What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Loved this reel. Was able to put 300 yrds of 25 # mono line onto it. The 8000 reel isnt lightweight, but no reel this big and well made would be.
Okuma is a world class brand and this unit is snazzy for the price. Action is very smooth and solidly built. Its a champ for the money.
The reel is easy to adjust and the baitrunner has a separate drag. The baitfeeder feels very nice as well. Perfect for live bait on a stop for tuna.
