Rated 4 out of 5Â by hazelqj Good purchase for the money
I've been using the 20D for about 6 months now. So far I have not experienced any problems. The line counter is easy to read and is accurate. I've caught many large hybrids and one medium size striper with this reel. The drag is smooth. Still though, it would be improved a little. My only annoyance is that sometimes you can't engage the line out alarm without giving an extra half crank of the handle. I like that the reel is flipped back into gear without physically flipping the switch.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by rsand65 You get what you pay for most of the time
One of the two reels seems to be working properly the other one has been giving me some difficulties in the way of not engaging and disengaging the gears properly I will attempt to fix myself, I fish alot and do not have time to return and wait for repairs. I will simply repurchase another brand from somewhere. This is a 55.00$ reel but still should give proper service brand new outta the box.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by trolerboy wore one out and replaced with a line counter
My original okuma reel saw alot of fish tug on it and wore out after many years of use. Replaced it with a new line counter. I wish it came with two handles, I prefer the double one over the single.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by drag Great investment
I was reluctant to purchase a line counter reel after reading some reviews on various brands, but I couldn't be happier with the quality of these Okuma reels. I troll fresh water for stripers. I am ordering a couple more right now. You won't be disappointed.

I own both Stratamaster and AccuDepth as well as a Sealine SG47. The Sealine costs a little more but it is by far the best of the bunch. The Stratamaster has 2 bearings while the AccuDepth has none... hard to imagine a reel with no bearing these days. I have some cheap $20 reel that comes with 4 bearings. I wish Daiwa had put a couple bearings in the AccuDepth. The Okuma reels are good while new... the drag is very powerful. But I have owned all the reels for about the same time and you can feel the wear in the drive gears. BTW I use all the reels for deep sea fishing.

daiwa reels are the bestAnswers

The smaller one 20 model is okay... I have done it but the larger ones don't seem to cast that well... or maybe because I have heavier line on mine. I use my reels mostly for deep sea "drop down" style with a 6-oz sinker.A:Â
no jigging and trolling only with this reel

Yes, this is a casting reel.Details:Â
this reel sounds like its a great reel but would a Bass Pro Shops Power Plus Trophy Class 7' Medium Heavy Trigger Rod work well with the smallest reel size for this model?Answers

it would for meA:Â
I use tht same pole but with the largest size reel and it works great.A:Â
I own 25 and 30 models of StrataMaster reels. The 30 model works great with a 7' MH rod. That's what I use for seabass, scup and bluefish fishing. I have used the reel for haddock and cod fishing. It's the most versatile model. The 25 model I only use on 6'6" med rod for scup.Answers

I was using the Penn Levelwinds and still think they are good reels. I lost one though and decided to replace it. Saw the Okuma and liked the way it worked better, so I took a chance. I like how you don't have to flip the lever like you do on the levelwinds. On the Okuma you can just crank the handle and lever engages. Takes a step out of catching the fish especially when the bite is light. With the Penn LW I have to flip the switch and then crank down. With the Okuma I just crank down. I'm using both reel now and I hook more fish with the Okuma. I fish for stripers and hybrids. I plan to buy a couple more of the Okumas.A:Â
I have 4 okuma strata master reels and have never had a problem with them. Can't compare because I don't own a penn.Details:Â
i bought this reel last friday. i went fishing today to try it out and the longest cast i got was about 60-70 feet...i know it will cast farther than that....this is my first baitcasting reel and im not sure whether i am setting it right or not...please tell me if there is something wrong so i can return it if there is....Answers

You just got the reel, it takes time to get used to the settings...you aren't getting distance out of it because the brake was probably too hard, but I'm sure if you loosen it you'll get a birds nest immediately. Just take your time.A:Â
These reels are not designed for long casting. The noise may be the clicker set in on position (small button on left side of reel that moves up and down) You can loosen the spool tention with the small round knob on right side of reel behind drag star. This will produce free spooling, loosen it very much and your line will freespool and tangle.Q:Â
