Okuma Obsidian - Obsidian is a type of mineral born in the very heart of planet Earth. It is of volcanic origin and is formed by the solidification of lava ejected from the depths of the earth to the surface. The stone that is created by volcanic lava is amazingly beautiful. It has a very rich and vibrant palette and is also incredibly durable. What has he prepared for us? Okuma naming your reel after such a majestic rock?
Characteristics of Okuma Obsidian
With even the slightest understanding of obsidian, it immediately becomes clear why “Okuma" this is how the team named its new flagship.
The combination of matte and glossy black does not look chic, but very stylish! Strict and laconic appearance emphasizes the seriousness of the model.
Weight
The Okuma Obsidian reel weighs just 520g. Such indicators are more than good for a carp reel! Okuma has gone to great lengths to reduce the weight of the reel. The body and side panels are made of lightweight C-40X graphite material. The ultra-lightweight aluminum handle screws into the main pair, eliminating unnecessary play and increasing reliability.
Weight reduction significantly increases your fishing enjoyment. Working for two or three days at an athletic pace over a long distance is not an easy task.
Transmission
The ultra-slow winding transfer system creates an even and dense lay of the net. And the combination of a solid bow and DLC Even Flow coating does not twist or damage the line, so you can comfortably fish with any monofilament and fluorocarbon line.
The reel has a system that prevents the hoop from closing. It locks when opened, reducing the risk of it closing during the cast.
Quick reel brake
The Okuma obsidian reel has a quick friction brake that allows you to go from free-spinning in half a turn coils to a fully locked brake! The friction brake itself and the washers are made of carbon fiber, so this reduces the weight of the reel.
