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: we suggest clean it after saltwater use.

how do you swap the handle? i unscrewed it only goes in one side only. one side is a small circle the other is a hexagon. !!!
Answer:
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.

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
Gigi : Wonderful
Great material and condition. I tested it over the weekend and i would highly recommend this reel. Product is just as describe
Jennifer McNamara : Buy this!
I love this reel!! This is the first one I have bought on my own and I made an amazing choice. I’d recommend this reel over some. I dislike the fact that you can’t change the handle to the left side but I’ve gotten used to the right.
Eldan Lee : Very smooth operation
Nice appearance, smooth cranking, handles both left or right hand.
CentralMA_435 : Out of box failure
Came as a right hand vs. left hand retrieve. Normally, this would be an easy reverse the handle procedure but it wasn't. No paperwork was provided with the reel and couldn't find a solution on the website provided. Returned immediately. Went back to an Okuma reel.
Jay⁷ : Like!
Purchased the 4000. Very good quality.
Mark : Sore knuckles
Nice reel if you have big hands beware the bail hits my knuckles if I don't keep a odd grip not comfortable for big hands and my hands not too big
Angel lopez : Good quality reel!
This is a really nice reel for the price,Butter smooth and well balanced. Cast like a dream and the drag is also smooth. I got the 2000 version and is perfectly balanced with my 6’8” spinning rod. I caught couple fish and the reel handle it well. Also the reel looks good too,love the white with gold accents. I spool it with 12lb mono because there is lots of weeds and lilly pads where I fish and still cast very far. If you want a good quality and smooth reel the also looks good and a price the don’t break the bank don’t hesitate get this one.
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.....
Robby : Perfect condition
First Reel I have ever purchased. It came on time and it feels sturdy. I cant wait to see what my first catch on this big boy.
Kaz : Good product for the money. Would like to have more detailed manual
It is good product, but I would like to have more detailed user manual. I wanted to change the side of handle, but I did not find any instruction for it. The sleeve was stuck inside, and I did not see that sleeve comes out for switching side. Other than that I am satisfied.
Jay⁷ : Like!
Purchased the 4000. Very good quality.
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!
1571Hr : Great value
Great value and smooth spinning real. I have not tested it yet but looks like it is going to last. Not big fan of the golden pieces but this is only a personal choice.
Ralph : Great purchase purchase
Feels great, just got it so durability is the only thing left to see. So far so good!!
Rod Alderson : Akataka 3000 spinning reel.
This is an awesome reel.I've spent way more on other reels and this one out performs all of them.
Lulu Lala : Bad product
Used 1 time and product is bad. Not recommended for others at all.
Philip Maher : Very nice reel for the price
This is a rather nice looking reel! Its action feels smooth. The only slight critique is that the bail is a little harder to set but overall a very nice reel especially for the price point. My reel was received with the handle set on the right but it was very easy to remove and reset it on the left.
Michael Ziegler : Well worth the money!!!
I like everything about this reel. It's a very well made reel, especially for the price. I've already used it several times and it is definitely one of the smoothest reels I have ever laid my hands on. Update: This is now my go-to reel. I have switched out all but one of my reels with Akataka. Yeah I know there are better brands, but for the price you really can't beat it. Also, I stick with the 3000.
MH Myrvold : Extremely smooth and nice reel for the price!!
This reel is very very smooth for the price! It’s not cheap and made out of plastic or anything it’s a nice metal. The reeling is so smooth and it’s not to shabby at catching fish either! Would highly recommend!
Daniel Kawasaki : Not the quality you want
Size: 3000 10 lbs. Braided with 6 lbs. Leadline
Right out of the box everything was perfect, smooth, durable feeling, lots of metal parts. Took it out and it was a whole different experience in a bad way. The gears in the drag adjustment were horrible. The gears would slip even when the drag was super tight. When you turn the drag adjustment knob, one click would adjust it way too much then slipping no matter what the drag was set to. After a few throws, the reel got stiff and wasn't smooth like when I got it out of the box just an hour before. Ended up buying a Penn reel for $80 and now I know why it's better to buy brand named stuff when it comes to reels. Was able to cast further because it was so much smoother, no tangles at all compared to the constant tangling with this reel. Save your money and buy something brand name for $50 and you won't regret it!
ronald homer : beautifully made
very compact reel and was very easy to change handel position
Tech Fan : Great reel!

Amazon Customer : Great value
Was shore fishing with this reel and hooked into a nice nurse shark- the reel worked great!
Michael Dodge : Great reel! Nice feel
Got the model 4000 Akataka reel. Very impressed with the line capacity, feel and nice retrieve gears. Extremely light but strong aluminum helps witb stability. Nice drag system. Pulls in hogs all day! For $32 you can't beat a reel like this!
Rod Alderson : Akataka 3000 spinning reel.
This is an awesome reel.I've spent way more on other reels and this one out performs all of them.
Chris & Yolys : Very nice. Works well
Works really well. Worth the money if you need a budget reel.
Mike S : Very bad
I owned and used multiple reels from the 10$ - 200$ . By far this is the worst reel I have ever used.
Kevin : Very Good Quality
This was a lightning deal. The last thing I really need is another reel but it's difficult to pass up a good deal so I thought I'd try my luck. Cranking the handle felt so smooth with little to no play. Some reels the handle has some wiggle to it, back and forth, where it connects to the main body of the reel, the Akataka didn't have any. Because I reel with my left hand I had to switch it to the other side. Like every other reel I've owned you just unscrew the cap and swap it around. There is a plastic bushing/piece that didn't stay attached to the screw and it took me a few minutes to figure out why I couldn't get the hand into the other side. I ended up putting a small screwdriver into it and took it out, put it back on the screw and re-assembled it. I would like some extra spools for different lines, that would be really great. Overall I really like the reel I received and may get a 2000 for my ultralight rods.
Amazon Customer : This was a gift.
It was what the boys wanted.
Woody : It’s Solid and well made.
I rarely write reviews but had to with this one, I got the 4000 series and it’s absolutely gorgeous, and smooth in operation, can not wait to try it out, waiting for warmer weather in Upstate NY, and I plan on using it in SC Myrtle Beach in June. I will follow up it’s more pictures of my catch. For the price you can not beat it, very well packaged and prompt delivery.
Neil G. : Looks good so far
I haven’t had it out yet but initial impressions are: Very smooth action and the handle was very easy to switch for use on either side based on preference.
jean-joseph kalonji : Not good sometimes buying stuffs on line

Kirsten M. : Reliability
This reel is built like a tank. I am impressed. For the money you will not be dissapointed! Just as good as any 100 dollar name brand out there. Nothing on this reel is cheap. It is built sturdy, quiet, smooth, and attractive. Smoking deal, very happy!!!!!
John : Good reel helps great fishing
Great reel worked very good

Allison Mutek : Worth every single penny
This reel is perfect. I was a little hesitant at first because of the price being so low but after getting it I realized it had features that blew away most of the reels I spent double the money on. The drag is extremely smooth. The finish looks great. It handled very large catfish without a hiccup all day. I’d compare it to one of the penn battle fishing reels. As for the finish. It looks great. Not sure how it will hold up to saltwater so I plan on rinsing it off when I go salt.
Alexis : Decent for $29.00
I have the 4000. Needs a bigger handle.
david gover : very good product
Very well constructed fishing reel. good looking , and a breeze to use
