Description

With the addition of the Makaira Thrust bearing, the re-designed Alijos 2-Speed Lever Drag reels now reduce side load at heavy drag settings, remaining lightweight, compact-bodied, big fish-stopping machines. Built with 6061-T6 machined aluminum for the ultimate in strength. The 1-piece frame continues around to the non-handle side, the side plate which has a cast control system for precision spool control. The spool bearings are bathed in TSI oil giving it the ultimate in castability and frees spool. The Alijos reels feature a longer 90mm handle harm and oversized T-bar handle knob for great torque and comfort. The clicker mechanism has been reworked to give a louder clicking sound for trolling or dead stick applications. The new 2-speed shifting mechanism has been completely reworked by Okuma giving it the ultimate in shifting. The DFD: Dual Force Drag puts out tremendous drag pressure with its 100% larger drag plates. The SSE Version are the Alijos Sailfish/Kingfish Reels. They are a single speed, high speed reel that feature 6.4:1 gear ratio and are meant to fish a consistent light drag. With a 5.7lb at strike and 10lb max drag, they are designed for that specific fishery. # MODEL BEARINGS BRAID LINE CAPACITY GEAR RATIO LINE CAPACITY LINE RETRIEVE MAX DRAG PRESSURE WEIGHT OZ RETRIEVE AJ-5NII 6 BB + 1TB 425/40, 350/50 6.4:1 & 3.8:1 420/12, 300/15, 250/20 42.1" / 24.8" 24-LBS / 15-LBS 19.4 RIGHT AJ-5II 6 BB + 1TB 475/50, 310/65 6.4:1 & 3.8:1 620/12, 430/15, 340/20 42.1" / 24.8" 24-LBS / 15-LBS 19.8 RIGHT AJ-12II 6 BB + 1TB 460/65, 400/80 4.7:1 & 2.1:1 560/20, 420/25, 320/30 35.4" / 15.7" 34-LBS / 27-LBS 28.6 RIGHT AJ-16II 6 BB + 1TB 870/ 65, 750/80 4.3:1 & 1.3:1 870/20, 650/25, 500/30 39.4" / 11.8" 48-LBS / 34-LBS 36.3 RIGHT AJ-12SII 6 BB + 1TB 460/65, 400/80 6.4:1 & 2.1:1 560/20, 420/25, 320/30 48.4" / 15.7" 34-LBS / 27-LBS 28.9 RIGHT AJ-12NSII 6 BB + 1TB 525/50, 345/65 6.4:1 & 2.1:1 350/20, 250/25, 200/30 48.4" / 15.7" 34-LBS / 27-LBS 27.5 RIGHT AJ-12S SE 6BB + 1RB 460/65, 400/80, 340/100 6.4:1 560/20, 420/25, 320/30 48.4" 10-LBS 25.4 RIGHT AJ-16S SE 6BB + 1RB 800/80, 600/100 6.4:1 870/20, 650/25, 500/30 58.5" 10-LBS 31.4 RIGHT
