Powerful and light
July 30, 2022
I use this reel for GT and other trevally in Hawaii. I’ve brought in a 52lb GT with the 6000 with no reel-related problem. I was able to crank down the drag when I was close to being reefed which really ended up saving the day.
Pros
  • Light, powerful, and compact.
Cons
  • I dislike the material on the handle. It picks up odor after handling a fish or bait. While I understand that the material makes it light, It would be great if Okuma would opt for a hollow-body light metal power handle design.

Bought the 8000 model few mnts back, was a little to heavy for surf fishing all day but awesome for jigging, finally saw that the 6000 was in stock and so happy i got it, perfect reel for the surf, super light and heavy drag cant wait to try it out on some Jersey strippers

This is a reel with a sturdy frame and super-strong drag that has performed admirably. Handled 30-40 school yellowfin tuna without breaking a sweat. The fish-stopping power of its double-stacked drag is simply unreal. Highly recommended.
Pros
  • Excellent drag

A lot of power due to the drag
Long line for surf or pier casting

  • Size
  • Just more than enough length

Cons
  • None!

A good looking entry level reel good for medium to light application. The drag is okay but it could be improved by using carbon fiber washers. Not sure about it's durability.
Pros
  • Waterproof drag with 31 lb drag power, aluminum frame and rotor. Good value for the money.
Cons
  • A bit heavy at 24.3 oz.

Okuma Cedros 55 spinning reel
November 8, 2012
Bought this reel last year (2011) and was told I wasted my money by friends. Well between last year and this year this reel has stood up to Stripers to 42 LBS and the brutal runs of Bluefish in the 15-18 LB class and not a single flaw! The drag is still smooth and the reel works like the day I bought it! Don't think I wasted my money!
Pros
  • Easy to cast, smooth drag.
Cons
  • The round knob handle takes a little getting use to. Not a problem though.
