Okuma Fishing Tackle XP302La Classic Pro XP Level Wind Graphite Trolling Reel

Great entry level reel for stripers and large catfish. Drag works well, and they seem to be holding up nicely. I own 8 and haven't had any problems. Caught a lot of cats in the 40-60 pound range and they have the muscle to get them up. I prefer the made in Sweden Abu's for my personal reels, but these are a good compromise if you are letting other people use your equipment.

Muy buen producto llego en tiempo y aún no lo he probado espero tener buenas capturas aunque llego vilolada el sello de garantía y no traía el soporte para caña como otro que compre

I bought one of these reels back in Sept 2017. I did not have a lot of experience with this style reel, having grown up using a classic Zebco 202 Spincast reel an then graduating up to Okuma brand spinning reels for Surf Fishing in Emerald Isle NC, with a long break in-between. This is my 6th year Surf Fishing and this year I decided to use my Okuma Bait Caster and see what happens, after a couple of years messing around with experimenting with Mono Line, and then Braided line, which we all switched over to 3 years ago. For some reason this reel works better with Mono line, and I used 25lb Trilene and had zero tangles/wind-knots/birds-nests and breakage during two weeks of heavy fishing. Last day fishing I pulled in some medium sized Pompano and the above pictured 21 inch long Black Drum which this reel had no issues bringing in. I paired the reel with a 10 foot long Cabela's brand two piece Eagle Series bait casting rod, which handled fishing duties with zero issues, to include the occasional Ray which tend to put up a heck of a fight. I will be ordering more of these reels after my most recent trip and the excellent performance it provided. For the record, it will hold a heck of a lot of 25lb mono line. When I did use braided line , i used 30lb line.

Fast shipping, great cost and a quality product.

Works just fine.Good buy for the money.
