I have one on a G. Loomis and one on my KVD tour crankin rod... works great on bothAnswers

A:
Yeah it casts far.... depends on your ability level with a baitcaster... I love the reel...
Top 100 Contributor
A:
Yes, well that is yes in that it can. It really depends more on the rod, line, lure and skill of the caster. If you are looking for a reel that is going to provide some additional casting distance over other standard reels I would recommend looking at a few of the new Ardent reels. They have a new feature that lets the reel guide move when the spool moves during drag, and that keeps bends out of the line and should in theory let you cast a little smoother/farther.Details:
I don't see a left hand version of the high speed version. Is this even made? If not will it be a future product?Answers
A:
Unfortunately, there is not an Orra High Speed with left hand retrieve. Also, we do not have information on future stock availability for this item. Thank you!Details:
I am on a limited budget and recently purchased the Garcia Silver Max, I was given a $100 gift card was thinking about buying the Garcia Orra SX. I am an average bass fisherman, will I noticed a difference btwn the 2. I could buy 2 more Silvers for the price of the OrraAnswers

A:
Depends.... I love the Orra reel... it is a Great pitchin reel and I just bought a second one for a cranking rod... works great... I would say if you really need two reels the go for the silvers.... but if you want to upgrade go for the Orra.... there is a differanceDetails:

A:
I have had my first Orra for a year and a half now and it still works flawlessly... my second Orra is a month old and seems to be doing just great.... I fish for bass and do alot of it... not sure what would happen if it was used for bigger fishDetails:
i was planning to pair this with a 7' heavy abu garcia verdict for topwater frog fishing and for pitching and flipping jigs but i am wondering which reel would be better for that application. revo sx or orra sx?Answers
A:
Orra would be a better reel it is amazing for short and long pitches I use it a lot for pitching and top water I also have that rodDetails:
Do you engage all the brakes for everyday use....only the pitch brakes...only the brakes not marked "pitch"? The reel didn't come with a manual and the You Tube Abu Garcia videos on the subject don't help at all.Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
When I am pitchin tubes or worms I engage the three marked pitch and it works great, if I need to change and do some casting I take them off... it is a great reel for pitchin.... I have it loaded with 17lb. P-Line Flurocarbon.... works GreatA:
i personally keep mine on pitch all the time as far as i can tell from using it it dosent seem to hinder its casting ability.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
I used the other brake, I use one of two depending on the wind conditions.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
You dont need to engage the non-pitch blocks. They are spring loaded and will automatically come out and apply friction at high RPMs then retract once the RPMs drop. The only time you would want to turn on the pitch blocks is if you are pitching/flipping or casting in strong wind. Otherwise, just leave everything alone and they will do what they are designed to.Answers
A:
they are steel
A:
The bearings in this reel are made of Stainless Steel. Thank you!Answers

A:
I used 17lb. P-Line Fluro on mine... I use it on my pitching rod it it is greatA:
12 pound p-lineA:
I would recomend 10-12 lb test. The reel handles ok in my oppinion anything above 12.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
10 or 12 lb Excel is good for light line techniques like jerking or cranking. 14 for medium topwater, worming and jigging. For heavy stuff 17 or 20 fluro and 50 or 65 lb braid for frogging or slop fishing. So choosing one line that will do it all is almost impossible now a days with all the lures we use.A:
I use 12lb seaguar fluorocarbon but it really depends on the type of fishing you do. I think 12lb is a good all around pound test rating and I like no stretch.Answers

A:
You can fine tune the control for your weater conditions and it works gret... I use it on my pitching rod and I get better distance than the 200 dollar reels I have.A:
The breaking is excellent! It has a centrifugal break to help control the spool RPM at the beginning of a cast, but you will still need to dial in the spool tensioner and have an educated thumb to control the end of the cast. This reel very rarely backlashes on me, and when it does, it's usually the result of my own error in not dialing in the tensioner after changing baits.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
This reel cast great is has 6 breaking pins that can be adjusted for casting conditions. That should work well for you if you've used casting reels before. Great reel I'm buying more if I need to in the future.A:
casts great into stiff wind throwing a crank, never backlashed
