Okuma ABF65b Avenger ABF "B" Series Baitfeeder Reels

I have several different sizes of the Okuma spinning reels and have been very satisfied with each. The ABF 6000 and ABF-B 6500 are heavy duty reels I use for catfishing. I do feel the increased capacity of the 6500 is worth the extra cost. Additionally, the bait runner switch on the 6500 is activated by flipping the switch in the opposite direction than that of the 6000 which is an improvement as well. If you slide the 6000 in a rod holder you can accidentally activate the bait runner inadvertently. Either way both are great, but in my opinion the ABF series is a step up in both lane capacity and the way the bait runner switch works. Both reels are extremely smooth!

Happy with new reel n faster delivery

When it comes to purchasing items usually my husband will send me the item to see and ask me to read the reviews and to give me my opinion of what I think. So this reel just so happened to be one that he had sent me. I read mixed reviews but decided for the price, why not give it a shot! We paired this with a rod we currently had laying around the house and a few days later took it out to give it a test run. When it came to performance this thing is a beast! It pulled in a 58” 100lb Black drum like nothing in a matter of 2 mins. We had read a lot of comments of it breaking or that the bearings went bad but to me, it’s like anything else, if you use the equipment the way it was intended to be used and perform proper maintenance to the equipment then it is going to last. We live in an area that is all saltwater and oil our reels every month and have not had an issue yet. We loved this one so much that we purchased a second one that is the next model below for my father as a Christmas gift. If you are looking for something that is durable and reasonably priced then you should definitely get one, you will not regret it!
