great alternative to the stella and saltiga
August 15, 2022
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
Pros
  • tank of a reel
Cons
  • take your time to learn how to set the drag properly

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

Best spinning for saltwater giants!

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!
Pros
  • Preset drag knob. Genius!
Cons
  • Need a different handle for left & right.

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.
Pros
  • Build Quality
  • Forged gears and body
  • Van Staal level sealing
  • Unique
  • Strength
  • Drag
  • Line Capacity
Cons
  • Heavy
  • Drag System can take getting used too

Wow oh wow!

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.
Pros
  • well built, sealed
