Product reviews of Okuma Ceymar Baitfeeder Spinning Reel

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.

Outcast : Not disappointed. Good price point.

Action was smooth. Drag top notch

Jerry Sanford : Quality reel for a good price

Well made reel vey smooth drag system

Raymond Nguyen : Ok baitfeeder real

It's a ok baitfeeder reel, for the price, i don't think you can beat it

Karo : Okuma Ceymar Baitfeeder Spinning Reel

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

robert beaver : Line cap.

On Amazon web site the ceymar cbf 1000 says 140 yards of 10lb test however when I got the reel it only holds 110 yards of 6lb. I actually like that it only holds 110 yards of 6 cause I plan on using 10lb braided line. Very well built smooth, light weight, highly recommended. ????

Amazon Customer : So far so good

So far I love it !

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!

Paul c. : Great

Very condition

Tracker : Awesome set line reel

This is an awesome set line reel for ice fishing.

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.

robert beaver : Line cap.

MNESOTN : Greatvreel

Great reel. Wish the bait runner drag click would be a little louder.

Jerry Sanford : Quality reel for a good price

Well made reel vey smooth drag system

Amazon Customer : So far so good

So far I love it !

Jonathan m. : La línea se mete por debajo de la bobina

La construcción de este carrete es excelente se nota muy buena calidad, es algo pesado pero muy suave cuando se envuelve, lo usé con una línea muy delgada de 4 LB 0,180 mm y tiene a mi modo de ver un defecto fatal y es que tiene mucho espacio entre la bonina y el rotor, como el espacio es grande la línea se mete con mucha facilidad llegando hasta el eje y ya se imaginaran el desastre, aclaro no soy un novato tengo muchos carretes spinning y es la primera vez que me pasa esto.

Ian Dexter : Definitely worth the money.

Worked great for deadstick.

MNESOTN : Greatvreel

Great reel. Wish the bait runner drag click would be a little louder.

Mr. William Lutman : Value for roller is hard to beat

Good reel for your dollar. I have 3 now pier Fishing for Salmon. Quality is there and these have good reputation among fishermen

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!
