I got this reel as an upgrade from the abu combo I baught a few weeks back. I simply love this thing. Smooth in all regards, and now it's matched with my vendetta rod.
I would recommend this to a friend!

i bought this reel a year ago and put it on the Cabelas Fish Eagle Rod 7" medium action and let me tell you. This reel can handle fish. Its a tough spinning reel. I cast for northern pike and ive caught a 38inch pike on it, the drag on the size 40 is amazing and ive caught great Iowa bass on it. Get this reel if your looking for a spinning reel to handle larger fish. i put 40 ln power pro braid on it and it cast awesome

I bought this reel a year and a half ago. I have caught over 300 fish with this reel and countless bullreds in the range from 33 inches to 45 inches. It has the smoothest drag for a 70 dollar reel that is on The market. I have the orra sx and the only difference I can tell is I can cast a little further with it. I might have cleaned the reel 3 times since I bought it and it has not failed one time and I fish saltwater only. Garcia is the best on the market and I hope they keep up the good work.

I purchased this reel needing a reel to cast some of my lighter baits. I mounted the reel on a 7" Abu Garcia vendetta rod as this is one of my favorite rods to use. This made for an awesome looking rig, but the casting performance of this reel is terrible.The line tries to twist. I have tried several different types of line, even had the reel professionally spooled, but the result hasn't changed. I fish several times a month and as a loyal customer of Abu Garcia all of my rods & reels are proudly branded with their name. I still have my receipt but have thrown away all packaging to the reel. I wish I could just return it and buy another Pro Max instead.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PUZZLED and frustrated

I purchased both the Orra S 20 & 30 model. Overall, I like the reel but purchased them because my pro shop didn't have Pflueger spinning reels. Anyhow, I'm encountering an almost sanding feel upon retrieve of the reel. As if there was a little sand within the gearing. I also encounter an unusual bumping or tick sound, almost like if the bail is hitting something but it's not. Again, this only happens during the retrieve with a lure. It doesn't seem to happen under load. I've removed the spool and put back then it would stop but start again. Help!!!! I own 2 New Revo STX's, 1 SX and 12 Veritas Rods. All out fitted with Pflueger Patriarchs, your Revo's and Supreme, President spinning outfits. So far, the Veritas are my rods of choice, love the Revo's Baitcasters but lack confidence in the spinning reels.
