presta24 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Grabbed one of these on Amazon for $126 shipped. Have seen mixed reviews on this reel on here, but great reviews on BP. Anyone have any feedback on this reel? Quote
zell_pop1 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 I have an Orra inshore reel, basically the same thing, I bought for my Florida vacation and it's an impressive reel, alot like my Citica Es. The 1st Gen Orra I believe are the ones that received shoddy reviews. Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted July 14, 2015 Super User Posted July 14, 2015 I do not know what was changed from original to mod 2. I bought the orig Orra SX baitcaster combo at Dicks about a year and a half ago for, I believe, $120. I have found that for the price, it was a good, if not great, purchase. Reel: Functionally, it is still pretty close to 10/10. Have had absolutely zero problems with it. Cosmetically, it shows its age; the paint on the plastic scratches and rubs off pretty quickly. But setting it up, dialing it in, and casting with it have been very good. Rod: It is a very good 7'MH rod. Sensitive and strong. I did have an issue with the second eye from the tip coming off. I called AG, thinking that their 2-year rod warranty would apply. Unfortunately, they have a 1-year warranty on combos (like reels.) They did offer me a discount on a Veritas 2.0 ($68 shipped) for my troubles. They didn't want the Orra back, so I reglued the eye myself and it is 'good as new'. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it.

BocaGrande Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 I have 2 orras. The orra 2 sx-L and the orra winch. Both so far so good. I don't beat the crap out of them, but they get used. Smooth, good casting, aluminum frame. I like Quote
