Line capacity?

Q:
What is the ideal size for Walleye and bass?
Answer: if you choose AKATAKA rod for L or ML size and fish with lighter line and lure , 2000 is better. Otherwise, 3000 is better for M and MH rod and use medium to heavier line and lure.
Answer: Certainly not the 2000. I bought the 3000 and even that is smaller than I expected. It works fine for me though and I fish mostly for bass. I’m not sure how much larger the 4000 is and maybe someone else will be able to say. I thought I would be able to attach a picture but don’t see that option.
Answer: The 4000 is what I use 99% of the time..

Answer:
Answer: You need to remove that circle gray adapter so it can go in on the other side so you can switch it from right to left or vise versa. You can use the white cap and try to pop it out.
Answer: I had the same problem and had great difficulty figuring it out. You need to pop off the pretty gold plastic near the handle base and you will be able to change the handle from there. BTW, the reel is junk and I returned it. Handle was part of the problem!
Answer: It will go in either left hand or right hand, just reverse it by taking it out of the one side and putting it in the other side..
Answer: U sure the plastic plug was not left behind there should be the same on each side

Answer: Unscrew the knob, pull the handle out and put it in the place where the knob was, and screw the knob back in the side the handle was...
Answer: U unscrew the cap from the opposite side of the handle then will the handle out and back in the side not hard to do then screw the cap back in
Answer: It's simple unscrew handle and remove then take the small bushing out of the hole where the handle was .move it to ather side. Slide handle in and put on screw and tighten

Q:
What size should I purchase for trout?
Answer: I purchased the 2000 for inshore fishing a little over a month ago. I have caught slot redfish, mangrove snapper and several trout with this reel. So far I have been very pleased with this reel. A 2000 should do the trick for trout.
Answer: For trout I would go with the 2000 series. That reel will perform better because you most likely will be using light to ultra light line.

ronald homer : beautifully made
very compact reel and was very easy to change handel position
Chupacabra : You get what you pay for!
Took this little baby out for a spin in the Eastern Sierras here in CA. Piece of junk I can not wait to return. The bale would snap closed every overhead cast on a 7' pole. I could only cast sidearm. Handle had to be re-tightened after every cast.
SA : Best reel for the price
One best reel I’ve ever bought. Very nice and smooth reel for the price.
JuanCCintron : Cómo lo descrito, lindo y robusto. Muy buena compra, recomendado

Capt Geo : Great reel, but the drag broke in 6 months.

Opened box, attached to pole, reel wouldn't spin smoothly. Thought this was a good value but I guess this is the bad apple of the bunch. Will be returning.
Alexis : Decent for $29.00
I have the 4000. Needs a bigger handle.
mom10 : Nice rod.
I ordered this for my son, and he loves it. Very nice rod.
Pirate : Nice reel
I finally got a chance to take my new Akataka setup out! I have to say, this thing is smooth! The only thing I dont care for is the reel handle. it swivels and is not locked in place and can at times be annoying. Overall though, I like the feel and sturdiness it provides.
Victor : good quality reel
good looking reel. reels in smooth. seems pretty durable. fast delivery good reel for the price.
Derek : Smooth as Silk!!
This reel has a quality feel, nicely packaged. Reeling is super smooth, zero friction. One of the smoothest I have ever used, especially for this price. I ran down to the lake last night just to make a few casts, long range! And still smooth as can be. Will be ocean fishing in three weeks, will definitely be taking this reel with me! Great quality, awesome price!!!

jean-joseph kalonji : Not good sometimes buying stuffs on line
It just come and I constate that the is not good enough it turning in oarecarr sens without stopping amid trying to stop it with the little trigger made for that and I decided to open it sure knowing I am losing my guarantee stupid reels throwing money in garbage.....
GREGORY L. : A good reel for a better price
The reel is smooth and seems strong, but compact. The only concern I have is that the distance between the mounting base and the reel bail is a little short, when reeling and closing the bail, your hands are struck by the bail.
Tech Fan : Great reel!
Absolutely beautiful and high quality reel! Would recommend to anyone. Not only was it built to last, it is also beautiful!
Kirsten M. : Reliability

Jake Castillo : Now that's a good reel for a good price!
Originally I was a little hesitant on getting a reel that wasn't brand name since that's all I've used for 15 years. But after a recent let down from my phluger presidential that I wasted $50 on, I decided to give Akataka a try. And boy did it not let me down. This reel is smooth, tough, and beautiful in person. Just took it lake fishing on the first day of un boxing and on my first cast I caught a 8lb big mouth with 10lb braided line! If you're looking to switch it up a bit and maybe try something non big name branded then I would give this reel a try.
Tryston W. : Great reel
This reel looks amazing and even feels better. it has interchangeable handles for left or right handed people. It is very smooth and I would highly recommend this product to anyone that is looking for a new reel. the handle is very comfortable
Billy Hernandez : Fishing reel
I have used this reel two times and it feels pretty good. The reel is light and it looks like a good deal for the money. The only thing I am not sure about is how well the reel will last since I have not use it enough. Overall it it is a nice looking reel . Thank you
Alexis : Decent for $29.00
I have the 4000. Needs a bigger handle.
Ky Fire Guy : Good looking, solid yet sleek reel.
Just received my Akataka 2000 reel. The packaging external and internal was more than adequate for the journey. The reel is sleek, yet sturdy with all the parts operating smoothly. The rubber material on the spool covers most of the area the line ties to, so braided line will stay secure. I will use this for saltwater fishing this week. It appears it will hold up to conditions fine. I will follow up with a post use opinion in the next week or two.
Damon : Beautiful piece of equipment
The reel is very nice. The model 4000 is perfect for freshwater and saltwater fishing. Redfish speckled trout etc. It arrived ahead of schedule.
Ubaldo Rodriguez : Great looking reel and fast free shipping
Looks really good , smooth , anti reverse is on point ???????? , i spooled it up with 6lb Daiwa monofilament now to to go use it this weekend hopefully get some good fish with it , I have the 2000 size and will use it for pan fish and bass .
Crystal Rodriguez : Good for the money
Overall the reel feels great, and light. The only thing I would say about it is that the gold accents look like it won’t last since it’s plastic and not metal, and the drag knob is plastic as well. Wish they would’ve just made it all aluminum. But overall jice
Alexis : Decent for $29.00
I have the 4000. Needs a bigger handle.
