Rich Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Does anyone have experience with the Okuma "Instinct" baitcasting reels, experiences, good or bad? Am thinking about purchasing one and would like to compare it to some others I've been debating. Most importantly, does it have plastic gears. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Rich Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Awesome, thanks for the info Chrispy! Looks like that will be my purchase. Much better than the BPS lower end round reels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrispy Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 if the drag system is anything like the VS series you will love that reel....I have a few Okuma's and the drag system on the cheaper reels are that of more expensive models of the other brands....SMOOTH!!!! Good luck with that Buddy.....Hey I'm not sure if you are close to London or not but there is a fishing show on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th at the Western Fair Grounds.....I'll be working the Wally's Baits booth.....stop by and say HEY!!
