Okuma’s baitfeeder system allows anglers to disengage their spinning reel spool and allow their bait to run freely. The baitfeeder system incorporates a secondary micro-adjustable drag system at the rear of the reel that allows for precise adjustment of the spoolfor bait control. In order to disengage this system simply turn the handle. The On/Off lever on the rear of the reel will automaticallydisengage the baitfeeder system so you can fight your fish with the main drag system.
