The folks from Okuma have plenty of new gear on the market this fall for Northeast and Mid-Atlantic anglers, as we learn in this interview with The Fisherman’s Jenni Ackerman and Okuma’s Dave Brown. First up is the new Okuma Tesoro Lever Drag Jigging Reels (model LDJ), a mid-gear conventional reel engineered for serious saltwater anglers who demand power, control, and long-term durability when slow pitch jigging ($449). Also new from Okuma this season is a crossover reel for hardcore use in fresh and salt, the new Safyre spinning reel available in sizes 1000 to 5000, with high-speed options in select sizes (starting at $84.99)
