I see the Okuma spinning rods have filtered through to the retailers. Anyone have much experience with the makaira range of spinning reels or know when they will be become available?

They are awesome reels but the only really usable reel for shore angling is the 20k. The 30k is a monster and although it is a casting reel it is made for ultra heavy line and popping etc

It will have it's place as a Popping Rod, Ultra Heavy Jigging reel.

I did a review on the reel and we have been fishing on an off with the 20K since August 2016. The reel has caught close to a ton of fish, has been fished on Mazeppa Tours, LEagues in East London, on the Gus in Jeffreys and is now on boats on the KZN coast.

Unserviced till now, wading fishing and hard worked till now and it's as smooth as the day we first got it.

My biggest fish on the 20k is a 164kg Grey at Mazeppa and the Biggest on the 30k is a 216kg Pylie

Reels should be in shortly.

I found it as good as and better than the reviews on Fishing stores and Youtube
