Your gonna make my wife kill me! She says I already have enough ice ice fishing, and in a way, shes not wrong! Lol. These look like some pretty sweet reels and I'm very tempted to pick a few up! Great video man!

[@DWSOutdoors]

MetalManiac\m/ \m/ worth the time in the dog house I’d say 👊🏼😂

[@metalmaniacmm2718]

It's funny you should say that. My ice shack is named "The Dog House". 😂

[@trentwilder5354]

Tell her they are for open water and ice fishing. I just got a ceymar baitfeeder 1000 and an avenger 1000. They will both be on my 7' 6" medium light rods for walleye, perch, and crappie

[@carsnpyro3484]

This reel did not disappoint me!!! Caught my personal black crappie this year with the avenger abf-1000 drag is so smooth!!! I set my drag last night pretty loose and that big slab just took it, all of sudden my drag just started going. I’m so glad I got the okuma avenger abf 1000

[@davemi3213]

Thanks for showing okuma abf1000 I do a lot of creek fishing

[@teamcramerfishing8441]

I've been using the 2000 version this open water season, and I've been pretty impressed with it for the price. I've caught some nice fish and for a small reel it handled them like a champ. I think I'm going to convert it over to 6 lb and use it as a dead stick rod for the hardwater season.

[@DWSOutdoors]

I had a 4000 last year for big fish and it worked great but doesn’t fit in the rod case to well 😂

[@teamcramerfishing8441]

@@DWSOutdoors Yeah, that's pretty big for ice fishing :) I think the 1000 will be perfect.

[@DWSOutdoors]

Team Cramer Fishing it worked good for big Walleye and Northern

[@DWSOutdoors]

Team Cramer Fishing but these 1000s should be good

[@kalebgrieve1729]

I've found Okuma to be one of the few manufacturers to use a reel grease that is still subtle at -20 celcius temps.

[@edbrown3047]

I have the okuma avenger 4000 series i use for open water channel catfish. I love those reels for the money

[@iCoKe09]

Okuma makes quality stuff.. i use the okuma ceymar c10s for ice fishing awesome little lightweight reel!

[@DWSOutdoors]

I tried them but I’m addicted to my Abu Revo S10s

[@garybond3663]

Nice review. Okuma is sweet.

[@chrisbarber1020]

Okuma makes some sweet open face reels affordable too

[@jessewhite3248]

i just picked up a new rod and reel combo for panfish spoons!!!

[@DWSOutdoors]

Oh boy the addiction starts!👊🏼😎🎣

[@jessewhite3248]

@@DWSOutdoors Heck yeah!!!

[@roberttinkham3843]

Looks like a nice reel!

[@Normie-fu1fz]

Great setup 👍 I was running the Okuma abf’s last year with my Ifish pros... sweet sweet sweet baitrunners✌️

[@DWSOutdoors]

I am looking forward to it! Did you have the 2500s?

[@Normie-fu1fz]

Abf 20... I believe yours are the newer version... nice reels I may have to upgrade 😜

[@Normie-fu1fz]

The only issue with these reels is that Okuma decided not to produce them in 2 or 3 K size... certainly reduces your options 🤷‍♂️

[@DWSOutdoors]

Normie 4210 they made these small ones specifically for ice fishing

[@adhiplayer9219]

Reel andalan itu broo👍👍👍

[@Fishing2day]

Awsome video!!!

[@granthemze1026]

Size 500 and 1000 have same drag capacity. The 1000 just has bigger spool size.

[@DWSOutdoors]

Less kinks in a bigger spool 👊🏼😎

[@jimhabelman5110]

I've enjoyed a couple of the older Okuma ABF reels. The newer Avenger comes with a $10 price increase, hopefully there's some improvement to a very good quality reel. This year I'm going to team one up with a Power Noodle rod for everything from bluegills to walleye. What do the experts think?

[@DWSOutdoors]

Power noodle and walleye to me don’t go together but that’s all up to you 👊🏼😂 but on a side note I have caught plenty of giants on my Bullwhip 🤔

[@earladams8012]

Have you ever used the jawjacker if so what are your thoughts about it

[@DWSOutdoors]

I have but I don’t like the lack of the interaction of setting the hook and you miss a lot of crappie and perch with it

[@jeremybrisbois4504]

Kinda funny I cut down an old 2 piece rod and it looks damm close to that rod clamp and all ..... its 44 inches and I use it for jigging pike and bass

[@DWSOutdoors]

I have an ultralight I want to do that with! Innovation is the best on the ice!👊🏼🎣

[@jeremybrisbois4504]

All I did was pulled out the top cut about a 3 inch piece were they slide together then left about a half inch on the handle side glued It I want to redo the outside and wrap it to help with glue chipping

[@DWSOutdoors]

jeremy Brisbois epoxy is your friend

[@gugfeleder2842]

👍

[@Georgebd2]

Price ?

[@DWSOutdoors]

George Danielewicz $54 I listed it in the top of the description now 👊🏼😎🎣 not cheap but I like my other one and it makes more sense to have them this size

[@Georgebd2]

Cheaper than the Pflueger presidential I currently use

[@Georgebd2]

And much cheaper than some of the fancy reelz on the market now specifically made for ice fishing like the Black Betty Etc

[@DWSOutdoors]

All FACTS I seem to forget lol about half the price of my Revo S10s lol

[@fishingwithhoffman7365]

I need a reel for my Vulcan Rod by tuned up custom rods 1000 but its for jigging so i probably dont need a bait runner huh? For ice fishing

[@DWSOutdoors]

This is a good multi-purpose real

[@DWSOutdoors]

You can use this reel and a Vulcan rod for your IfishPro’s

[@fishingwithhoffman7365]

@@DWSOutdoors i am not sure what a ifish pro is. But i need to choose a line that will work with it for big muskys and walleyes

[@michaelprevost1229]

How much were the reels? Nice review

[@DWSOutdoors]

About this much I believe www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z5DPNB4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B07Z5DPNB4&linkCode=as2&tag=dwsdave31-20&linkId=93cbeb338296cdfa2fcc7cbdc0a31750
