Okuma Cavalla CAV-5NS RH: Compact Muscle for the Modern Boat Angler

At Gerry’s Fishing, we consider the Okuma Cavalla to be one of the most impressive lever drag reels on the market today. The “5NS” (Narrow Spool) model is a precision-engineered powerhouse designed for anglers who want a lightweight, compact reel that can still go toe-to-toe with hard-fighting predators.

The build quality here is second to none. Unlike cheaper reels, the Cavalla is carved from 6061-T6 machined aluminium with a rigid, one-piece frame that eliminates any chance of frame-flex. Inside, you’ll find 17-4 grade stainless steel gears—some of the toughest in the industry—ensuring that this reel won’t just perform on day one, but for years to come. With its 6.4:1 high-speed retrieve, it’s the ultimate tool for modern lure and jigging techniques where speed is essential.

Key Performance Features

Narrow Spool Design: The “N” in 5NS stands for narrow. This makes the reel incredibly easy to manage, as you don’t have to use your thumb as much to level the line during the retrieve—perfect for high-speed jigging.
Carbonite Drag System: Featuring Cal’s Drag Grease, this system is famous for its smoothness. It provides a consistent, jerk-free drag even when under extreme pressure from a fast-running fish.
Silent Retrieve: The internal mechanics are designed for total silence and smoothness, giving you a high-end, “connected” feel when winding.
Corrosion Resistance (CRC): Every part of this reel is either stainless steel, anodized aluminium, or treated with a specialized coating to ensure it survives the most demanding saltwater environments.

Where to Use the Okuma Cavalla CAV-5NS

This narrow-spool specialist is the “ultimate weapon” for several scenarios:

Wreck Jigging for Pollack & Bass: The 6.4:1 gear ratio allows you to work lures through the water column at the high speeds required to trigger aggressive strikes from Pollack.
Light to Medium Boat Jigging: Its compact size makes it a joy to use all day long for vertical jigging on reefs. The narrow spool prevents the line from “bunching” on one side.
Inshore Sharking: Don’t let the size fool you. With 24lbs of drag and stainless steel gears, this reel has the backbone to handle hard-fighting Smoothhound, Tope, and Rays.
Kayak Fishing: Because it is so compact and virtually corrosion-proof, it is a favorite for kayak anglers who need high performance in a small, rugged package.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: The Cavalla features a Lever Drag rather than a star drag. This allows you to set your “Strike” drag perfectly and return to it every time with 100% accuracy. It’s a game-changer when you’re using braid and need to know exactly how much pressure you’re applying.
