Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels:
The AV-15a model is the perfect ulta-light fishing reel. Light weight, quiet and tough. The drag system has alot of muscle for a small reel.
Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels:
smoother than my Daiwas, this is a nice solid quality instrument. But I wish the additional spool (supplied with this reel) was the same quality as the primary metal spool rather than plastic... maybe Okuma could offer the option of adding additional metal spools with the initial order.
Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels:
The retrieve speed of a casting reel is vital and this is perfect with float lures 3' to 5' depth.
Maintenance could be simplified quite easily w/ break away clips. But all in all, it's a great reel.
Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels:
The A65A series is a great reel, so's the larger one. The lesser reels tend to not be as dependable but are good for begginners. I fish 6 days a week, own fishing resorts in Costa Rica and fish Colorado Rivers almost daily. These are care free reels, even if maintenance is ignored, to a degree. Beats all the newer reels I've worked in business and professionally. In fact I'm ordering more as I write. Randy Smith, Glenwood Springs, CO. P.O. Box 986, 81602 Feel free to call. 970-945-9723

Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels:
I surf cast along the mid California coast and this reel has worked great on my 10 foot Custom Striker grafite pole with both bait and jigs from 3 oz. up to 12 oz. that I have used. I have had no problems after trying it out over several weekends off the shore and with a lighter rod on two costal rivers. The extra plastic bail really came in handy when I went up a river from the beach and needed to change to a lighter test line. The reel is smooth and dependable and holds enough line to make those long casts out past the breakers with out having to go out to far. This is the first Okuma product I have purchased and will buy more considering the exelent quality.
Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels:
Im pleased with this reel. It has a smooth drag system and enough durability to survive many winter steelhead seasons. Larger models work great for salmon, as well as the smaller models for steelhead. This reel is not the best, but its what you should expect from a cheaper reel.

So far, this reel has performed well on steelhead up to 12 lbs. Looking forward to using it with lighter line/pole combo for trout
This fish was caught in pretty swift water.

Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels:
I have had 3 of these reel break off where they connect to the rod. Every time i had a fish on. The warrenty stinks. You pay shipping both ways and have to pay for money order. They told me they had some bad reels out. Then they should pay shipping. Then instead of a new reel you get a rebuilt one. No more okuma for me!
Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels:
I have had 4 of these reels break where they attatch to the rod.Okuma says they had some bad ones and will replace them. [...] I woula think if you put a bad product on the market you would replace it free of charge. I will not buy okuma any more. Will go with a reel that is built sturdier.

Good product for price. Easy to use.
Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels:
Bought this combo to fish the Salmon River in Pulaski NY. Haven't been able to use it yet, but by the look and feel of it, the rod seems to be well built. The reel feels solid and well built as well.
Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels:
Great reel, good price. Landed a 15 lb Coho with it on the Carbon River this weekend.
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.
Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels:
Very lite weight and easy to handle
Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels:

Used for jigging in Canada for Walleye, very smooth retrieve, seems to be sturdy, only time will tell. Bail works well.
Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels:
good combo for anything from salmon to large cats and rock fish
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
