The Okuma 6000-FD reel is compatible with both monofilament and braided fishing lines. Choose the line based on the fishing conditions and target species.

How often should I lubricate the reel?

Lubricate the reel after every few uses or when you notice it becoming stiff.

The line clips help you to accurately cast to the same distance repeatedly.

How do I clean the reel?

Rinse the reel with freshwater after each use and wipe it down with a soft cloth.

What is CFR (Cyclonic Flow Rotor)?
