Helios SX Spinning Reels

Superior Strength of Okuma's C-40X Construction

Okuma Helios SX spinning reels combine advanced design and C-40X long-strand carbon fiber construction to deliver fantastic handling with exceptional strength for freshwater and inshore saltwater fisheries.

Helios SX spinning reels include three sizes: HSX-20, HSX-30 and HSX-40. Additionally, the 40 size is available with high-speed 5.8:1 gearing, the HSX-40S. Internal systems include eight stainless steel and corrosion-resistant high performance bearings and one roller bearing. The main gear is cut from aluminum for light weight and outstanding strength. The machine cut brass pinion gear keeps the Helios SX extremely smooth.

Helios SX spinning reels are backed by the Okuma 1-Year Limited Warranty.

Features:

  • 8HPB+1RB corrosion-resistant stainless steel bearings
  • Quick-set anti-reverse roller bearing
  • Precision machine cut brass pinion gear
  • ALG: Precision AlumiLite alloy main gear and oscillating gears
  • Light weight, EVA handle knob
  • Precision Elliptical Gearing System

Advanced features:

Lightweight C-40X Construction

The body, side plate and rotor of the Helios SX are constructed of Okuma C-40X long-strand carbon fiber. Where graphite reel construction utilizes powder suspended in resin, C-40X uses strands of carbon fiber that become interwoven thousands of times. The necessary quantity of resin is lower, and finished parts are both more precise and deliver superior strength. Parts constructed from C-40X carbon fiber are 25% lighter and 50% stronger than their graphite counterparts. C-40X construction is also completely corrosion-free.

TCA: Torsion Control Armor

At the back end of the reel and including the reel stem and foot is Okuma Torsion Control Armor. This unique design anchors the reel body within a wide yoke. Under stress, this wide footprint virtually eliminates flex and twist. Furthermore, it maintains a firm connection between the internal gears. Under load, the main gear of a spinning reel wants to push outward. By firmly stabilizing the body from the exterior, positive gear connection is maintained throughout the life of the reel.

CFR: Cyclonic Flow Rotor

On the Helios SX, the full rotor system is ported to an extreme level. Instead of guarding against water intrusion, the Cyclonic Flow Rotor focuses on evacuating water from the system and drying the reel out. The shape of the rotor envelopes the system in a circular airflow. By simply using the reel, water is driven from it and accumulated moisture dried. In rainy environments, the rotor system dries faster than a traditional design when both are put into dry storage after a wet day of fishing.

RESII: Rotor Equalizing System

The RES II System stands for Rotor Equalizing System. This second-generation RES System incorporates a computer-balanced weight precisely placed in the rotor. This weight allows for precision balance and eliminates all spool wobble for perfect alignments and smooth cranking.

Allows for a much faster drying time if the reel becomes wet, minimizing corrosion possibilities throughout the reel. The torsion control Armor design is made with Okuma C-40X long-strand carbon fiber technology. This not only makes the reel lighter, but also makes the reel extremely rigid which reduces twist and torque and keeps the internal parts in perfect alignment. Gear ratio 5. Weight. Drag. Helios SX spinning reel has 8 high performance bearings and 1 Rolling bearing with a cyclonic flow rotor. 0:1 with a 7. 2 oz.

I've been fishing Okuma for a long time ...
I own four of these reels, 3 HSX-30 & 1 HSX-40 because I've had nothing but a great experience with these reels.These are very light weight and they handle torsion amazingly! Another reason I love these reels is because of the "Elliptical Gearing System" that keeps the line very even on the spool. I find it helps with longer casts when your line is evenly spread on the spool. All four reels I've spooled with braided line & fluorocarbon leader and these reels handle it perfectly, no need for backing because the spool are braid ready.I've included a photo of a 5.2lb bass that was caught using a HSX-30 on a med-light rod using a Z-Man TRD Craw Ned Rig. Oh, drag on these reels is amazing also ... smooth and strong when needed. I've never experienced any "jerky" drag peel on any of my four Helios.Tight Lines ! IG @__dgh__

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well made, precise and sturdy
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2018
This reel is one of the smoothest reels that I've ever used. The action (over all reeling, drag and line flip) is extremely well balanced and smooth as silk! The only thing I don't like about it is that the reel bail is a slightly hard to flip after casting. However, I feel that it's because it's very new. The drag is the number # 1 most impressive thing about this reel. Next is the smoothness of how it spins and operates. I've had this reel for about a month already and have caught some huge fish with it. Check the photo! Last night's (9-9-2018) catch paired with an Okuma EVx rod. That's a 38" /12-3/4 lb Muskie that I landed with this rod n reel combo. Amazing!
