Catalina Line Counters

The Catalina Linecounter a reel is built to handle the elements and features the most technologically advanced features available on the market today.

The frame is constructed from A6061-T6 extruded aluminum, along with a machined aluminum, gold anodized spool for ultimate strength and durability. The sideplates are constructed with stainless steel reinforcing sideplate rings for added strength.

This series has been designed with an upgraded levelwind system called the Wide Mouth Levelwind. This heavy duty, stainless steel levelwind is Titanium coated and built to withstand the punishment of braided and wire lines. The guide has been designed with an increased opening to insure proper knot clearance when fishing with double lines. This wide space allows for Albright or similar connection knots, as well as swivels and copper lines to pass through the guide easier and be wound directly on the spool.

Okuma’s Mechanical Stabilizing System (MSS) has also been incorporated into this series. The MSS is a support system that ties the spool shaft, pinion gear, pinion gear bearing, drive shaft and main gear together with a single support system. While other reels on the market offer minimal or no gear stabilization, this patented Okuma design allows all of these critical parts to stay in precise alignment. Designed specifically to hold up to the demands of braided and wire line fishing, the MSS support system stabilizes the spool shaft at 3 key stress points to eliminate flex under pressure.

Another strong feature on the Catalina Linecounter a series is Okuma’s new Tension Spool Control (TSC). The TSC knob is a small secondary carbon fiber drag system that incorporates an additional one-way clutch bearing that applies pressure to the spool in one direction. This allows baits to be dropped back at a controlled rate while the boat is in gear without having the spool in complete freespool. The knob is clearly defined by its rich red anodizing color.

As with all Okuma linecounters, the Catalina Linecounter a is designed with the Strike Zone line counter system. This system incorporates a mechanical counter that precisely measures line based on spool revolutions. These counters measure in feet and are calibrated at the factory to be most accurate with a full spool and monofilament lines.

Additional features include a multi-disc Carbonite drag system, a ratcheting star drag for precise drag settings, a 3BB+2RB stainless steel bearing drive system, a dual anti-reverse system. (mechanical and roller bearing), oversized hardened brass XL gearing system, Self-lubricating gear system on all models, a silent retrieve system for increased smoothness and all Catalina Linecounter a series reels are backed by a 3-year warranty.
