Thread: Salt water reel

Trolling & casting are 2 different applications really you need specific reels for each .
Stella for the casting but maybe a Mitchell ripe tide or similar for trolling.

Had an Okuma ABF80 lasted 12 months.Couple of eagle rays ,1 kingi few snapper then thrown on the rubbish bin.
The bait feeder jams ,the front drag didn't function properly & the 5 year warranty wasn't worth the paper it was written on.
I had to pay for repairs for faulty parts & freight costs. Quite frankly it was a piece of shit I paid $165 for.
To add I now have a ABF90 as a back up reel but seems to be built a lot better than the 80 model.
