The Okuma Cortez Star Drag reel – CZ-10CSa is equipped with Okuma's advanced “Carbonite” drag system. This drag system utilizes a newly-developed carbon-based material that effectively dissipates heat and friction, ensuring consistent and smooth drag performance even in harsh fishing conditions. By combining this drag material with a small amount of specially-formulated Okuma drag grease, the Carbonite drag system offers an extended range of drag settings and exceptional fish-stopping power.

The Okuma Cortez reel is designed to provide a thrilling fishing experience for anglers who prefer light tackle. It features a drop-down gearbox, a swept-in handle, and an Ergo Grip handle knob, all of which contribute to improved balance and power transfer from the XL gearing. The reel also boasts a red anodized machined aluminum spool and a multi-disc Carbonite drag system that further enhance its performance.

The reel also incorporates features like a corrosion-resistant graphite frame and side plates, a machined aluminum red anodized star, and a dual anti-reverse system (mechanical and roller bearing). Additionally, it has 4BB+1RB stainless steel bearings and an external magnetic cast control system.
