Okuma Azores XP grinder

[MrFisha]

Hi All.

Has anyone been using the azores XP (4000) long term for spinning?

Thinking of getting one as a backup grinder.

Thanks

Hi..I pair the Azores Z40s on a custom 10.5ft rod..it's a solid little reel, smooth, fast retrieve and drag for days..Have to say though, it's a bit on the smallish side for shore spinning..I haven't yet felt the Z55s in my hands, but assume it may give you that extra assurance...The XP range will surely have some added advantages

Thanks Dennis.

looking for light-medium setup, with 15-20 braid for distance casting.

I have enjoyed the z55s for several years before upgrading to a shimano. Perhaps a little off topic, but assuming the xp is a similar build quality, you won't go wrong.
