Questions about Okuma Fishing CL-302L-CL Classic Pro Graphite Trolling Reel Clam Pack (Small, Black)

is the reel good for trolling

Answer: The Classic Pro reel works very well as a trolling reel. We also have the Magda pro reel which features a line counter.

Answer: I have two of theses reels the 1st was made very good metal gear etc the newer one is junk lots of plastic on the inside so I would be careful.

Answer: I have both Classic Pro and Magma models. I use them to troll for salmons and lakers.

Answer: Yes it's very good for trolling

Answer: I have not used it for such but articles I have read would suggest it is

Answer: yes

how much is the drag capacity of this reel?

Answer: I believe up to 17. i can't find it on that reel but i also have classic pro's and magda's, both in the same reel size class and they are both 17 LBS.

Answer: I use it at about 15-17 # roger

Answer: Garbage, don't buy it. Didn't last one trip. Buy shimano or penn

Confused, says 210/20 then states fits 420yds. 20 lb test?

Answer: The CL-302L has a line capacity of 420yds /20 lb. ( monofilament )

Answer: It's probably mislabeled. It should read 420yds 10lb test. 210yds of 20lb test.

Answer: meaning braided line because it has a smaller diameter

Does it cast very far

Answer: With30 lb mono and 4 oz wight i will cast about 70 yards with mine.

Answer: I don't usually cast it. But, I have seen one of my friends cast it really far many times. I typically use it for bottom fishing on a party boat.

Answer: Depending on the line you use. I have been using 40lb Cajun and hae been happy with it so far.

Answer: Like any reel its based on your ability and amount of weight you are using. It goes as far as need it too

Answer: fairly far for this type of reel

Answer: NO and if it is the new model it has plastic gears

Does this clam pack come with a rod clamp?

Answer: Yes it does come with a rod clamp and extra screws.

Answer: Yes, this reel does come with the rod clamp.

Answer: It's been over a year since I ordered a few of these but I want to say that they do come included

is this reel okuma cl-302l-cl capable of landing a white sturgeon?

Answer: I wouldn’t recommend this reel for heavy fish, because the drag is very touchy. There is a fine line between too little drag and too much drag.

Answer: I have landed a catfish at 75 lbs the real held up good.

Answer: Probably it's a really sturdy reel caught pretty good size fish

Answer: Yes most likely, the build quality I really good i have got some really big aggressive fish on this and haven't had a issue with it so far

Answer: I would say yes.

I do a lot of catfishing, mostly from shore but im getting boat soon. would this be well suited or should i opt for the clx-300la instead?

Answer: I purchased the 302L last year and haven’t been been happy with it. The drag isn’t smooth and it’s heavy. I recently ordered a 202L to match my old one, because I like it much better. Unfortunately the 202L isn’t manufactured anymore. You can find one occasionally, but finding a new one is difficult.

Answer: I think the reel is garbage. I'd never buy another okuma product.

where can i buy parts my drag level brokren

Answer: Stores.tunasreeltroubles.com has okuma parts if you insist on fixing it. I'd take this opportunity to upgrade and replace the reel altogether.

Answer: Okuma Warranty Center 2310 E. Locust court, Ontario, CA 91761

Answer: May be you can contact the manufacturer.

how many meters of 50lbs braid can I put on this reel ?

Answer: The Classic Pro 302L will hold approx. 300 yds of braid.

Answer: I put 500 yards on mine.

How do i get this in left hand retrieve?

Answer: Okuma does produce the left hand models CLX-300LXa and CLX-302LXa but Amazon does not carry them.

Answer: This model is only available in a right hand retrieve.

Answer: just have to scan through the options it was an option to have it left handed in the description

Answer: I found mine on amazon, but they have some listed on ebay

What type of rod should be used with this reel?

Answer: Medium light to medium action rod rated for 10-20 lb or 15-30 lb should work great for 1/2 day or 3/4 day fishing. Tight lines.

Answer:

Answer: I iuse a 7ft.ugly stick, medium strength. bought it at bass pro. I have tried others , but this one gives me great casting. Bass Pro $29.00

is this a left or right hand

Answer: It is right hand spool but when it is used at the boat fishing it can be used not left and right.

Answer: This is a right hand model.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the 300 la and the 302?

Answer: The CL-300L is a bushing drive reel, when you move to the 302L, this will be a 2 ball bearing reel and you will have stainless steel reinforcing sideplate rings.

Answer: Not good reels. Rusted up after one use.

Is this reel bigger than the magda pro 20?

Answer: Yes. The CL-302L-CL is bigger than the Magda Pro Ma-20DX

Answer: No idea. But I can tell you this reel is poorly built and don't even consider using in saltwater.

Any ideas why reel makes loud click and doesn't let line out with bail open and 4oz weight? Used 5 times, always rinse well after fishing in ocean

Answer: take apart and clean and check each part thoroughly. I've had mine for about 4 years no issue and I fish rain sleet or snow. What bail do you mean spinning reels have bails these just have freespool and line guide. Do you mean worm gear

Answer: It sounds like the clicker is engaged. On the side plate, slide the clicker button to the off position. Also, check the spool tension knob on the opposite side to make sure it's not over tightened. If this is not the case, the reel will need to be serviced.

Answer: you need to take the clicker off the little button on the side.

does this product have a bait clicker?

Answer: Yes, it does have a bait clicker on the side..

Answer: YES, A VERY NICE BAIT CLICKER

Answer: Yes

Is there a left hand retrieve version?

Answer: Yes, I purchased one

Why when i pull the arm back to drop line down. Why when I start reeling the arm does not come back up I have to manually move arm up?

Answer: The Classic pro does not feature an auto trip function. It has to be manually engaged.

Answer: AS far as I know that is the way a conventional style reel works at least any of the 20 or so I own work

Answer: That's the way it is designed; Like many other reels. roger

s this reel the same size as the 20dx model with the line counter......only without the counter?

Answer: Not sure if it is the same as the 20 dx but I already had to send mine back to Okuma - my old model with same model number had metal gears and worked fine This new one I purchased from Amazon my local repair guy did not even want to touch because of its poor quality . Good Luck

Answer: Not sure but they look similiar in size. Mine is still working fine. A buddy of mine was using it on our last trip a month ago and caught a bunch of rock fish and sculpin with a 12 oz sinker.

Answer: Don't know, can tell you this though. I bought two and both are out of commission. Cheap build, didn't last one trip. Go with Shimano or Penn

Does this item have the aluminum spool like it says in the product info or the graphite spool? There is conflicting info on the same page.

Answer: The Classic reel comes with a graphite spool . The Classic Pro is the reel model that comes with an aluminum spool.

Answer: I believe mine is aluminum

Answer: Bought it for my grandson 12 years old he really likes it works. Like it says

Answer: Aluminum, the entire interior is cheap plastic and regular steel. Rust bucket

is the cl-302l-cl available in a right handed version? you it in left handed version

Très déçu, le levier du frein de tambour ne revient pas à sa position initial, il faut le pousser manuellement vers l'avant pour qu'il puisse fonctionner.

Excellent service. Received my item in a timely manner. Good starter reel. I used it mainly for bottom fishing (rockfish, sculpin, whitefish, etc.) and it performed decently. Levelwind makes it easy to use. Spooled with 20 lb mono and it seems to work really well.

A Sparks : Good value

It was a little bigger than I expected, but didn’t pay close attention to that spec when ordering. Works for fishing - not so much for catching just yet.

Millrat : Good reel, but larger than I expected.

Slightly bigger than I wanted, but a great reel. I wanted a 200 series for the size, these are no longer available. The drag is really touchy, so 4 stars.
