The Daiwa Opus Plus Reel is a tremendous reel for the cost. These large, extra-capacity reels can be used for surf, pier, jetty or boat use. Saltwater, big cats, sturgeon or paddlefish,are no match for this reel!. With the pre select drag tension you will be ready to turn the handle and have instant results. These Daiwa Opus Bite and Run reels allow the fish to take trolled/drifted bait while feeding little/no line resistance.
  • Smooth, multi disc drag
  • Twist buster line twist reduction
  • Precision Ball Bearing Drive
  • ABS Spool Design
  • Infinite Anti-Reverse (Double Stopper)
  • Automatic Bite N'Run Clutch

Absolutely terrible company for saltwater reels!
December 3, 2018
Had mine for a year and so did a friend (bought at the same time). Within the first month had a grinding in the ball bearings. I don't do any beach fishing at all so i assumed that i got salt inside of it and cleaned it to no avail. A week later my friend's reel started doing the same. Now both of these reels were thoroughly cleaned after each use. Luckily another friend of ours knew a Daiwa rep., and we got all of the internals replace for free. Upon receiving it the worked great.....for about a month again..... I went as far as to replace the "sealed" ball bearings inside with ceramic ones i bought online, which did help, but has not totally absolved the issue with their crappy bearings grinding and locking up.
