Okuma Coronado

[Rodman]

Hi Guys

I was browsing thought some of the old threads and came upon the article about okuma reeds.

My mate bought two of them

As I repair and service all reels the okuma reel needs to be serviced after evry beach trip and at 3 months if used in a boat. I redcommend that you do not wash these reels but give them a good wiping over with damp soapy towel them wipe them with just a damp towel to get any soap and salt scum off it.

The key to keeping these reels in good working order is to get them services regularly

ive had a coronado for about 5 years and never had a single problem with it but had an okuma epix last 9 months before stripping all the gears, yet i bought another epix and it has been great.... go figure

G-day,,, I never seen a coronado but I have purchased a okuma laser, theyre a bottom end spinning reel, mine is an 80 series and does weekly trip's to the beach, it cost $48 from big W and to date hasnt faulted, its pulled in a couple of rays that pulled like bloody trains and a good chopper in the broadwater, there's been a couple of 40 cm flatties and good breamies too, after each trip it gets a good dunking in the water tank and left in the sun to dry,,,, had no drama's as of yet...(touch wood) its about 6 mths old now.
