Harrybass Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 Anyone know much about orra reels? Are they nice? Quote
Mike2841 Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 I've never used the casting reels, but the orra s spinning is a great reel. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 The Orra's a decent sub$100 reel. Quote
craww Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 No clue about the BC's but the spinning reels are very good for the price. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted November 14, 2013 Super User Posted November 14, 2013 I own 3 OrraS Reels. Two 30 size and one 20 size. I love them. For the price you can't beat it. I use one on a MH and have caught numerous good Pike on it. Drag holds up very well. The other is on a drop shot rod and my last one is on a M rod which I use for all other finesse stuff (namely my mojo rig). You cannot go wrong with them IMO. Quote
EvanT123 Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 I had 2 of the baitcaster and they were nice reels. The new ones are mag brake while the previous model was centrifugal so pick your poision there. I found mine as close to brand new as you can get on the auction site for about half price. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted November 14, 2013 Super User Posted November 14, 2013 I forgot to mention that I have 2 of the older Orra SX reels which I bought at the Grand Opening of the BassPro nearby. I tried them twice and so far they seem good too. They are a definite upgrade from my Silver Max's. Could tell in just a handful of casts. Quote
SMITTY0045 Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 I got one of these reels at the end of the summer form Bass Pro and I would definitely recommend it. It is pretty light weight, cast a mile, and is extremely smooth Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted November 25, 2013 Super User Posted November 25, 2013 I have an Orra spinning reel and a baitcast, I am not proficient with the baitcast so I don't use it. I love my spinning reel though it's smooth and can handle the big girls Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted November 26, 2013 Super User Posted November 26, 2013 I don't have an Orra but I have 5 Abu sorons in various sizes, been excellent performers, I've had them a number of years. IMO a reel cannot be evaluated until it's been heavily used over a lengthy period of time in all weather conditions. 1 Quote
BassnChris Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 BassPro has them on sale today for cyber monday......just saying.....good time to save $30 if you are gonna buy it anyway. Quote
21farms Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 BassPro has them on sale today for cyber monday......just saying.....good time to save $30 if you are gonna buy it anyway. just be careful here to make sure you know what you're getting. the one that BPS has as a cyber monday deal is the first-generation orra SX, not the newer, lighter second-gen model. personally, i'd just as soon spend the extra $10 and get the pro qualifier which is now on sale for $79.99.

I agree. The pro qualifier is all I use. Quote
