Casts, feels, and looks amazing, performance is incredible! Far greater than a Trinidad! Better drag, gears and construction. The anodizing is very solid and won't get scratched easy allowing corrosion.
Casts irons 100+yrds, feels amazing on retrieve.

The Trinidad is really nice. The Tesoro is much more rigid, powerful, and has more quality components. 6061 T6 aluminum Anodized frame, spool, sideplate. Tsi lubed bearings allowing insane freespool. There booth really nice the Tesoro is just Priced way better than the Trini and it is worth every penny.
Pros
- Lightweight, rigid, high quality design. Incredible freespool, and incredible durability.
Cons
- I can't think of any.

Been transitioning back to star drags after a love affair with lever drags. Put 2 hard seasons on these as well as competitors from brand D and A. Northern California fair so- sturgeon, salmon, albacore and anything else. These reels are bullet proof. Where I feel these beat the competition is the size of the drive gear, even with the high speed these straight grind
Pros
- Rubber ball is superior to aluminum in cold weather. Freespool for days

High end reel at a great price

Recently took this reel out on whole day trip and it performed flawlessly. I spooled my Tesoro 12S with 300 yards of 50lbs power pro braid and top it off with 100 yards of Izorline XXX Super Co-Polymer and then attached a 8 foot leader of fluorocarbon. The free spool is incredibly fast and smooth allowing me to cast out father and get my jig out faster. I used this reel for bottom fishing and casting irons and jigs. Line retrieval is awesome and fast. Drag was more that enough to help me land 3 large Bonitas. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a top quality star drag reel.
Pros
- Construction and materials used are top notch.
- Amazing fast and smooth free spool.
- Line retrieval is fast and really picks up tons of line.
- Drag was powerful and very adjustable.
Cons
- none.

Is Tesoro 5S a live-bait or jigging reel? Rod suggestions?
1 Answer
Mehmet,
The Okuma Tesoro star drag reel TSR-5S can be used for a variety of fishing applications - jigging, bottom fishing, live bait, and casting lures. As far as a rod to pair with it, it would depend on the application you are primarily using it for. The Tsunami Carbon Shield II boat rod TSCSHDBCII701MH-B will pair nicely for most applications. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
