Who likes okuma reels ?????????????????????????????.
Fish. :blink:

Think I've got 3 or 4 of them smaller egg beaters

A pair of bait runners & 2 thread lines

Like there drags which is important to me as I fish light lines 3 kg max but dont like the corrosion they show around the bail arms both my baitrunners have it & I sent them back awaiting replacement.

In the meantime I purchased a Browning Baitrunner to use very smooth drag also

i have one an avenger av15 like jumpus said lovely drag but very bad bearings i will have to junk it :(

I got the TR-30 with fishing world subscription a few months back, have it on light rod with 6lb fireline and use it for flicking plastics. No problems as yet

Depends...there is a huge gap in quality with their top range reels and anything less. Reels like the Titus Golds and V-Systems are their "flagship" reels and will perform well. Those reels are their pride and joy. However lesser reels will falter. I have a Hydro 60 (cheapo reel at $120), and it's fine so far but yet to REALLY test it. They do have good value though, the V-Systems are only $220 and I have to say they feel like a $400 reel. Only problem is that they don't have a fliud retrieve like you would find with a similar priced Daiwa or Shimano. If you want a baitrunner, go the Shimano big baitrunners. They are tough as nails!

Lesson is, when buying an Okuma, better to go with the high end reels.

hey Poly I have been getting subscriptions for modern and fishing world mags for years. now my wife subscribs for mags for me as part of xmas presy, fishing world had a deal for the past 4 years subscrib and get a free okuma reel I get one every year, they all bar one {bearings} have been prety good up till present .
and if one stuffs up i get a new one come crysy time . usualy the offer is at the back end of year.
just browse through fishing world and see if its there.
get a mag and free reel.
cheers steve

Agreed Steve P.. Mine works fine flicking for bream etc.. I didnt realise they did it evey year though...

Looks like ill be renewing..

the av15 has had the main head bearing replaced about 3months ago, on the second outing it failed again so i will not bother to take it back, and just take the loss, i will say this in there defence all work was done free of charge

hay rum well i'v been getting them like i said usualy end of year time, from my last mag I gave it to my mate and he got one with the new subscription , get a new reel free with subscription they have lasted me
Only prob. I have to make up new rods to hold them.

You're not supposed to use plastic bearings in reels else they'll cease up

Seriously though a little trick with ceased bearings if you want to get the same one rolling again.

Get a old metal container whack some grease in there tie the bearing to a bit of wire & drop it into the grease now the next bit can get a bit smelly but you need to boil the grease.

I use one of those primus torch's & do it out in the garage, B4 grease solidify's pull out bearing via the wire you've tied to it & e very Carefull as bearing will be very hot

Work the bearing till it starts rolling again you'll see dirt /crap/rust coming out of it

Then repeat process a few times till bearing is running smooth & then one more quick dip into the liquid gease as this will put a good coating on the bearing




I'd have to say The Penguin cause he's a shifty little bugger & he's the master of The Miyagi Sun Techique

Read the Q very carefully...nobody's even come close :wacko:

i did read it i think, it been a long day.
the onley reason i can think of is the fact that u own an okuma

Geez you guy's are bloody slow



fish wants you guy's to SUCK UP to him

Tell him You Da Man fish

thanks for the tip J.G. but the head bearing has a plastic caseing hows that for cheap crap

No 2 da master.

Due to lack of interest the COMP will be extended till tomorrow night :wacko:
