Mar 11, 2023Okuma Releases Inspira ISX “A” Spinning Reels For 2024
ONTARIO, Calif.: Okuma, a prominent leader in the spinning reel market, has once again raised the bar with the introduction of their latest addition, the Inspira ISX "A" Spinning Reel. Delivering exceptional stability, smoothness, and power, the Inspira ISX utilizes cutting-edge spinning reel technology with promises to be a game-changer for anglers everywhere.
The Inspira ISX's body is constructed using Okuma's Torsion Control Armor (TCA) technology. Compared to traditional single side designs, TCA uses C-40X carbon fiber and a double arm design to offer higher torsion and flex resistance under heavy pressure. This in turn makes the Inspira ISX stronger, extremely rigid, and keeps your internals in perfect alignment. Inspira ISX "A" also boasts Okuma's Proprietary Flite Drive system that enhances gear stability and smoothness. The Inspira ISX's multi-disc Carbonite and stainless-steel drag washer system, along with 8BB+1RB stainless steel bearings ensures ultimate smoothness, while the Quick-Set anti-reverse roller bearing enables quick and easy hooksets.
"The Inspira ISX "A" is not just another spinning reel. It's a labor of love that we’ve poured our hearts and souls into." Said John Bretza, Director of Product Development. "From Flite Drive Technology to the machined aluminum screw-in handle design, we’ve paid attention to every detail to make this reel stand from the crowd."
Starting at 7.1 ounces, the Inspira ISX "A" puts out up to 24-lbs of maximum drag. The Inspira ISX's oversized HDGII main gear with a machine-cut brass pinion gear ensures supreme reliability. The reel also utilizes a machined aluminum screw-in handle design and lightweight, TPE handle knobs for maximum comfort while out on the water. The reel showcases an extra-light, machined aluminum, braided line-ready spool equipped with a rubber spool band to prevent line slippage. A heavy-duty, solid aluminum bail wire to ensure smooth line management and casting performance. The RESII: Computer balanced Rotor Equalizing System offers perfect balance for reduced rotor wobble and smoother operation.
There are four total high-speed models within the Inspira ISX "A" lineup of spinning reels. 2000 and 3000 size all feature 6.0:1 standard gear ratio, while the 4000 and 5000 models feature a 6.2:1 gear ratio. Inspira ISX spinning reels are backed by a 1-Year Limited Warranty.
The Inspira ISX "A" will be available at a retail price of $99.99 to $104.99. For more information, please visit www.okumafishingusa.com.
