Okuma cv 30

[Eyezcrazy]

Ok.....it sounds like a heck of a lot of you guys like Okuma. Now that I have some opinions, I can say that I have been using accudepth plus 17lc and 27lc.......they are decent but I've had one stick on a regular basis. My others are Shakesphere Arsenal's and they stick more than the Diawa's. In all fairness I think the Diawa is sticking because it shot out of the holder and went on a little swimming adventure......I made a fast decision to dive in after it and saved everything.......but my cell phone and wallet. I think I'd have been better off letting it go!

I have never used any Okuma reels so I might have to give them a try. What are the drags like? Do they sing pretty on pullbacks? I'll be looking at the spec's for them....gear ratio of at least 5:1 I hope.

Here is a thread from awhile back.

just remember there is alot of difference between the okuma convectors and the magdnas. the convector is a great reel and the magdna is on the low end but if its all the budjet will allow they do work good for the price. the convector 20 is the biggest reel your going to need for walleye fisging with mono or braid. alot less weight to handle than the bigger reels.

Thanks Wakina for the additional links. I guess I should be posting in a different forum, I just wanted to reach some experienced fishermen. Thanks everyone for your input. I'm still waiting to hear from my favorite Skipper to see what he runs.

Sorry very busy this time of.year.. I run converter 30 s. it is not really the reel that is important it is that the reel is calibrated. make sure.that every rod is 100 foot on the counter at a 100 foot.

I did not mean to insinuate that you should be posting in a different forum, and I only provided the links to information that pertained to your question because they contained info and answers concerning your question.

I would not be concerned about where you post a question as this site for the most part is a fishing community unto its own. Besides there have only been a few times that anyone has crabbed about where you post and what the content is. With those few times being by members that post very little if at all and just like to crab when things are not as they would like them to be.
