Kititas Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Anyone used this reel? Is it worth buying or waste of money? Quote
Arv Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I haven't used it but I've only ever heard good things about it. It looks pretty sweet too. Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted January 25, 2013 Super User Posted January 25, 2013 I have an okuma komodo I picked up last year for $145 new. I have it paired with a 7'2 mh cumara and it is a great looking setup. - a very lightweight reel for the price at 6.7 oz - the reel is tricked out with a cf handle and red accents - the reel has abec5 bearings - very easy to palm and a joy to fish - very fast gear ratio 7:3.1 - odd breaking system access Those are the main points that jump out about this reel. The break system is a bit of a hassle to get to IMO. If it wasn't so odd I would have bought another. However when you get it dialed in the reel is a great caster and smooth and fast on the retrieve. Overall it is a very feature packed reel for what you pay. I mostly fished 1/4- 1/2 oz jigs with it and thought it really launched them out there. The drag was smooth and the reel gave me no trouble in its first year of use. What other reels are you considering? Quote
