OKUMA Baitcasters

Just wondering if anyone has used/heard of the Pro’s/Con’s on them. I figure if they’re anythine like the Spinning reels, then it would be worth a shot.

Later

I use their linecounter reels [higher end line] and really like them. They also have some real nice spinning reels too. Click on the Hooked On Fishing link in my signature and ask HOF [Mike Smith] for more info on them as he sells them. He ships merchandise too.

Thanks, Bill

I bought the Okuma nemisis 2 weeks ago. I have used it for a couple of hours no problems. The reel is very smooth. It stacks up to the Quantams that I have. I have 5 Okuma spinning reels and have never had any problems. In my humble opinion you can not beat the value of the Okuma reels. I was a huge Shimano fan for years, but they are getting expensive. Hope this insight helps.

Thanks guys

I own 3 okuma spinning reals, and will soon own atleast 1 or two okuma line counters, got all mine from Mike at Hooked on Fishing in Rochester, MN. Ive beated one okuma spinning real and it still hasnt failed me yet, the shimano is on the shelf right now being that it slipped on me and i lost the fish. Okuma is a GREAT buy
