Powerful and light

William

I use this reel for GT and other trevally in Hawaii. Ive brought in a 52lb GT with the 6000 with no reel-related problem. I was able to crank down the drag when I was close to being reefed which really ended up saving the day.

Bought the 8000 model few mnts back, was a little to heavy for surf fishing all day but awesome for jigging, finally saw that the 6000 was in stock and so happy i got it, perfect reel for the surf, super light and heavy drag cant wait to try it out on some Jersey strippers

This is a reel with a sturdy frame and super-strong drag that has performed admirably. Handled 30-40 school yellowfin tuna without breaking a sweat. The fish-stopping power of its double-stacked drag is simply unreal. Highly recommended.

Very light weight easy for casting
A lot of power due to the drag
Long line for surf or pier casting
Not to big just the right size

A good looking entry level reel good for medium to light application. The drag is okay but it could be improved by using carbon fiber washers. Not sure about it's durability.

Okuma Cedros 55 spinning reel

Bought this reel last year (2011) and was told I wasted my money by friends. Well between last year and this year this reel has stood up to Stripers to 42 LBS and the brutal runs of Bluefish in the 15-18 LB class and not a single flaw! The drag is still smooth and the reel works like the day I bought it! Don't think I wasted my money!

Asked by M.Menzi 3 years ago

For tuna popping, Daiwa BG 8000 or Okuma Cedros 10.000 is better ?

Post an Answer

Alex T 3 years ago

I would say the Cedros is better suited to handle this fishing application, the only advantage to the BG would be line capacity

Which size would fit best on the Okuma Nomad NTi-S-703M-MH? And how much 20lb braid would that reel handle? Thx.

The 55s reel would fit best on the Okuma Nomad NTi-S-703M-MH. You would easily fit 500 yards of 20 lb braid on the 55s.

Asked by Mychal 6 years ago

Can the 65s handle tuna and marlin up to 100lbs

Post an Answer

Devon 6 years ago

I cannot say with confidence that the Cedros can withstand fish of that size. Spinning reels I would suggest for Tuna and Marlin of that size would be the Shimano Saragosa and Penn Slammer III.

I would go with either the 45 or 55 Cedros, especially if you are jigging. They are lighter reels compared to the Azure, but still have a quick line retrieval. I personally would choose the 55.
