With names like Makaira, Alijos, Cavalla, and Tesoro, Okuma has been a major player in the offshore game for quite some time. This year, Okuma releases the new Tesoro Spinning Reels to complement the Big Game Saltwater arsenal.
Okuma’s new Tesoro Spinning reels have been built from the bottom up. These reels are constructed with Okuma’s Alumilite body, side plate, and Cyclonic Flow Rotor construction for the ultimate in strength. With an IPX-7 full-body waterproof design, the Tesoro Spinning reels feature the ultimate in features and protection.
The Tesoro features a 12HPB + 1RB corrosion-resistant stainless-steel bearing drive as well as a carbonite high output DFD drag system with Cal’s drag grease that puts out over 55-pounds of pure fish stopping drag. The reel is built with a custom titanium spool shaft that reduces flex and weight as well as oversized brass main gear and C-6191 brass pinion gear that is double supported with ball bearings. The frictionless main shaft design provides smooth operation day in and day out. The dual anti-reverse system provides maximum strength and reliability. The rigid machined aluminum screw-in handle design provides direct feedback when turning the handle and locks solidly into place. A rotor brake system works in conjunction with the Tesoro’s manual bail trip design.
There are seen total models within the Tesoro Spinning reel lineup. A 4,000, 6,000, 8,000, 10,000, 14,000, 18,000 and 20,000 size. The 4,000 size features a 6.2"1 gear ratio and the 6,000 and 8,000 sizes feature high-speed gearing at 5.8:1 with retrieval of 49” of line per turn of the handle. The two larger sizes feature 4.4:1 gear ratio and pick up close to 42” of line per handle turn. All models have an interchangeable screw-in handle system that can be changed from left to right-hand retrieve.

Proposition 65 is a California law that applies to companies selling products in California. Proposition 65 requires warnings if a product contains any listed chemical present above very low levels. Proposition 65’s warning standards are among the most stringent in the world. Proposition 65 is not a product safety law, but rather a "right-to-know" law. Businesses are required to provide warnings to comply with Proposition 65.
There are over 800 chemicals on the Proposition 65 list, which is administered by California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency. The list includes naturally occurring and man-made chemicals. Proposition 65 warnings can be seen for a wide variety of everyday consumer products, including electronic equipment, and warnings can be seen posted throughout California in a variety of establishments such as buildings, hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, and stores.
Why do you see the warning on our packaging and website?
The warning is part of our ongoing effort to comply with the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (known as "Proposition 65").
