Fishermen's opinions about Okuma Convector

Nice reels for copper

2/28/2013 10:22:23 AM 5 of 5 stars 5 out of 5 stars

I purchased one of these reels used that had been 4 years old.
It still works great and a CV-55L will fit a 300' copper no problem.

Biggest waste of money

This reel didn't even make it one day on the ocean before it broke. Drag failed and wouldn't even tighten up enough to pull my rigging in.
VERY disappointed and I shy away from this brand now. BTW should a saltwater rated reel drip rust after one day? JUNK.

I used the cv-55l at the beach for 2 days be 4 it broke it stop casting out it would not free spool. I own some 20 reels or so I have some credibility in reels.

Great Product

The handle is great when reeling in the long lines while salmon fishing. The drag is very nice and easy to adjust in the heat of the battle. I've had two other identical reels for a few years and really loved them so I bought two more. I'm running braided line for my dipsy diver on these reels and they work well.

Best reel for the money

These are the beat reels on the market for the money, and right up there if not better then more expensive models. Will buy more.
