Description: Okuma Titus Silver TS-50W Wide Lever Drag Reel

Charter captains spend most days on the water, fishing. Their livelihood depends on good, durable tackle that not only performs trouble free day after day, but that is smooth and responsive. Who better to work with in developing a new line of super strong big game reels? The Titus Silver series is constructed from one-piece aluminum body and side plate. They use machine cut stainless steel gears, sealed stainless steel bearings and a forged machined spool. Of course, a final caveat for our captains, price.

Features

One-piece aluminum body and side plates.
Five sealed stainless steel ball bearings.
Stainless steel gearing.
Forged machined aluminum spool.
Oversized composite and stainless steel, sealed drag washers.
Gear Ratio 3.1:1

Pros: line capacity, one piece aluminum frame, stainless gearing, large strong handle, lever drag
Cons: The need to maintain as they dont have a anodized finish

My Okuma Titus Silver 50 wides are my trolling work horses. 700 yards of 50 lb line capacity, large surface drag washer and stainless steel washer plate. Lever drag setup easy to control during the fight and another bonus is the harness lugs for when that extra leverage of a harness is needed.



Beefy foot plate with aluminum reel seat back brace, the reel frame is one piece machined and only the handle side plate is attachable to the reel frame, so no flex whatsoever. Love the Okuma billet handles, though can be slippery at times, but nice size easy to grip and always returns to the proper grip position due to it's balance point.

For the money,, it's hard to beat the Titus Silver 50 or 50W's.
