Is this safe for saltwater?

Answer: Yes sir

Where do I get a spare spool for this reel ? Possibly with more line capacity.

I would love to know how light you can set the rear drag on these! ideally looking for a drag that will barely hold a minnow jig set up at x depth?

Answer: Not sure how to give you an exact answer. It’s really light at the lowest setting but it’ll still make your rod tip move when pulling line

Product reviews of Okuma Ceymar Baitfeeder Spinning Reel

kristian thompson : Trout slayer

Awesome reel!

taylor froemming : Excellent quality

Nought this to use with my Ifish Pro this ice fishing season. It is perfect for this application, and others. Buying the 1000 next!

John Beitia : It Is What It Is

It’s what I expected worth the money make sure you adjust braking system to lessen/avoid tangles - a real waste of time untangling I’d rather be FISHING

Amazon Customer : So far so good

So far I love it !

LIVIT : Flawless

My go too for light trolling (inshore fresh for walleye etc and inshore salt), surf fishing, drifting etc.. I have lost count of how many Stripers, Red and Black Drum, Sea Trout, Flounder and more I have caught using this reel paired up with the right ugly stik. I have found these Okuma series to be a better quality than the 2 1/2 times the price of the comparative Shimano bait runners. I have been using Okuma bait feeders for years now and have yet to be disappointed.

VitreusVirtues : Worked exactly as described

Reel is very smooth and both the normal drag and baitfeeder drag worked flawlessly. Hard to rate durability at this point as it is to new, but the reel feels sturdy.

Alonzo J. Taylor : Awesome Reel for a great deal !

I loved the baitrunner feature. I liked the smoothness of the CBF-40 reel it pairs very well with my Ugly Stick GX2 7ft rod that I use fishing for catfish. The spool is loaded up with 20lb Power Pro Braid plenty of line for the spool.

Joe lobono : Excellent service an delivery

Very nice reel

M.Weber : Great ice fishing reel

Great reel for my ice fishing setup! Light weight with a big handle which allows you to keep your gloves on. Great product! I own 3 of these and they are awesome.

yosmel : No sirve

Es muy chiquito ni para niños sirve

Karo : Okuma Ceymar Baitfeeder Spinning Reel

Perfect for small fish fishing and ultralight rods in open water.

Paul c. : Great

Very condition

Ian Dexter : Definitely worth the money.

Worked great for deadstick.

T. Heunaosoa : Good reel for the money

Everything is good on this reel. I would spend a few extra buck for the Trio though. Trio, in my opinion, has a smoother spin and feels more sturdy or solid. will have to use both of them for a while to see which one last longer and remains the same longer. I have Okuma avenger and have used them for the past few years. Love them as they were but wanted to see how the upper end felt like and I like them too.

Outcast : Not disappointed. Good price point.

Action was smooth. Drag top notch

M.Weber : Great ice fishing reel

Great reel for my ice fishing setup! Light weight with a big handle which allows you to keep your gloves on. Great product! I own 3 of these and they are awesome.

Wanda C. : A good reel

Great baitfeeder reel for the price.

jake : Smooth reel

Excellent reel ! Okuma is stepping up their game with this one!

Bruce : It's a great reel
