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 Avenger ABF Series of Baitcasting Reels are known for
providing a combination of quality construction, great
performance, and affordable value. Okuma's patented baitfeeding
system allows for disengagement of the spool and free-running
line without opening the bail. Predators are allowed to pick up a
bait and run with little resistance as they commit to eating--in
order to provide a solid hookset. With a turn of the handle, the
spool and drag system engage to set the hook and fight the fish.
Coming in sizes 20 through 90 to accommodate most applications,
from walleye to catfish--and--stripers to rockfish, this series
has most baitcast anglers covered.

Avenger's On/Off Auto Trip Baitfeeding System:
Okuma's Avenger baitfeeding system allows anglers to disengage
their spinning reel spool and allow their bait to run freely. The
baitfeeding system incorporates a secondary, micro-adjustable
drag system at the rear of the reel that allows for precise
adjustment of the spool for bait control. In order to disengage
this system, simply turn the handle. The On/Off lever on the rear
of the reel will automatically disengage the baitfeeding system
so you can fight your fish with the main drag system.
