Rated 1 out of 5Â by kootiephish33 Defective reel
I wish I could use my new OceanMaster OM20HA reel. It's a great reel except, I can't take it apart the side plate will not rotate to come off. I returned the reel to BPS. But the reel they had in stock plus the display model had the same problem. I think there's a defect from the manufacture. I hope they can get the problem solved. I really like this reel.

My new reel was promoted as a casting reel. NOT
It won't case without the line snarling. It even snarls when I am just letting out line.
Not a happy camper

Rated 5 out of 5Â by rascal3 great reel!
I tried braided line first. was not quite what I wanted. then I went to a 14lb. mono and that did the trick for me. the reel seemed a little heavy at first, but after casting it a while I forgot about it and kept on chunching! this is one solid reel!

I recently purchased this reel. I fish in the Caribbean Sea as I am in the military and stationed in that area. I mainly fish for Jacks and Snook. What would be a better buy? I know someone has already posted about rods, but in comparison(never really used a low-profile baitcaster) which rod would be better? The Browning® Fishing Hi Power Trigger Rod or The Bass Pro Shops® 2011 Bionic Blade™ XPS® Trigger Rods. The Browning is on sale for $59.98. Just looking for opinions. Thanks in advance.Images for this Question

The black cover that is on the left side is broken. That covers up the reel wind. And I am afraid of loosing it and or parts. I can't find a parts list. Or get it apart to grease/oil. My reason is when you cast out it makes a noise as it is dry. I have used reel magic. helps but not fixing it.Answers

The reel has a one year limited warranty! If something goes wrong with the reel, and if it was a defective part bass pro will either fix it or replace it! They have a very good warranty service!Answers

How easy is the centrifugal,magnetic brake system, to set? Does this system work better than either one individual systems by itself?Answers
Top 500 Contributor
A:Â
its a 2 step operation you would have to st both so its not more difficult just takes longer to find the proper setting I like to have only centrifugal but that's just meA:Â
it has a spool pressure on the handle side and a magnet spool brake on the opposite side for slowing it down before it hits the water. if you ajust both sides just right then u can cast it a mile and never get a rats nest.Answers

The level wind stays stationary when you cast! As to which is better, move when you cast or not, is up to your preferences. Once you have mastered a baitcasting reel, I don't think it makes much of a difference! Maybe a little, but for the few extra yards you may gain doesn't make much of a difference unless the only thing you want is distance. I'd ratter have accuracy over distance! Hope this helps?Tight lines, and be safe!

The levelwind mechanism should move from side to side when retrieving your lure.Details:Â
We bought the OceanMaster Casting Reel OM20HA. There were no instructions or guidelines in the box when we received the reel. My husband is wanting to understand how to make a change in the 6-disc drag system in case we need to do that. He would really like to have a breakdown on how to do that and how to take this apart.Answers

A:Â
I think you can go on their website and see if they have schematics but it souldn;t be too hard just tacke the handle off and open the side plate just remember to lay down every part in sequence as you take it off so that you will be able to put it back together again
A:Â
See poskwally's response regarding how to adjust the drag system. To obtain the instructions and schematic for your reel, please call 1-800-227-7776 and provide the model number. I'm sorry the instructions were not in the box.
A:Â
I don't have this reel but I am looking into buying one or maybe the model just below this one. But I do know that the drag setting on baitcast reels are pretty much all the same. Just turn the star adjustment just inside the handle to tighten and loosen the drag. There is no need to take the reel apart to adjust the drag. When you get line on the reel try to pull some line out to see how the drag is set. Then tighten or loosen the star to set it at your desired starting point. If you need to change it on the fly, tightening will give you more drag pressure and loosening will give you less drag pressure. I wouldn't take the reel apart unless you needed to give it a good cleaning and lubrication.Details:Â
Will this reel do well handling 10oz swimbaits?Answers
A:Â
I don't think so. 10oz might be too heavy for this reel. In my experience, I have used up to 3oz jigs and large swimbaits casting to strippers with 12lb test line. Once hooked up (my largest stripper using this setup was about 22lbs) this reel didn't seem to crack-a-sweat (I did), but it was a good test. I'll try heavier swimbaits this spring to try and get you a better answer, but I think 10oz might be too heavy.A:Â
It Will handle them ok but personally I would go with something a little beefier1 of 1
