When you are ready to set the hook, you flip down the baitfeeder lever to engage the drag, and the conventional front drag takes over.

Question:	I ordered one but received in damaged condition....where do u get its bail mount bracket...i mean where to place order for that par
Answer:	send it back and they will replace it
Question:	Can I reel in a 100 plus pound alligator Gar with the 7000 series
Answer:	Honestly, I wouldn't chance it. I own the 5000 series and it's only rated at 22lbs. I caught a 30lb carp and it was quite a task. Gar can reach 200+ lbs so I would use something a little more heavy duty. Something made for salt water.
Question:	What is a good rod that you would recommend
Answer:	So far I’ve been using a 12 feet and a 10 feet Lamiglas surf fishing rods with a 3-4 ounces weights for fishing. In fact I have bought three of them for surf fishing 👍

Answer:	I have the 6000 and i have it spooled with 80 lb braid and it can fit almost all of the 150 yard spool

Product description

For us at Okuma Fishing Tackle, fishing is a life-long adventure. Collectively, 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.

Product features

Where Trout And Panfish Rule: ABF-20b

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.

General Freshwater: ABF-30b and ABF-40b

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.

When Big Baits Equal Big Fish: ABF-55b and ABF-65b

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.

Fishing The Open Ocean- ABF-65b and ABF-80b

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.

Okuma Baitfeeder Technology

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have 8 yea Stella 2500. Arm to reel seat is bent approx. one inch below foot about 15 degrees. Can arm be straightened
Answer:	being aluminum and a casting it is hard to say.what i would do is secure it in a vice with cardboard wrapped around the arm so you do not mar the arm.see if you can tap it with a piece of wood and a hammer.a little at a time.if it snaps off go to ace hardware and buy some pc7 epoxy,it is a 2 part epoxy that mixes like clay,it will not run and is thick.grind the ends to a point and fill in with pc7.you can smooth it with a wet finger.you may need to hold it in place with tape at each end of the reel seat.it takes 24 hours to dry and can be sanded and painted,i have used this to repair a cracked block.hope this helps.
Question:	can you recommend a good shimano saltwater rod to pair with this reel
Answer:	I perfer one piece rods. Ugly sticks make a lot of good heavy Rods that work well with this reel. I have an ugly stick with one and a Shimano rod with another. The ugly stick is about 6'6" and the other one is a lil over 7'
Question:	How does the "auto return" feature work
Answer:	The "bait runner" feature of this reel lets you live line or drift bait with a light drag. The tension on this drag system is independent of the main drag and is controlled by a knob at the back of the reel. The "auto return" feature refers to the ability of the reel to switch to your main drag setting with a slight turn of the handle or the flip of a switch, also located at the rear of the reel.
Question:	Is this item durable
Answer:	Yes these reels are very durable. we have caught probably over a thousand salmon with them and they never fail. They also make the best downrigger reels.

New Avenger ABF Baitfeeder

Baitfeeding spinning reels lend tremendous function to anglers. And this is not just in saltwater fisheries where baitfeeding spinning reels allow live baits to swim uninhibited. Use of baitfeeders is expanding dramatically in freshwater applications also, in fisheries like trout and catfish, where it’s to the angler’s advantage to ensure fish have a solid hold of baits before setting the hook. The venerable Okuma Avenger ABF spinning reels have undergone numerous upgrades to form and function in this refined and advanced selection.

Okuma's baitfeeding system allows anglers to disengage their spinning reel spool and allow their bait to run freely. The baitfeeding system incorporates a secondary micro-adjustable drag system at the rear of the reel that allows for precise adjustment of the spool for bait control.

In order to disengage this system simply turn the handle. The On/Off lever on the rear of the reel will automatically disengage the baitfeeding system so you can fight your fish with the main drag system
