    I bought a blue Nite stick after seeing you using them and seeing how inexpensive they were. I am impressed with it so far!

    These are very decent reels for big cat, they are pretty much a clone of the old Shakespeare Tidewater series or more precisely the old Shakespeare SKP 30 with the polymer frame. I have several Okumas as well as several old Tidewater 30Ls and 30LA s that I started using back in the early 80s when I got hooked on monster cat fishing long before catfishing was cool and are still being used today, some after over 30 years of catching big cats up to 50+ pounds.

    The Okuma Classics are amazing reels for the money. Also, the Shakespeare ATS is fantastic and in the same price range. Just slightly above those are the Ming Yang 60 series and the KastKing Rover. I own multiples of all these and recommend them with no hesitation.

      use the Shakespeare ATS15's daily for Saltwater bull redfish, sheepshead, black drum, and seatrout. Tried the Okuma's.....oh so crappy! Sent them back. dog on anti-reverse would let the handle skip backwards all the time under load.

    Do you have videos explaining how you have the reel set up. Meaning in terms of line used and drag settings you may leave it on and what not to keep bird nest from happening.

    • @ChattCats
      @ChattCats  8 років тому

      +Young Nutrition I typically use 50 lb monofilament line. I keep the drag pretty tight. It takes a lot to break 50 lb line. Watch this video here to see how to use a baitcaster/levelwind reel: ua-cam.com/video/ZK4HWQ46hHU/v-deo.html

  • @piaoliang5467
    @piaoliang5467 7 років тому

    Well it is one thing to say this reel is ok and will catch fish. But it is simply not true that this reel is 'top quality'. What about daiwa shrapnel then? Or shimano calcutta? Are they in same class? Also okuma is NOT a top brand. Do not kid yourself. Okuma is not even in top 5 brands, and is debatable if its in top 10. To give u a hint, that clicking sound you hear when u reel is your antireverse resth clicking, because this reel doesnt have an antireverse bearing- a feature present even on cheap ebay reels these days. I agree with u than nobody needs expensive reels to catch fish, but just dont talk about top quality.
