I have only been able to go fishing twice since purchasing this reel. I put it on my teenage daughter's rod the first time and then fixed the reel that was on her rod for the next time. After the second trip, I had to switch back to the Zebco. It cast very smoothly and far, plus she had no problem reeling the fish either. Great reel, I just bought another Zebco.

5 Donkayak941
I bought this reel, specifically, for an ultralight reel to fish small jigs and topwater plugs for panfish. Didn ’ t want to spend a fortune, as, I already have a dozen rods and reels and this is just for little local ponds here in Florida. For the money, it ’s a great little reel- great for panfish

5 DarthZilla
I bough this to replace an old Diawa I had of the same nature. The Diawa lasted me over 30 years so I am curious what this can do. I would n't expect to be able to pull anything big with this but that's not really what its made for. Hoping to use it more for small brooks and trout fishing. So far its work flawlessly on 4 trips

Sturdy construction and looks like it 'll last many years like my other more traditional Zebco 33 push button spincast. For$ 20 in that regard it's a good investment.

I 've owned quite a few Zeb co reels over the last 40 years and they are an affordable and consistent performer. I rarely lose a fish because of the reel. They 're easy to use and fun. And this is the best I 've ever used. It's nearly silent. The drag action is smooth as silk and the retrieve is just as good. Gone is the loud ratcheting sound when a fish puts on a fight. If you like that, then grab the Authentic 33. It will sound like you expect, but this is silent and buttery smooth. Zeb co makes much more expensive reels, loaded up with quality bearings. But unless you 're making a living on a boat, this should be plenty. I go fishing every weekend with my sons and I 've caught dozens of fish on this. Mostly pan fish, crappie and bass but I 've reeled in a few nice carp and catfish as well. The reel did well.

I bought the BG 4000 as a Black Gold combo with the Daiwa rod and it is an amazingly smooth reel to cast and retrieve. Fully equivalent to my Stradic FK. Highly recommend for bass or bigger.

By far one of my favorite saltwater reels. I own three of the BG series reels and I absolutely love them. Super smooth retrieves and very well built.

I have been using a BG4000 for surf fishing for 6 month and this reel perform as new. do n't waste your money on expensive reels.

5 Mike NPR FL
Used to have the last model of 10k Saragosa SW. Was too big to cast or hold all day, so sold it and recently bought the 6k Saragosa SW A. Love it. Smooth and light and casts well. That said the 6k has limited line capacity. Fishing for pelagic species off the kayak in SE Florida the 8k or 10k makes more sense so may buy one for next trip down. Hard to find at local stores so online seems like the only way to get one.

One of the best reels I have ever used. It's so smooth, powerful and sensitive. Its allot of handy features on it. No `` birdnest '' and it's really easy to cast with it and it's really far. Very nice reel, high price but worse it. Perfect combination with 11 feet Ugly Stick.

Just as nice as my stradics bought a 8ft terramar to go with it

5 Deepcc
I 've been salt water fishing for over thirty years and have snapped plenty of lines. With this reel combo 'd with an ugly stick and PowerPro Spectra Green Braided Fishing Line, I have not snapped a single line. That's from flukes to small sharks.

I 've always been a Shimano go to for years, and always will be, but was looking for a 2000 light reel for jigging and Shimano just does not have it in this price range with a larger high gear for more torque. I was using a 2500 Ultegra but it's just too heavy for long days of jigging. Tried to use a Stradic 1000 and it works but feels underpowered and with 6lb it's not ideal. Been using the Tatula 2000 model for inshore jigging with 6lb line and I ca n't fault it jigging for 5- 6 hours non stop being so light. The only gripe is the handle has a tiny bit of play but nothing a shim ca n't resolve. I changed the handle to a black Titanium Gomexus with ceramic bearings and now it's perfect. I am critical of my reels and I have many including the 22 Stradic and Stella as well as other lower model Diawa's. This is an extraordinary reel in how it feels. The shaft feels that it's spinning on air when turning the handle, something my other reels do n't feel like. It's really an amazing feeling. The reel never has failed once in operation and is very light. Line management is excellent but need to add a washer to get the line lay to not taper on the top from how it came originally.

The Shimano Stradic is a superior reel. I have the 1000, 2500, and the 4000. It's the best reel for the money.

Switched from the Penn Battle 3 to the stradic. This reel puts the Penn to shame. I will be updating my other set ups with the stradic also.

I couldnt be more pleased with this reel, Drag is great/strong, very smooth and has anti- reverse switch. Spool is exceptional for casting and line maintenance( no problems with line twist). Use in creek, lake and rivers in SW Pennsylvania for various species, with no issues. I dont see any negative aspects with this reel. Highly recommend!!!

I bought this reel almost two weeks ago To fish for stripers, catfish, and carp. The reel is built well and not made of cheap materials, the casting and retrieving are super smooth. You could use this reel with or without the bait feeder feature, but if ur bottom fishing this is a great feature to have and use. This is my first bait feeder I owned and I ’ m overall impressed, Okuma makes great products and I will be purchasing another of the same reel.

5 WxguyinFL
I bought this last month to replace a reel that froze up. I did curbside pickup at the Bradenton FL location. Very easy transaction. I caught some nice fish off the beach with it!

Got to use this immediately on a recent trip to the beach. Not to heavy and bulky like my other reels. Smooth retrieve. Only caught small fish so the bait feeder system disnt really come into play but boy is it a cool feature. Look forward to using it for fall striper fishing!

5 Fish hunt and shoot NJ
I now have 3 Okuma reels in this type. Without the baitrunner feature its great., But with it, its excellent. It's great for live bait fishing or as a downrigger Reel.

5 Catchermen
Have caught many fish, very versatile with lures and a definite plus for kids learning to use live bait. Just turn the handle and it goes to the 2nd drag after hook set.

Frequently Asked Questions For Left or Right Hand Retrieve Spinning Reels

The main difference between left and right hand retrieve spinning reels lies in the orientation of the handle. A left hand retrieve reel is designed for anglers who prefer to use their left hand to turn the handle, while a right hand retrieve reel is for those who use their right hand. This choice often depends on personal comfort and fishing style, as it can affect casting and reeling efficiency.

Choosing the right hand retrieve for your spinning reel depends on your dominant hand and personal preference. If you are right-handed, you may find it more comfortable to use a right hand retrieve reel, allowing your dominant hand to control the reel while your non-dominant hand manages the rod. Conversely, left-handed anglers may prefer a left hand retrieve for similar reasons.

Yes, the advantages of using a left or right hand retrieve spinning reel primarily relate to comfort and efficiency. Anglers often find that using a reel that matches their dominant hand allows for quicker and more fluid movements when casting and reeling in fish. This can enhance overall fishing performance and reduce fatigue during long fishing sessions.

Many spinning reels come with a feature that allows you to switch the retrieve from left to right or vice versa. This is typically done by adjusting the handle position or changing the internal mechanism. However, not all reels have this capability, so it's important to check the specifications of your reel before attempting to make the switch.

Left or right hand retrieve spinning reels are versatile and can be used for various types of fishing, including freshwater and saltwater fishing. They are ideal for techniques such as casting, jigging, and trolling. The choice of retrieve often depends on the angler's technique and personal comfort, making it important to select a reel that aligns with your preferred fishing style.
