Product Description

For us at okuma fishing tackle, fishing is a life-long adventure. Collectively, none of us fish as often, catch as many, or are as consistently successful as we would like, and thankfully so. Fishing is not a destination; it's an endless pursuit that begins long before we ever get to the water. The anticipation of the next opportunity is as valuable as the time spent on the water. At okuma, we Craft the tools for the journey. From entry-level through expert, every rod and reel is constructed not only to execute, but also to excite, energize and exhilarate. From feeling the tap, tap, tap of a drift rig Searching its way along the bottom of a Steelhead stream, to turning a lifeless lead Jig into a fleeing bait-fish in the salt, every cast, crank, bobber down and hookup are the rich details of the journey.

Took it on its maiden voyage last weekend out of Port Aransas and it did great. Ended up hooking 3 yellowfin
Bought this to use with a Cruz popping mh rod for top water tuna in the Gulf of Mexico. Took it on its maiden voyage last weekend out of Port Aransas and it did great. Ended up hooking 3 yellowfin, two on a halco max 130 stickbait and 1 on a Shimano pop orca popper. Gear ratio was great for both applications. Lost one of the stickbait fish due to a tangle but boated the other two. The larger fish went 70# and I felt the reel easily handled that size fish. I put 300 yds of 65# suffix braid on the reel and just fished a short topshot. For the price this is a great setup for these size fish.

I ordered the 55 and the 80. Used but in excellent condition. Basically floor models. The 55 I'll use as heavy flats and the 80 as a jigging reel for open water. I've used Okuma products for year's and like the product. I've always wanted to try the Azores. I haven't as of yet but for the quality and the drag system I'm excited. The 40+ pounds of drag and the 29 pounds of drag on the 55 will be put to the test. I'll post again soon. For the money I paid for the excellent quality used I doubt I can ever beat that price. Shimano for the price can't touch them. I do however find the reels pretty heavy. No worries.

I usually fish Shimano and I wasn't sure about these reels. I picked up two 65s and was very surprised to see how well they work. Great quality, 44 #s of smooth drag, big spools and good ratio. It is considerably bigger and heavier than my Saragosa 6000 but has almost double the dragand I can buy three for the price of the Saragosa. I will be buying more Okuma in the future.

I had to get used to the thickness and the material of the handle. Once that happened, I don't have any complaints. In my opinion the reel works a lot better with braided line. I use it primarily in the surf. No complaints here.

Decent reel but I guess it had a loose screw. The bail arm cover opened and the spring and pin fell out. IMPOSSIBLE getting parts. Okuma Website is a joke to deal with....tells you to register to get parts. Then after you register there is no link to parts purchase. I tried calling and got "MAIL BOX IS FULL" CAN YOU IMAGINE!
I WILL NEVER BUY ANY OKUMA PRODUCTS AGAIN!!!!!

Spinning Rod, Supper Nice, I did order the z-65 it was nice as well. but to big, Had to send it back, to get the z-55. You could even go down to the next size down. On this combo if you are going to fish Inshore Only. But I am fishing offshore with Mine. This Z-55s is a (SILVER KING KILLER) Inshore/offshore can not kill it. Take note the z-55/z-65`s are not a light Reel they Made to last. There is not any feed back on the Z55s so Now there is. I live in West FL. Clearwater/Dunedin, Inshore/Offshore/Reef`s.

Build quality appears excellent but have not yet used the reel. Was purchased at a discounted price so I would say exceptional value, but again that opinion is expresses with no usage history.
