I bought a 30k version of this reel because i am not really a huge fan of the feel of the stella and saltiga, never have been.
I got this to handle large tuna here in the north east. the drag system on this reel is incredible. it does take some learning to dial in correctly. i managed to blow up a rod by ramping it all the way up too fast.
line capacity in immense. its a bit big to cast, but i really got it to jig with anyway. i like the over all feel of it, i wish the knob was a different shape, when fighting a fish under a lot of drag pressure, it got uncomfortable after a while. a large EVA or T shaped knob would be much better

Best spinner in the world, built better than every other. Read Allan hawks review, he rated this the best in the world!

I have the 20000 and love it so I got the 30000. Both are very nice reels, the one special about them is the preset drag. No more guessing, used this for tunas and does the job smoothly w heavy drag in a quarter of turns from the knob. Sweet! Like any other makaira, built like a tank!

I was skeptical buying an Okuma but have been waiting for this reel since it arrived at a ICast almost 3 years ago. When TD finally got some in stock I had to jump on it. This reel is a beast, fully forged body and gears, yet clean smooth lines, interesting preset drag system, waterproof, yet still cheaper than a Torque, Saltiga, or Stella.

The only spin reels I own are Van Staals but we had a need for a large bluefin tuna spinning reel. This reel does not disappoint! It is one of the smoothest reel i have handled, especially considering the size. The fine adjustment on the drag works incredibly well with simple small turns.
