the rear adjustment
(which looks and works like a rear drag). The bait feeding system allows a fish
to pick up the bait and run without feeling the drag of the reel. When you are
ready to set the hook, you flip down the baitfeeder lever to engage the drag,
and the conventional front drag takes over.
The Quick Set anti-reverse system guarantees rock solid hook sets and eliminates
handle play. The Avenger will easily gain a position in the arsenal of the most
discerning of tournament pros.
