What size reel should I get for my 10 ft okuma longitude rod?

Best would be the Avenger ABF65, the 90 would be too large, 50 too small. 65 should balance nicely and unless you need a lot of line ( 590 m of 20 lb for the 90 vs 320 for the 65) the 65 seems your best choice.

The 90 takes 440 M of 25lb and 330 of 30lb. Seems like a lot to me for a 20lb (max) fish but everyone has their own preference, we are fishermen after all. I might consider braid instead of mono and stick with the 65 if I wanted higher lb test. Mine came w/ 2 spools and you could load up both with different lines. Good luck.

You need to decide what breaking strain of line you are using, what kind of fishing, and what your budget is. Let me know and I will try and help you. :)

My rod was 7ft. / you can use up to 30lb test with good results ,if you will be mostly fishing for bass in open water , I would suggest 14lb test . hope this helps you , God Bless

DON'T KNOW too far away from ocean. I would get the biggest reel I could get with large line capasity

I have the 7 ft and haven't used it for anything close to that big. My guess would be if your reel is up to the task I think the pole would work for thst

I have the spinning rod, use it with a 4000 sustain for light salt water. Great rod for the size.

Amazon often is missing critical information like line capacity/size for fishing reels. Best to just surf over to the manufacturer website for quick answers. In this case: http://www.daiwa.com/reel/detail.aspx?id=636 (valid 7/15/15)

With the advancement in technology -10lbs upto 15lbs with .25mm to.30mm can be used on size 30 reel

The 30 is what I would call a standard sized bass fishing reel so I'd say a 20 would be perfect for ultra light applications.

200 yards of 10lb test line. This is not real large of a reel. It's good for bass, large catfish, stripers, drum, blues and spanish mackeral. It could also be used for surf fishing or pier fishing. If your catching fish from 5 to 12 lbs this is perfect size. But buy a better reel like the Penn Pursuit 4000.

Well then you WAY overpaid. The Okuma quality to price ratio is phenomenal. Figuring out which reel is which is a pain in the posterior, but a few minutes on the Okumafishing.com website straightens it out. The 170/50 is actually the SLV-10/11 not a the SLV-9/10. You learn this through process of elimination. The Okuma site lists the SLV-10/11 as taking 520 yards of #30 backing.

I purchased a pflueger and a diawa open face reel for each of my fishing rods. Both were around $60 apiece. My advice is buy a compact reel that is of good quality.

Get a light, freshwater reel. The Shimano FX Spinning Reel looks like a good affordable option, but I can't say from personal experience. Shimano FX1000FB Spinning Reel - 8 lb./240 yds

I have had numerous reels in my lifetime and the one I put with my Rod was an Avenger ABF30 made by Okuma (okuma Avenger ABF30). I can assure you whoever you are buying this for will be extremely pleased with this combination.

I just measured my "Okuma's Nomad Inshore Saltwater Multi Action Travel Rods-NTi-S-703ML-M (Blue/Black, 7-Feet)" 3 of the sections are 29 1/2 inches and the base were the reel attaches is 30 inches... Hope that helps.. Daryl

You sound like you're new at this. Fishing is like life. How serious are you? Compared to monofilament line; fluoro is stiff and has a lot of memory, along with its invisibility. I wouldn't try to throw the best 12# size fluoro on a normal sized 40 spinning reel. Instead, stick with a good softer mono, like Berkley Trilene XL 12#, and use a fluoro leader.

May be a bit large for an ultralight rig. I did not have good luck with this reel. never got it to cast right. Continually back lashed. I cahnged the weight of line and made all the adjudtments I could. Took it apart and cleaned it, although it was new. Nothing worked. I would recommend a Diawa Laguna. I have four of them and they are great and would work perfect on an ultra light rig.

I own two trio 40's. They are relatively small for size 40 reels. A size 30 or even a 20 though would be better for 8lb line.
