If you haven’t checked out Okuma Fishing USA in a while, you might want to. They are not the Okuma of years ago. They are a modern innovative fishing rod and reel company that has many great price points and designs for you to choose from. This brings me to the Inspira ISX spinning reels–they won the 2024 IF Design Award.
I have personally been using the 4000XA for eight months on my fishing charters, and they have been performing flawlessly catching everything from redfish and snook all the way up to handling a 70-pound tarpon (not the recommended size reel lol) with its impressive 24 pounds of drag stopping power and strong aluminum body coming in at only 10 ounces.
This series of reels are packed with a lot of features that are found in reels costing 2 to 3 times their recommended MSRP of $114.99 – $120.74.
Diecast aluminum Torsion Control Armor (TCA) = 40% greater torsion and flex resistance.
Multi-disk Carbonite and stainless-steel drag washer system.
RESII: Computer balanced Rotor Equalizing System.
An oversized HDGII main gear for strength and 6-6.2 to1 ratio.
8BB+1RB Stainless steel bearings for ultimate smoothness.
Quick-Set anti-reverse roller bearing.
Machined aluminum screw in handle design to help keep the lightweight design.
Quick-Set Anti-Reverse for rock-solid hook sets.
Machined aluminum, braided line ready spool design.
