I got this reel to replace an old Shimano for trout fishing. The Shimano finally gave out after about a decade of use, and I decided to give Okuma a try since I’ve been pretty satisfied with one of their of their baitfeeders that I recently purchased for catfish, and this reel is no different.The Ceymar reels run a little smaller than some other brands, so I got a slightly larger size and it suits my purposes well. It’s lightweight, the bail arm doesn’t click down mid-cast, and the retrieve is pretty smooth. The drag system is responsive enough that even a small turn will switch you from peeling drag to retrieving, even while you have a fish on.That said, the reel doesn’t seem like it will last nearly as long as a higher end product. I’m partial to Shimano reels for their durability, but they also come with a price tag to match. For the cost of this reel, I have to say that Okuma has surprised me for a company that has had a spotty reputation in the past. I’m optimistic that with semi-regular maintenance I’ll be able to get at least a few years out of this product, and if I do, I might just be a new Okuma convert.If you’re looking to make an upgrade from that Walmart combo that you learned to fish on, I would think twice before shelling out the money for one of the more major brands and give these guys a shot! At this price point, even an experienced angler will be impressed with the quality you’ll get for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best reel you can get for 40 dollars.
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024
Color: Black/RedSize: C-10, 110yd-4LBPattern Name: ReelsVerified Purchase
I've got 4 Ceymar reels. Everything about them is awesome. The foam thumb paddle is very comfortable and the reel is very sturdy. Some other reels have a little bit of play between the stem and the handle, but the Ceymar has minimal wobble and the bearings are smooth. I have never had a problem with my Ceymar reels. Another thing that is convenient for switching between some of my reels is that the Ceymar and Avenger reel models have interchangeable spools, and this has been convenient for switching just my line and not the entire reel when I'm ice fishing.

TL;DR: This reel is the best reel you can get for under 50 dollars, in any size. It is the most comfortable reel I have fished.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Reel
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2023
Color: Black/RedSize: C-30, 110yd-10LBPattern Name: ReelsVerified Purchase
This reel is an absolute gem, especially when you consider the price. I've got a bunch of spinning reels to stack this against, and let me tell you, it holds its own just as well as ones that cost twice as much. Now, there's just this one teeny-tiny thing - the red color scheme. I love it. Fish probably couldn't care less about colors, but I'm all about those stylish rod and reel combos. Seriously though, this reel is a jackpot of value. You'll save some serious bucks by steering clear of the mainstream options.

So, picture this: I'm moving on up from a beginner's spin caster combo to my first "real" reel. I wanted something that screams reliability and solidity, and the Ceymar didn't let me down. From the moment I cast it, I felt like a pro. The drag? Oh, it works like a charm. Okay, so yes, there was this tiny hiccup when it tangled up on my first go (probably a bit too much line, my bad). But since then? Smooth sailing, my friend. I've taken it out for some bank and boat fishing, and let me tell you, it casts like a dream. I even gave it a little dip in freshwater a couple of times – and it still spins and reels like it's covered in butter. Now, if I really had to find something to nitpick about, it'd be that the handle knob can sometimes loosen a smidge. But come on, that's like finding a sprinkle in a scoop of ice cream – it doesn't even count. Overall, I'm beyond pleased with this reel!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great reel, but not a Penn Fierce 2 killer
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2017
Color: Black/RedSize: C-55, 240yd-15LBPattern Name: ReelsVerified Purchase
Just spent the past 2 weeks fishing in Nags Head, NC and the Chesapeake Bay in MD and this reel did a very good job. Out of the box, the reel was light, much smoother than my Penn Fierce 2 and Penn Battle 2, looked great, and overall just as impressive as advertised . This was mostly paired with a Fiblink 2 piece 10 foot surf rod (Available on Amazon, great rod for the money) and spooled with 25 lb Kast King braid. Even though this was a "surf setup," I mostly ended up pier fishing, and because both the rod and reel were so light, it was very comfortable to fish with. I caught over 50 pan sized spot, croaker, white perch, striper, and shad and overall the reel performed admirably.

Now for the flaws-
The 5.0 to 1 gear ratio is slower than comparable reels of this size- with the Penn Fierce 2 being a 5.6:1 and Kast King Sharky 2 being at 5.2:1 for their 5000 size models. It was definitely noticeable when retrieving 50-75 yards of line as it did become tiring pulling in all those fish when the bite got hot.
If it were just this, I would have given a 5 star review considering the price, however the main thing I didn't like was the reel foot. I noticed considerable flexing when paired to several different rods. It wasn't noticeable when reeling in the smaller fish, but I hooked into a skate and when fighting it the flex was very evident. The drag performed great, and the reel had enough power to muscle the skate in close enough to the pier to cut my line, but all of the flexing was a turnoff. I have hooked into skates many times before with reels of lesser quality and I don't remember the flex being so noticeable.

Overall, I do enjoy using this reel and would give it 5 stars for catching any medium to smaller species of fish. An all aluminum body ( or at least a more solid reel foot) and faster gear ratio would make this an absolute stud that would rival the likes of the Penn Fierce 2 (which IMO, is currently a better purchase for the extra $15- $20). It's probably a tie when compared to the Kast King Sharky 2 as far as smoothness, construction, and price.

The reel is very smooth and well built. Love the matte dark green finish on it. The foam handles will come in handy during those colder wet days. If you're purchasing this reel, please look at the picture attached. The reel's spool is not as wide as shown in the amazon photo. Not sure which model that is but it's definitely bigger.
