Master the art of live bait fishing with the Okuma Ceymar Baitfeeder “A” Spinning Reels, a reel that blends the legendary performance of the Ceymar series with a precision secondary drag system. This “A” generation upgrade introduces the Flite Drive system, which uses a hollowed-out pinion gear to reduce friction and deliver an incredibly light, zero-inertia start-up for seamless casting and retrieving.
Designed for both freshwater and saltwater, the Ceymar Baitfeeder “A” is built on a corrosion-resistant graphite frame, sideplate, and rotor. Its standout feature is the On/Off auto-trip bait feeding system, which allows fish to pick up your bait and run with nearly zero resistance. Once the fish commits, a simple turn of the handle automatically engages the main drag for a rock-solid hook set.
Key Features:
- Baitfeeding System: Secondary drag system allows live bait to swim naturally and automatically re-engages the main drag with a turn of the handle
- Flite Drive Technology: Reduces internal friction by hollowing the pinion gear, providing an effortless, ultra-smooth handle turn
- Carbonite Drag System: Features multi-disc Carbonite washers for smooth, consistent pressure, delivering up to 26 lbs of max drag on larger models
- 7BB+1RB Bearing Drive: High-quality stainless steel bearings and Quick-Set anti-reverse ensure ultimate smoothness and reliable hook sets
- Cyclonic Flow Rotor (CFR): Creates cyclonic airflow that quickly dries the reel, minimizing internal water intrusion and corrosion
- Rigid Metal Handle: Provides maximum stability and power during intense battles with trophy-sized fish
- LCS Line Control Spool: Machined aluminum, 2-tone anodized spool with specialized lip for longer casting distance and superior line management
