Great Saltwater Reel

Bought another one a month ago. This is my "go to" reel for surf fishing. Good price point and it holds up really well. The bait-liner feature is very important when you have multiple rods in use. I highly recommend it.

Great Reel

Purchased an Okuma brand reel for the first time. Love it, smooth retrieve, works great!

Cheap Made

I bought this reel less than a month ago and after only catching a few smaller fish with it, the bait runner gears completely fell apart. Seems cheaply made. Would not recommend.

Great Reel

Great reel for bait fishing. Strong drag. Very smooth

Size Ratings Are Incorrect

The size ratings for this reel are incorrect the 8000 size is more like a 6000 size reel. I will be returning this.

Solid Reel

I have a few different sizes. Love them both. Just got the 8000. I have had the 5000 and it performs great. Love the bait runner feature. Caught more stripers than I can remember last year.

Worth The Money

This is my second one. I like the first one so much I bought another one for my second rod

Great Reel For Bait Or Lures

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.

Poor Quality

I bought this two months ago and took it out fishing four times the last time on a fishing charter and the rear drag lock started slipping making it impossible to reel with out the rear drag disengaging the spool rod. 2 days past the return period. Waste of money.

Very Disappointed Lost Plenty Of Fish

I purchased this the day before my fishing trip. I normally use another brand but Dicks was out of that item. I lost plenty of fish due to this reel not being capable of reeling in 10-15lb fish. The only time i was able to reel in any line was when the fish would tire and i had slack in the line. other than that it would not spool in tension and drag set. i was very very upset. In the past i had used smaller 2-3k class Okuma and had very good results. Very disappointed in this reel. Okuma needs to step up for salt water reels and reels in general.
