The Okuma Safina Spinning Reel is built to resist corrosion and deliver precise performance when you need it. The corrosion-resistant graphite body can stand up to punishment. The Cyclonic Flow Rotor (CFR) creates "Cyclonic" airflow that increases airflow through the rotor, so it dries quicker to minimize corrosion. The reel is finished off with a new graphite handle and a quick-set infinite anti-reverse system for rock-solid hook sets.

    Great price and miles ahead of any similarly priced Jarvis Walker reel out there.

    • incipient on 21/02/2022 - 20:19

      My beach rod is using a jw reel, and I haven't used it for a while. Picked it up and compared it to my my usual Abu spinner and the jw is like grinding coffee. A solid, well made reel may cost a few bucks extra but blimey it's worth every penny (if you can justify the cost).

  • parker2004au on 21/02/2022 - 20:21

    Do the bearing count matter much? Most of other ones have 4+1 bearings

    • Sammy Boi on 21/02/2022 - 20:30

      Well yeah the quality and amount of bearings usually matters on the most things that require or use them

    Unless you're a fisherman who sells these reels, you should be blocked from commenting on this post. Nothing special about this deal at all.

      Fisherman fish with these, they don't sell them.

        Interesting, I know a lot of fisherman who work in retail and sell these reels…

    Add $30-40 for a spool of braid and you might as well get this

    https://www.bcf.com.au/p/savage-gear-manic-predator-7ft-2-4k…

    7+1 ball bearing reel instead of 1+1
    pre spooled with backing and braid
    rod included
    soft plastics and jig heads included

    Just grab some FC leader and you're good to go.

    much much better value.

      None of those are equivalent to a 6000 or 8000 series spinning Reel

      But yes I would not buy an 8000 with one+one bearings

      6000/8000 is going to be on a beach rod

    • Ehty on 21/02/2022 - 23:14

      any suggestions what to reel to match with this

      • zeomega on 21/02/2022 - 23:18

        Saragosa, Saltist MG, Vanford, Penn Slammer IV are all decent sealed reels.

        • Ehty on 21/02/2022 - 23:21

          They look expensive, basically I am looking at this

            @Ehty: Budget reel. Can't go wrong with a sienna.

      For anyone getting into fishing, I'd strongly recommend against braid. It knots itself like no one's business. I do use it myself, and have for a while, but even for me blimey it's annoying sometimes!

      • zeomega on 21/02/2022 - 23:42

        What style of fishing do you do?

        • incipient on 22/02/2022 - 02:02

          Mostly rivers and groynes, occasionally beach. Unfortunately not boats as much as I'd like!

            @incipient: You don't know how to tie your braid properly.

            Join your braid directly to flurocarbon leader with an FG knot. 100% breaking strain maintained, if its deccent quality braid it will be superior to fishing mono. The Flurocarbon will be tied to the rest of the rig or direct tie to you lures. Theres no reason for braid to knot up. But then if you have crappy rods with crapping unsmooth rings, thats where your issue is.

            You get what you pay for in fishing.

            • pket on 22/02/2022 - 09:49

              @slam: He is talking wind knots, nothing to do with how its rigged, more about how you cast.

            • incipient on 22/02/2022 - 10:54

              @slam: I'm using a shimano aernos reel on a Abu vantage rod. Granted the rod isn't amazing, but if someone needs better than that for braid that just even further reinforces why braid isn't for beginners!

              I also don't use a leader as such. I tie on a simple running sinker rig (using mono/fluro).

              As a beginner (this post is about a $30 reel) I just think going mono is worth it for the easier knots and handling.

                @incipient: I've got 30 pound Daiwa J-Braid X4 on my Sienna 4000
                Yes it's overkill but it works quite nicely. Unless it's 100% user error I do not get knots at all.
                Everybody I know fishes on braid including myself. It's definitely fine for beginners if anything I would suggest it over mono

                If that's your opinion of braid then your setup is wrong or you're doing something wrong

                • zeomega on 22/02/2022 - 12:28

                  @Sammy Boi: 30 pounds is less likely to get knots.

                  When you go 10 and under it's extremely easy if you don't get your technique right and are casting against the wind.

                • incipient on 22/02/2022 - 14:49

                  @Sammy Boi: Even tangled in my rigs occasionally. The braid gets wrapped around the running sinker.

                  I am starting to get the impression I cast badly haha.

        user error. braid is far superior to mono for the majority of scenarios

          Lol I'm starting to get the impression I cast badly, and possibly using a rig that's not the best.

      • JepunK on 22/02/2022 - 10:24

        try using a better quality braid. A good quality braid does can give wind knots once in a while but, that might be due to a number of things, e.g: connection knots to your rig or to your leader…

        mono is good as well, it provides better stretch when fighting a big fish and potentially easier to untangle compared to braid.

        that said, braid provides better sensitivities especially when doing finesse fishing also braid is generally thinner compared to mono for the same breaking strain and more lines you have.

    Lol no

  • Oldmate88 on 22/02/2022 - 09:29

    I guess this deal would be okay if you have an old rod and just want to chuck on a reel to update the set-up.

    If you're on a budget, using it more than once a month & flexible with the size of the reel, spend an extra $25 and get the Shimano Sienna. It was already cracking value a few years ago and then it got updated.

    depends what mono line you use, you can fit 200 meters of 30lbs EXAGE+ monoline or 200+ meters of 50lbs Jarvis Walker Angler Braid on 8000 series.
    570g weight is ok and 16kg drag is plenty.

    good for beach and rock fishing.

    It’s much more worth it to just put in a little more and get a Shimano Sienna, you can’t beat them at their price! And also if you sign up for the BCF emails you may get a $10 voucher to use also.
