OK reel, not buying anymore

A decent reel, but I think it is overpriced for what you get. I run them on my dipsy rods and the drag is able to hold even with big swells. Had one lock up after only two years of use. Will not be bu… Read More

I have the low profile series Okuma reels, 354 size. Love them. I recently purchased the same low profile series 354 in a line counter model which claimed 25lbs brake strength. I run dipsy units mainly and have two other brand reels that hold better brake pressure tho they are rated less. First disappointment with an Okuma product rods included.

Bought the reel because of the counter and flippin switch, love the positive drag system. CW 354 backed with 123 ft. 20 lb. Trilene Big Game topped with 150 yds. Power Pro 20 lb. braid hit the 100 ft. mark calibrating my reels thanks to the Berkley clip on line counter and measured 100 ft. to verify. Seems this info is Top-Secret . Will see how the reels perform this season give them a 4 for now.
