Okuma Cavalla CAV-5NII RH: The Compact 2-Speed Powerhouse

At Gerrys Fishing, we know that versatility is the key to successful boat angling. The Okuma Cavalla CAV-5NII is a masterclass in engineering, offering a best of both worlds solution for the serious right-handed angler. The N stands for its sleek narrow-spool profile, while the II denotes its incredible dual-speed gearing, allowing you to shift between high-speed lure recovery and raw winching power at the touch of a button.

Forged from 6061-T6 machined aluminium, the rigid one-piece frame ensures that the heavy-duty 17-4 grade stainless steel gears stay perfectly aligned, even when the reel is under maximum stress. Whether you are burning a lure for Pollack or grinding a heavy Ray off the seabed, the Cavalla provides a smooth, silent, and utterly reliable performance that is backed by an industry-leading 5-year warranty.

Technical Specifications

The CAV-5NII is a right-hand retrieve, 2-speed narrow spool model designed for ultimate technical performance:

Why the 2-Speed Narrow Spool is a Game Changer

• Dual-Gear Versatility: The 6.4:1 high gear is perfect for recovering line quickly in deep water or working lures. When a big fish dives, switch to the 3.8:1 low gear to gain massive mechanical advantage.

• Narrow Spool Precision: The narrow design naturally centers the line, meaning far less thumbing is required to keep the line level. This is a massive help when fishing thin, modern braids.

• Lever Drag Control: Unlike star drags, the lever system allows you to pre-set your maximum drag. You can instantly move the lever to a precise Strike setting during a fight with total confidence.

• Corrosion Resistance (CRC): Every component is treated to survive the salt. With the CRC coating and stainless steel internals, this reel is built for the long haul in the harshest marine environments.

Where to Use the Cavalla CAV-5NII RH

This narrow-spool 2-speed specialist is the Swiss Army Knife of modern boat fishing:

• High-Speed Wreck Jigging: The 6.4:1 ratio is ideal for working vertical jigs or soft plastics for Pollack, Coalfish, and Bass. The speed triggers the strike; the low gear wins the fight.

• Deep Water Reef Fishing: When fishing for heavy Rays or Huss, the 3.8:1 low gear makes winching heavy leads and stubborn fish off the bottom much easier on your arms.

• Inshore Sharking: Perfect for targeting hard-fighting Smoothhound and Tope. The bait clicker allows for run detection, while the 24lb drag provides plenty of stopping power.

• Light to Medium Boat Work: Its lightweight (460g) construction makes it a joy to hold all day, yet its stainless steel internals mean it can handle fish far above its weight class.

Gerrys Pro Tip: Shifting gears on the Cavalla is seamless. We recommend using the high gear for 90% of your fishing, but the moment a fish dogs you near the bottom or under the boat, pop it into low gear. Youll feel the torque immediatelyits like having a 44 low-range gearbox in the palm of your hand.
