Okuma Cavalla CAV-5NIILX LH: The Ultimate 2-Speed Left-Hand Specialist

At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that left-handed boat anglers often have to settle for fewer features—but not with the Okuma Cavalla CAV-5NIILX. This is a premium, 2-speed lever drag masterpiece designed specifically for the southpaw angler. The “N” signifies a narrow spool, and the “II” denotes the dual gearing, making this perhaps the most versatile compact multiplier we’ve ever stocked.

The Cavalla is built like a tank using 6061-T6 machined aluminium. By housing the internals in a rigid 1-piece frame, Okuma ensures that the 17-4 grade stainless steel gears stay perfectly meshed, even when you’re exerting maximum pressure. With the push of a button, you can drop from a high-speed 6.4:1 retrieve to a high-torque 3.8:1 “winch” gear, giving you the upper hand in every phase of the fight.

Why Choose the 2-Speed Narrow Spool?

Instant Gear Shifting: Use the high 6.4:1 gear to recover line quickly or work a lure, then instantly shift to the 3.8:1 gear when a big fish dives, giving you the torque needed to “pump” them back up.
Narrow Spool Management: The narrow profile makes it much easier to guide line onto the spool with your thumb—a massive advantage when using thin braids or fishing in deep water.
Carbonite Lever Drag: Unlike star drags, the lever drag allows you to preset your drag tension. You can move from “Bait” to “Strike” to “Full” with total precision during the battle.
Silent & Smooth: The silent retrieve system eliminates the “clicking” of traditional multipliers, providing a high-end, smooth feel that lets you feel every knock and vibration from the fish.

Where to Use the Cavalla CAV-5NIILX LH

This left-hand powerhouse is the perfect companion for:

Wreck Fishing for Pollack & Bass: Use the high-speed gear to burn lures through the water column. When a double-figure Pollack hits and dives for the wreck, the 24lb drag and rigid frame ensure you win the battle.
Slow-Pitch & Speed Jigging: The narrow spool and 2-speed functionality make it a dream for modern jigging techniques, allowing you to adapt your retrieve speed to what the fish want.
Targeting Smoothhound & Tope: Perfect for hard-fighting inshore sharks. The bait clicker lets you fish a live or dead bait with the drag off, and the low gear helps winch big rays or sharks to the boat.
Norway & Arctic Trips: If you are heading North for “Cod and Coalfish” and want a compact reel that can handle the depth and the weight, the 2-speed system is a lifesaver.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: The “LX” in the model name is crucial—it confirms this is the Left-Hand version. For right-handed anglers who prefer to hold the rod with their dominant hand for better “feel” and jigging action, this left-hand wind setup is a game-changer.
