Comments: this real is great! i used the piss out of it an i was fishing an all i herd was a huge bang like if it got hit by a bullet an the side plate shot off the real and landed in the lake an the spoll flew with it i was able to save the spoll but not the side plate. but this real is great for the most part!

Comments: I don't own one but a close friend does and has let me borrow it for a few tourneys. I really do not like the feel of it in comparison to my shimano's and abu garcias, or even to other okuma reels. I own the Okuma Cayenne ( knock off of the serrano) and it is a great reel. This one is very finicky with its adjustments on the spool tension, really have to play with it to get it right. Its also BIG. The cayenne i have is 7.2 ounces but it feel half the size of this reel. Its definitely not the worst reel i have ever used, but i will not be buying it in the future.

Comments: Got this real and fished it pretty good during the season. Seemed to hold up pretty well, even against a 30 inch muskie! I love the color scheme and I love the price even more. If you are sure you want to get into bass fishing and are just starting out, for 120 bucks, you cant beat this reel.

Comments: I bought the 7.3 for flippin, and I couldn't have made a better decision. Lightning fast, comfortable in the hand, and decently light. Especially for flippin this reel handles the most thick and brutal crap that I can find. Great  reel for an even greater price.

Comments: I just cant tell you how smooth this reel is usually I use reels in the 170.00 to 200.00 dollar range its great to find one at 119.00. Would not try one before because I could not pronouce the name (still can't) But will for sure purchase another. Thanks to Tackle Warehouse their shipments is always speedy

From: David: Oroville, CA

Comments: This reel is very smooth and fishes like a reel costing twice as much.  I have this on a 7'3" Duckett M/H rod with 30lb braid and use it for jigs and carolina rigs.  The 7.3:1 is extremely fast but still strong enough to pull fish out of heavy cover.  Also worth mentioning is Tackle warehouse and there excellent service.  I live close to both cabela's and Basspro but choose to deal with TW because of there knowledge and fast service.  Keep up the good work.

Comments: I purchased the 5.4:1 gear ratio reel to pair up with my 7' skeet reese tessera cranking rod to throw all shallow to mid running crankbaits and it works excellent.  Reels super super smooth and probably the smoothest reel I have ever felt.  Casts light baits a long ways with 12 lbs fluoro and haven't had a bit of a problem with backlashes.  I love the swept handle and the large knobs as well.  For the price I'd say this is an amazing reel.

From: Brian

Comments: Purchased this reel for the blazing fast retrieve, and have not been disapointed in the least bit. I usually don't write reviews, but after reading the ones above comparing it to 300.00 reels I thought I would chime in. This is my new rip bait reel and casts like a reel in a much higher price bracket. Last time I checked any reel with this quick of a retrieve is about 100.00 to 200.00 more. Have not heard any bearing noises yet either. Can't wait for the postspawn ripbait bite!!!

From: Michael: Lake Havasu, AZ/ Southern California

Comments: This reel feels like its an average reel compared to Shimano Chronarch & Curado or Abu Garcia Revo SX & STX.You get what you pay for. I got it on Amazon for $91.69 SHIPPED. If i would have paid full price $119.99...i would be really pissed ! The only reason i'm keeping it is that it's 7.3:1 High Speed. Score it a 6 out of 10 because of the 7.3:1 and Cool Looks. Stick tom Shimano or Revo's.

From: Jeff: Newnan, GA

Comments: This reel seems OK for the money. Bearings make alot of noize. I own Shimano Chronarch's - Shimano Curado's and Abu Garcia REVO SX & STX's...The Citrix is just an average reel compared to the others...I would give it a 6 out of 10 only because of the good looks and High Speed 7.3:1 gear ratio....oh bye the way, it's made in CHINA ! I thought Okuma was Japanese ? This is my First and Last Okuma....Stick with Shimano or Abu

From: Jeff: Newnan, GA

Comments: Just got this reel yesterday. Haven't fished it yet, just tried it out at a local pond. Feels nice, cast a lightweight crankbait a mile. Got the 5:3:1 for cranking and believe I will have good cranking power. Love the oversized reel grips. Nice tacky rubber feel to them. All around I think this reel could be better at 89.99 or 99.99 but I'm happy with it.
