OKUMA FISHING TACKLE ABF55b Avenger ABF B Series Baitfeeder Reels, Multicolor, One Size

I have purchased this reel for my 9ft, medium-heavy fishing rod I use for carp, salmon, catfish, etc. which are anywhere between 15 to 25lbs and put up a good fight. The reel is nice, smooth and strong. It is, however, a little bigger than I needed. I wish I had selected a reel about one or two sizes smaller. It is hard to appreciate the size just by looking at pictures, and so I checked the line size/yrds info on the reel, commentaries, etc. and yet it was not good enough. The best way to do it, is to go to stores, find what you need and then get it from Amazon if the price is better. And this 'technique' applies for lots of items...but this time I was lazy, I guess...!

This real is awesome for the money and features. I grew up fishing almost daily on Lake Ontario but I have not done to much fishing for the past 10 years due to a hog hunting addiction. So this year I decided to start fishing again and got the A series and B series reels in the 50/55 paired with some medium heavy ugly stik rods. WOW. These bait feeders are awesome. I don't think I could spend money on another spinning reel without it. I just bought my dad the B series for fathers day. Here is what I like about it. Flip the switch and catch more fish. -I can grab a beverage of choice from the cooler without worrying about the rod and reel. -I don't have to crank the drag tight as the fish runs with my bait. -It makes noise (the A series is louder) as the fish runs and gives me extra time to grab the rod. -I can run more rods due to having more time to get to a rod -I can drift fish up to trolling speeds with the bait feeder drag being adjustable. -I do not have to hold one rod to get the fish while it bites (letting me put more rods out) The pictures attached were only caught on the bait feeder reels. I have other people fishing with me who do not own bait feeder reels. The majority of the fish that we bring on the boat are due to the bait feeder reel. The fish don't feel any resistance and do not drop the bait after the hit. I have to cut the hook off on about 1/2 of the fish since it is in their stomach when they come in. I have only been fishing for about 1 month and have caught Channel cats, flat heads, blues, striper, wiper, largemouth, and spotted bass using live or fresh dead bait. I would feel comfortable using my setup on saltwater striper and any size freshwater fish in north america. I don't think I would need more than the 50 series on freshwater unless I was targeting trophy cats, king salmon, alligator gar, or giant musky. The only down side it that it isn't a $100 bullet proof reel. If you take care of it it should last you a long time. I plan to buy more of all sizes so that I can always set a rod down without worry that a fish will take my setup.
