The Okuma Avenger ABF New Generation Spinning Reels allow anglers to disengage their spinning reel spool and allow their bait to run freely. The baitfeeding system incorporates a secondary micro-adjustable drag system at the rear of the reel that allows for precise adjustment of the spool for bait control. In order to disengage this system simply turn the handle. The On/Off lever on the rear of the reel will automatically disengage the baitfeeding system so you can fight your fish with the main drag system.

Love the 500 size. It’s great for panfish, perch and crappie. I use 2lb test and love it, it super light and with the live liner setup it’s very versatile
Pros
  • Everything, versatility
Cons
  • None.

Disapointing

I loved this reel initially, as in the first hour. The drag then malfunctioned leaving me unable to retrieve. Eventually, after tightening al the way I was able to get my rig back from the surf.
Pros
  • Felt super smooth and powerful at first.
Cons
  • I don't know if I just got a bad reel or what but the drag malfunctioning on the first use is leaving me suspect about this reel. I will be replacing with a different reel.

Best reel I've ever owned.
June 11, 2020
I bought this reel because of automatic bait feeder.. I'm an spinner reel kinda person so when I found out okuma had a reel with basically a bait alarm built-in I knew I had to get it.. I am catfisherman .. since buying this reel my hook up has became 95 percent.. with this reel you set back wait soon as the rod bends and reel screams ( no more fear of loosing your fishing rod with this reel with the bait feeder the reel becomes free spinning allowing the fish to take the bait and run with it) you just start reeeling or flip the switch engage the main drag now the fight is on... It's a smooth reel making the fights enjoyable yet no problem handling the fish....
Pros
  • Smooth casting
  • Smooth reeling
  • Handles fish of all sizes with ease
  • The bait alert is best thing ever

Warranty for this product?
1 Answer
Below is a link to what I was able to find online from Okuma. It appears that depending on the model, the warranty is good for 1-5 years. Your best option would be to contact Okuma directly.
