Abu Garcia Orra2 Sx Combo

Featured Replies

Grabbed one of these on Amazon for $126 shipped. Have seen mixed reviews on this reel on here, but great reviews on BP. Anyone have any feedback on this reel?

I have an Orra inshore reel, basically the same thing, I bought for my Florida vacation and it's an impressive reel, alot like my Citica Es. The 1st Gen Orra I believe are the ones that received shoddy reviews.

I do not know what was changed from original to mod 2.  I bought the orig Orra SX baitcaster combo at Dicks about a year and a half ago for, I believe, $120.  I have found that for the price, it was a good, if not great, purchase.

 

Reel:  Functionally, it is still pretty close to 10/10.  Have had absolutely zero problems with it. Cosmetically, it shows its age; the paint on the plastic scratches and rubs off pretty quickly.  But setting it up, dialing it in, and casting with it have been very good.

Rod: It is a very good 7'MH rod.  Sensitive and strong.  I did have an issue with the second eye from the tip coming off.  I called AG, thinking that their 2-year rod warranty would apply.  Unfortunately, they have a 1-year warranty on combos (like reels.)  They did offer me a discount on a Veritas 2.0 ($68 shipped) for my troubles.   They didn't want the Orra back, so I reglued the eye myself and it is 'good as new'. 

Overall, I'm pretty happy with it.

I have 2 orras. The orra 2 sx-L and the orra winch. Both so far so good. I don't beat the crap out of them, but they get used. Smooth, good casting, aluminum frame. I like
