Okuma Ceymar Reel Review: Still Worth The Buy In 2024?

[@paulh7589]

It's a great reel. I just purchased the 4000 three months ago and so far it is wonderful.

[@okish02]

I have to say after using this extensively this season. A fantastic reel and work horse for the money . I use it on a 7 ft 2 tip medium / medium light rod . I done everything from ned rig to senkos to flukes etc. great drag and smooth reel .

[@rontruocchio5744]

i have this reel and it's beautiful. nice shinny black finish, excellent drag and nice working bail. handle feels great and the price point is spot on. i also own a diawa revros the same size and same price . the revros is just a smoother operating reel and feels like it's worth three times it's 50 bucks. the ceymar feels like it's worth the 50 bucks you paid for it once it's under load

[@humbugvideos]

Totally agree. Thanks for the informative reply!

[@BoringFisherman]

My personal spin rods all have the ceymar c-40 on them. I use them in fresh water, brackish, and saltwater. I have 4 of them. On various rods that I use for various things. I love these reels. I have never had to max out the drag either. I totally agree. Very good reel and a fantastic price for what you get. Thanks for the video.

[@Timoleon87]

I own 4 ceymar's (10, 25, 30 and 40) and they never fails. The 40 is the oldest and I use it for pike so pretty heavy lures.

[@AffinityRespawn]

caught a 30lb chinook with the c-30 on a trophy xl 600 MH

[@robertlipiec1975]

Awesome reel. My fav! And ive owned shimanos , Penn etc

[@ivioca]

Hi! Nice review. Could You tell me do You know anything about this reel: Okuma Ceymar XP Match CXTR-40M? I would like to use it for spinning.

[@simontimoney]

Great review..thank you .i just bought one

[@GreatKeny]

Before Ceymar, Okuma had the Trio series. That's my favorite reel.

[@kenboukater752]

Okuma is the BEST under rated reels going. My gf had a ceymar for 2 yrs and dunked the hell out of it in salt water. Lasted 1.5 yrs before I replaced the clutch pack. I had another for 3+ yrs (Avenger) I used in salt water but I rinsed mine unlike my girl.

[@humbugvideos]

Okuma makes some stellar low budget reels for sure

[@mikeguidotti217]

I got one Leonardo great reel fantastic vid thumbs up

[@elefantdude]

Awesome review! Looking to match a reel to an Okuma GSP UL Trout rod and was thinking a small Ceymar. What is the difference between the Okuma Ceymar and the Ceymar ODT reel?

[@humbugvideos]

I don’t know much about the OTD actually, wish I could give you more info on that! I would swing into your local tackle shop and check out the Ceymar and Shimano Sedona. Whichever one feels best in your hand I’d go with. Hope this helps👍🏽

[@mildmanneredmercifulmouse1839]

Thanks mate, cheers from Australia.

[@humbugvideos]

Australia, that's awesome! Thanks for the reply

[@dennisnicholson952]

I see on Amazon, that a Tactical Green version is available. Are you aware of it and, if so, what are your thoughts?

[@humbugvideos]

I haven't heard of that one, I'll have to do some research!

[@WhiteGhost21]

really like my c40.. have already caught monster spanish mackerel with it and handled them like a champ.

[@humbugvideos]

Yup, the drags are awesome on these. Thanks for the reply!

[@arunsikand6558]

Good review

[@okish02]

Just got the c-30 looks little small. You think it’s good for medium action rod for bass application?

[@humbugvideos]

In my honest opinion I think people underestimate what a small reel can do for bass fishing. U will be fine!

[@okish02]

@@humbugvideos Ok just got it out with 10 lb braid on a kastking peregree rod . Casts very well , surprisingly smooth. IIm happy with it . Just got the c-10 as well .

[@juliadyrifandy2929]

Ceymar 30 or avenger 30? Can u sugest best reel? Look same Spec

[@humbugvideos]

Juliady Rifandy I think the Ceymar is a better built reel, however the bite and run feature on the Avenger ABF is awesome. I own 2 of each

[@juliadyrifandy2929]

@@humbugvideos oh realy. Thanks advice. I have one ceymar 10. But i want to big reel too. I want stradic but to expensive ..ceymar rm145 but stradic rm550 and above.. -from malaysia.

[@redneckracer3517]

Ceymar

[@Harry-kr4jq]

I purchased a Ceymar 30, have not put any line on it yet. What would be a good rod to use with it? As I was not aware of the size of the reel until I received it. Will try for brook trout next cottage season. Okuma rod, or something different? Thanx in advance.

[@humbugvideos]

For trout, check this one out! I will be making a buyers guide to trout rods soon as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmmvf6uud6qdfJo

6’6” medium fast…best combo you’ll ever have.

i’m sold, gonna give the C40 a try

[@humbugvideos]

It’s great! If you use the link in my description, it helps me out as well✌🏽

[@alexmmh4051]

Look so little... For pike for exemple is good or is to small?

[@humbugvideos]

This is the 30 size. For Pike and other large gamefish you go up to the 40 or bigger!

[@jonathonborges8023]

Looking at ceymar c30 or daiwa mq lt 2500

[@humbugvideos]

Both are great choices, but I’d swing into a local shop and just feel both of them to see which fits your style better👍🏽

[@jonathonborges2914]

The daiwa is $220 vs the okuma being $50. So the daiwa is bettter?

[@humbugvideos]

@@jonathonborges2914 Overall I think yes, but some people don’t like the feel of Diawas. I would also look at the Shimano Nasci too

[@brandonmartinez-tz8ns]

What you think of the okuma c2000

[@humbugvideos]

C2000? Whats the name of the reel?

[@fishing_in_blood]

how many meter line u spool on it...and what diameter line u spool ?

[@humbugvideos]

All depends on the fish species and how your targeting it! What are you targeting with it

[@fishing_in_blood]

@@humbugvideos i want to know about 0.28 mm diameter capacity

[@humbugvideos]

@@fishing_in_blood I’d check the website, they have all the specs on there
