Description

Avenger Baitfeeder spinning reels begin at size 20, perfect for baiting trout and panfish on small ponds, lakes and reservoirs. Cast floating trout baits on slip sinkers, fish live minnows under floats for aggressive crappie, this reel is perfect for 4- to 8-pound test line. Walleye, catfish and bass match well to size 30 and 40 Avenger Baitfeeders. If 8-to-12-pound line is correct for the fishery, these are the proper size reels. The size 40 also crosses over to light inshore applications in saltwater fishing. Large live baits and large predatory fish like pike, musky, striped bass and trophy catfish can require a lot of line capacity on spinning reels. The Avenger Baitfeeder spinning reel in sizes 55 and 65 hold plenty of line for trophy freshwater fish and most saltwater species. You can't be quite sure what will eat your bait in the ocean. It could be a small dolphin fish, it could be a sailfish. In either case, size 65 and 80 Okuma Baitfeeders are the largest spinning reels in the family, ready for fast-moving fish that sprint towards the horizon. When fishing live baits, chunk baits, worms, insects or dough baits, the best fishing success often comes from allowing fish to secure a solid hold of the bait without feeling the resistance of the fishing rod and gear. This is difficult to accomplish with traditional spinning reels. Okuma Baitfeeding Technology is the ultimate bait fishing solution. Featuring a secondary drag system in the rear of the reel, the Baitfeeder switch completely disengages the primary drag system. With the bail of the reel closed and the line remaining well under control, the Baitfeeder switch allows line to pay out under an adjustable amount of tension. Once the fish has had time to completely eat a bait, a turn of the reel handle disengages the baitfeeder system, re-engages the primary drag system and the fish can be hooked and landed with total control. At Okuma Fishing Tackle we deliver more than just fishing gear. We deliver the motivation to hit the water, the energy to maintain focus and the excitement that injects every cast with high expectations. The advanced materials, dynamic design and commitment to longevity contained in each of our fishing reels, fishing rods and rod and reel combos are not simply a means to an end. They're the foundation of a better and more complete fishing experience. Okuma Fishing Tackle is developed inspire your passion for fishing, both on and off the water. Whether you fish for bass, trout, catfish, salmon/steelhead, stripers, tuna or marlin, when the sun rises tomorrow, a new opportunity will be born. Let's make the most of it together.

  • Buy this. Game changer for me.
Style: Abf-55b: 200yds-20lb
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. ... show more

  • Great for the money
Style: Abf-55b: 200yds-20lb
Heck of a reel. I bought the 55b for surf fishing and so far it's sturdy. Will it last a million years?....probably not but it's also not 200 dollars. The bait runner feature is so nice. Had no problem hauling in plenty of bluefish and a 25lb jack

  • can't be beat for the price!
Style: Abf-55b: 200yds-20lb
I'm a Florida saltwater fishomaniac, I'm out on the water at least once or twice a week, in all kinds of weather, for multiple species, Redfish, seatrout, black drum,pompano, bluefish, sheephead, spanish mackerel, snook, cobia, jack crevalle, snapper, Etc.With occasional dances with shark & tarpon. I've had a couple of these for nearly 5 years, and recently got 2 more for guests. Nice smooth action, great bait feeder function, I do wish the ratchet function was a lot louder for wave & surf use. You should get multi packs of line bearings, (uxcell SMR85ZZ Stainless Steel Ball Bearing 5x8x2.5mm Shielded MR85ZZ Bearings 5pcs ) as salt water kills them if you don't keep them lubed. But over all, a surprisingly well made and versatile reel for a great price. The bigger sizes are beefier if you want to throw down with monsters regularly, and you'll get lot's of miles out of these if you clean, strip down and re-lube every season or after immersion in salt water. Tight lines!! 11/23/23 update, 2 years and lots of fish later, I discovered that Okuma specifies these reels are for "light to medium duty FRESHWATER use" but Amazon advertises them as "saltwater spinning reels", which was my primary reason for buying multiples of the ABF 55b. I contacted Amazon recently about the inaccurate advertising, and am hoping they will correct the adds, for the sake of the folks who will buy them and assume they are totally unaffected by repeated exposure to saltwater. (even reels rated for saltwater need to be rinsed and maintained) That being said, I still think these are amazing reels for the price, and with attention to the vulnerable areas, will last for years! The 3 main areas to pay attention to are, 1- The handle, at the inside of the 90 degree elbow, specifically where you can see the metal shaft at the pin/swivel point. This area has a recess that retains water. After rinsing, use compressed air or a can of computer duster, followed up with a squirt of WD40, or a drop of any light oil. 2- The line roller bearing, It's inside the roller the line passes over right off the spool. Remove the screw, you can see the bearing inside what looks like a mini tire rim, keep it clean and oiled. If it starts seizing up, see the bearing number above for replacement. 3- The secondary bait feeder drag. When the pole is in use, it's the lowest point of the reel, It also tends to collect water. It's accessed by first removing the rubber adjuster knob cover that snaps over the knob like a stocking cap. use a guitar pick or a butter knife inserted in the small gap between the cover and the body of the reel to pry back the rim of the cap out of the groove it's snapped into, then peel it off. If the cap is not too old or stiff you can sometimes squeeze it hard enough to get one edge out of the groove. Then remove the plastic cap that's immediately in front of the drag adjuster/wheel, there's 1 screw on the side, and one kind of hidden in a small hole in the front of the stem that attaches the reel to the pole, remove both, pull off the cap/cowl. there's a small slot that you can see right in front of the adjuster wheel, that you can squirt with WD40. Rotate the knob a turn or so back and forth to work the water displacing stuff into the vulnerable works. Wipe off the excess & replace the plastic cap & rubber knob cover. After you've done this once or twice you realize it's easier than it sounds! ... show more

  • Great Reel
Style: Abf-55b: 200yds-20lb
I bought this reel to take on a surf fishing trip to Hatteras. I put the reel on a 12' Okuma surf road and loaded it with PowerPro 30 lb. The reel was smooth and had no issues with several slot reds, 5lb blue, large skate, and other fish. I liked it so much I've picked up another one for my next trip. ... show more
