Okuma Trio Rex Arena Surf Long Cast Spinning Reel

The reel is great but it won't hold the amount of line promised in the specs. Based on the spec I should have been able to put 500 yards of 30lb Power pro but the reel was filled up to the edges of the spool (over filled actually) and I still had 125 yards left on the Power Pro spool.

Do not buy this product. I have waited 9 months to post this review. This reel looks great but is unreliable. I returned the product for repair after using it about 4 times. I was sent a new reel but didnt use it for a while because I purchased a Penn Battle II while my reel was being repaired. Last week I decided to start using the new reel for the first time. It broke down while I was surf fishing. I thought Okuma was a good reel company but this reel is terrible.

I live on the beach and use this reel regularly. I've had it for about 6 months now and can't say a bad thing about it, especially for the price. I took home a big mutton snapper today on this reel after it sang to me a few times on some great power runs! Very happy with my purchase.Edit: The cover for the spring on the bail arm went missing a week ago. It's not screwed on, so I don't know how they expected it to stay on being a surf reel. I'm on a remote island, so I used the reel anyway. Today the spring and assembly blew apart. Now the reel is useless.I opened a support ticked with Okuma on their web site a week ago about the missing cover. I have yet to hear back.
