User questions & answers

Question:	is it good for freshwater fishing
Answer:	Yes. My favorite reel for river salmon fishing!
Question:	What line would be best for trolling for kokanee and how much would fill the okuma coldwater 350 low profile linecounter reel
Answer:	This is a difficult question to answer, because it depends how you are fishing as well as where you are fishing. On of our top pro-staff in the Pacific Northwest that specializes in Kokanee fishing recommends using 10-12 lbs monofilament for his trolling. Monofilament is recommended, because of the stretch factor which helps with the and Kokanee’s soft mouth. The Coldwater 350 holds 250-yds of 12-lbs monofilament
Question:	Is this reel used for salmon fishing? What is the differences between 354A and 354D
Answer:	i used it for lake trout and pike fishing with 30 pound braid line
Question:	Does the line counter on this reel work for surf casting long distances at high speeds
Answer:	I would not recommend using a counter reel for long cast applications. The added transmission gears that drive the counter will not allow the reel to freespool as freely as casting reel without a counter.

User questions & answers

Question:	does it come with a rod clamp
Answer:	Yes they should. Maybe a little too much. They have a very aggressive adhesive because automobile carpet are treated with so many chemicals you need something that will stick!
Question:	Is this reel good for saltwater trolling planers
Answer:	Its not the best quality but it does the job and it’s safe in the heat
Question:	What are the demontions of this reel
Answer:	The rolls are 200 feet long, and it's perforated every 21 inches so that's approx 114 sheets per roll.
Question:	how well does it cast
Answer:	The back mats are solid black and the frog decal on the front mats are small in comparison to the size of the mat. Also there is a piece of Velcro to help keep the mat in place under the driver's feet that isn't really effective. They are good mats though. Really thick and clean up easily

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.

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.
