General Specifications

About the Product

Okuma Azores spinning reels are the result of a multi-year engineering review that achieves new levels of strength and stability. Azores begin with proven power features including die-cast aluminum body, side plate and rotor, machine cut pinion gear and the Okuma Dual Force Drag system that churns out up to 44-pounds of max drag. But within the interior is where Azores gains massive separation from competitors.

The PENN Battle II offers attractive cosmetics, durable design, and silky smooth HT-100 drag as just a few of the many reasons why so many anglers fish this reel. The Full Metal Body construction allows it to maintain precision gear alignment under severe punishment. With the Superline Spool™, no backing is needed because of the rubber gasket that keeps superlines from slipping. A great value for the price point.

What customers say about "Key Specs"

Okuma Azores (Z-65S) Saltwater Spinning Reel

Congradulations to Okuma for a great spinning reel with lots of drag to slam the brakes on big fish when needed.
Very good spinning reel for the buck.
I put 300 yds of 65# suffix braid on the reel and just fished a short topshot. For the price this is a great setup for these size fish.
Great drag and really powerful.
This is a great reel, been using it for a while now and it has done a good job with kings, sharks and anything else I have caught.

Penn Battle II 4000 (1338219) Spinning Fishing Reel

The 4000 series is good for a medium size fish and you can pair it with a medium action rod
Great size and appears well made, very smooth action.
Best size for casting lures for my use love the drag looks and build quality will definitely buy again I have 3 of them.
Excellent reel. Perfect size, very well balanced, great retrieve speed, very well made, solidly built.
I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable but it was a little heavier than other similarly sized reels.

What customers say about "Features"

Okuma Azores (Z-65S) Saltwater Spinning Reel

Great reel! Really smooth with a ton of drag . Plenty of stopping power for big snapper and Jacks.
Very good spinning reel for the buck.
Great reel for the price. Has held up well for me.
Very impressed with the quality of this reel. Durable ,good price.
The only small drawback is that it feels a little stiff reeling in, but that has been getting better every use.

Penn Battle II 4000 (1338219) Spinning Fishing Reel

It is pretty much perfect, right down to the handle because I have a crippled hand that can still handle the angle and size of the handle!
This is a great reel. I love the looks, durability, line capacity, braid ready spool, and drag.
The handle is very well designed and feels really nice.
Large spool. Cast great. Very smooth
My biggest problem is that the line doesn't go on the spool evenly.
