Okuma Titus Gold TG-15 Gold Lever Drag Reel

Okuma designed the Titus Gold for those anglers who are in search of the strongest, fastest fish in the ocean. Landing powerful fish such as tuna or speedsters like Wahoo takes special tackle. It was with such fish in mind, that Okuma developed the Titus Gold lever drags. The one-piece frames and side plates are machined from solid stock T-6061 aircraft-grade aluminum. Precision machining and alignment of the forged aluminum spool together with five, sealed stainless steel ball bearings offers fantastic free spool. When it comes to cast ability, these lever drags have few rivals.

The internal strength of the Titus Gold starts with the drive train of the stainless steel main gear and pinion gear. The oversized composite and stainless steel drag washer pairing allows for super smooth drags with smooth initial break-free engagement, yet tremendous high-end drag pressure. Other refinements include the patent pending silent anti-reverse system. The new retrieval system allows for near silent retrievals while offering the strength of the double "dog" anti-reverse, and the sturdy loud clicker alarm.

Pros:	Price!, Easy maintenance, robust construction, smooth drag, good line capacity
Cons:	doesnt hide scratches too well, but such is life for an offshore reel

Though it's a trolling reel, I really like this reel on a 7 ft fast taper Chaos king mackerel rod. I can turn anyone loose with this rod and reel combo for excellent light line bottom fishing.

On the troll, works great as well. This is a good value for what you get with the all solid stock aluminum gold anodized frame and stainless gears and guts. Half the price of Penn international and more robust than Shimano TLD's.

I've used these reels for 3 seasons and the only issue I've had is the loudness of the clicker on one reel (older model), from what I know, Okuma has adressed this and the clickers are louder now on the new ones.

Dont want to spend a fortune, but like the idea of a low corrosion gold anodized reel... this is one to put on the list!
