{"product_id":"okuma-tenma-lever-drag-casting-reels","title":"Okuma Tenma Lever Drag Casting Reels","description":"\u003cp\u003eI've been asking Okuma to bring this reel in for the past 3 years after seeing its first prototype iteration at the Osaka fishing show, and they've finally made it happen. The Tenma first released in Japan about a year ago and has been the hottest selling product they've ever brought to the JDM market, a true casting niche focused piece that few manufacturers are able to match. These reels are purpose built for casting lures such as stickbaits and poppers to a variety of hard pulling species including: GT, amberjack, tuna and yellowtail. With conventional casting gear growing in popularity due to the ease and accuracy of casting with straight braid and heavier leaders. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is it great for us here? \u003c\/strong\u003eThe high 7.0:1 gear ratio may put some people off, but the main gear is giant giving it plenty of torque and it casts like a dream with its 21 setting magnetic cast control. It will work well for surface irons, smaller lead jigs like Daiwa Zakana's and of course the stickbaits and poppers it was designed for. The high gear ratio and torque is especially great for wahoo bomb fishing since it gives you great distance and enough retrieve rate to get the bite, this makes it very versatile since it covers so many different styles of fishing instead of requiring a dedicated setup for each. At 19.1oz this reel is lighter than most reels of the size and closely comparable to 500 size low profiles that have become popular, while still holding more line. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Tenma is made to be fished with braided main line only\u003c\/strong\u003e. You can use a leader of mono or fluoro on top but the spool is cold forged and machined to be lighter to maximize casting distance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame and side plates are fully machined aluminum, so the reel stays rigid under load. Inside, the XL GEAR main and pinion gears are 17-4 stainless steel. The 7.0:1 ratio picks up 47.2 inches of line with each turn of the handle. The Carbonite drag runs on Cal's drag grease and reaches 33 lb at maximum, and a dual anti-reverse backs it with both a mechanical anti-reverse and a one-way clutch bearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aluminum handle arm adjusts between 93 mm and 105 mm, shorter for working a lure and longer for more leverage on a fish, and it carries a C40X carbon knob. Okuma Japan lists the reel at 542 g, about 19.1 oz, and its size chart puts the frame between the Cavalla 5 and the Cavalla 12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eModels\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"dcf-table dcf-table-responsive dcf-table-bordered dcf-table-striped dcf-w-100%\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eRetrieve\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eGear Ratio\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eRetrieve Rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eMax Drag\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eBearings\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eBraid\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTM-10WXA\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Retrieve\"\u003eRight hand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Gear Ratio\"\u003e7.0:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Retrieve Rate\"\u003e47.2 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Max Drag\"\u003e33 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Weight\"\u003e542 g (19.1 oz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Bearings\"\u003e6BB + 1RB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Braid\"\u003e65 lb \/ 410 yd\u003cbr\u003e80 lb \/ 320 yd\u003cbr\u003e100 lb \/ 270 yd\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTM-10WXLA\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Retrieve\"\u003eLeft hand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Gear Ratio\"\u003e7.0:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Retrieve Rate\"\u003e47.2 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Max Drag\"\u003e33 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Weight\"\u003e542 g (19.1 oz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Bearings\"\u003e6BB + 1RB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-label=\"Braid\"\u003e65 lb \/ 410 yd\u003cbr\u003e80 lb \/ 320 yd\u003cbr\u003e100 lb \/ 270 yd\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two models are the same reel with the handle on the right (TM-10WXA) or the left (TM-10WXLA).
