Description
Helios SX Spinning Reel
Okuma Helios SX spinning reels are constructed of C-40X carbon and the TORSION CONTROL ARMOR® design makes the reel extremely rigid and lighter, also reduces twist and torque and keeps the internal parts in perfect alignment for freshwater and inshore saltwater fishing.

Technology
Centrifugal Disc Bail (CDB)
The Centrifugal Disc Bail (CDB) design incorporates a heavier brass disc that is perfectly weighted and balanced to create smoother bail operations. CDB increases the strength and stability of bail functions.
Progressive Drag
Okuma’s 1-K woven carbon fiber drag knob is light weight and creates progressive drag settings. Our progressive drag allows you to customize settings to specific conditions and fish or adjust your drag during a long fight.
C-40X
Okuma’s C-40X long strand carbon fiber technology utilizes a special blended graphite polymer. The carbon fibers in this material are elongated and reinforced, which creates a substantially stronger composite than standard graphite. At 25% lighter, 50% stronger and 100% anti-corrosive, C-40X translates into an extremely lightweight and durably constructed.
Cyclonic Flow Rotor (CFR)
Cyclonic Flow Rotor (CFR) was designed to create “cyclonic” airflow, which significantly increases air around the rotor, beneath and around the spool, with every turn of the handle. This thoroughly tested design allows for a much faster drying time if the reel becomes wet, minimizing corrosion and extending the longevity of the reel.
TORSION CONTROL ARMOR® (TCA™)
The one-piece TCA™ design was built using Okuma C-40X carbon fiber technology and made with a double-arm design. Compared to traditional single-side designs, TCA™’s double arm offers higher torsion and flex resistance under heavy pressure for improved strength. This not only makes the reel lighter but also extremely rigid ensuring the internal parts stay in perfect alignment.
