OKUMAAvenger Graphite Body 7 Ball Bearing Freshwater Spinning Reel

Got this on sale and glad I hit the order button. I ordered the AV-3000 version.Delivery was fast, got it on an overnight deal. Out of the box it was smooth. I held it up and spun the handle, let the handle go and it kept spinning and spinning- very silent and smooth.I loaded it with braid and did not have to add electric tape or anything to the spool. The spool itself has a texture on it and the braid did not slip at all. I just wrapped the line around the reel two times and tied a uni knot, sinched it and loaded it up, no slipping at all. I am using Runcl Merced 12lb braid (4strand) with a fluro leader in the same weight.Loaded the reel, put it on a rod and tied a light weight spinning lure to it to give it a test cast.Thing cast a mile- super smooth casting and super smooth reeling. One thing that did stand out is the sound of the drag. The drag system just sounds nice.The handle is very comfortable and in fact the whole reel just felt like a high quality reel. I have some expensive reels and this one does not disappoint.It is a very nice looking reel, the color is, well, makes it look very high dollar. In fact I have seen some very expensive reels look super cheap with weird colors or horrible finishes, this one is very well made and the finish is perfect. The action is extremly smooth and the casting is amazing (again using 12lb braid) and is on par with my more expensive reels.Super happy with this reel, and if you get this with one of the Amazon coupons you certainly can't beat the price! Cheap reels feel and act cheap, this one was inexpensive but looks and acts like a Rolls Royce.Highly recommend!

Perfect no nonsense reel made by Okuma. Plenty of drag for anything in the surf. This thing casts extremely well and feels solid. We did have an issue with the handle becoming loose on us just once but that could’ve been my own fault during assembly. It does have some flex at the base like most reels under $100. But this reel is nice and smooth and powerful for the money. My wife and I love it so much that I’m considering tossing my Daiwa Bg for the Okuma 8k

It's my second Okuma and I love these fishing reels. Very smooth and precise. Excellent quality.

I got two of these on sale for roughly $22 each.They’re certainly worth that.Reasonably smooth. Could be better. I haven’t tried the 500s but my Kastking Valiant Eagle Gold 3000 at around roughly the same MSRP is significantly better, so… look elsewhere if they aren’t on sale.Good enough line capacity for the lite weights you’ll be casting. I could probably get more if I lowered the weight from the recommended braid. The information gave the capacity for 15 lb braid, so that’s what I used. I’m sure if you’re just using 2lb fluorocarbon or a 6lb braid with 2lb leader, you might get a bit farther.My biggest gripe is the cumbersome switch of the bail if you just want to start reeling pretty instantly. It requires a bit of effort to switch by reeling. Some of you this won’t be a issue for whether because of the bait you’re using or just you being used to flipping the bail.

Great product, works as expected!

I got the 500A it's small and mighty.For the price it's perfect. I'm running 4lb test and have it on a okuma rod it's the perfect bang for your buck combo.. you can feel the quality right out of the box. I actually have 2.

With 50lb braid will drag in big catfish!!!

This reel is amazing. So Smooth. I ordered other okuma reels for my other fishing poles.

Lo he usado varias veces y sin ningún problema. Buen funcionamiento. Buen ajuste del drag.

The media could not be loaded. Menor tamaño, menor peso, para caña light. Si es lo que buscas, esto es lo que necesitas, a un precio excelente

I used this reel a handful of times.It spins really good and smooth.Mine was the 5000 series I believe.Bad news is that I lost my drag tension cap.Is there a replacment part for this product I can get to fix my problem?

MUY BUENO

Smooth operation. Can't be beat at that price.
