Okuma Cavalla 2-Speed Lever Drag Reels

The Okuma Cavalla is a compact, heavy-duty conventional reel built for anglers who want serious strength, smooth drag performance, and a comfortable low-profile feel for offshore fishing.

Its rigid 6061-T6 machined aluminum frame and side plates provide a solid platform under load, while the cold-forged, Type-II anodized aluminum spool adds durability without unnecessary bulk. Stainless steel gearing, corrosion-resistant components, and a Carbonite drag system with Cal’s drag grease help the Cavalla stand up to demanding saltwater use.
