                                            Bold, in both design and its 7.3:1 high-speed gear ratio that’s available in both right and left hand retrieve, the Okuma Citrix makes an aggressive statement by itself, and even more so when paired with a matching Citrix rod.                                        
                                        
                                            Okuma Ceymar XT spinning reels feature cyclonic flow rotor design Increase air flow through the ported rotor, minimizing water intrusion and corrosion. The precision elliptical gearing system creates less friction during casting for increased distance, greater accuracy, and longer line life, as well as smoother, much uniform drag pressures.
