Brand: Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp.

Located in: Reels, Spinning Reels, Okuma

The Okuma Avenger A Series spinning reels offer a tremendous value in durable, super-smooth six ball-bearing front drag reels. Okuma has done it again by increasing the spool capacities for each size Avenger A while decreasing the overall weights, thanks to the totally redesigned spools and and thinner, stronger blade bodies. The patented Elliptical Oscillation System provides a smoothness normally found in reels priced much higher than the Avenger A Series.

Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels:

I was looking forward to using this reel, but was soon disappointed when I tried it out. The line dragged too much when casting and it was difficult to get any distance even with a heavier lure. It was difficult to reel and release the bail, and the line was constantly getting tangled and twisted. The reel was also too heavy for my liking. It was very frustrating fishing with it.

Great rod and reel combo!

Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels:

I have fished commercially for Yellowtail Snapper, Mangrove Snapper and Grouper for 12 years. My standard reel has always been the Penn 750. The newer models have not withstood the pressure of heavy use. The Okuma Avenger 65a and Okuma Epixor 65a have proved to be far superior in all aspects.

Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels:

I have used a lot of reals and this one works very well.I have one of the first with the small real spool. But with the new spool this should be a very useful device because of the ability to let the fish run a little more.I use this on a six foot rod and have cought some large trout and drum many times, I have been using the 6# test line, it works very well with this real
