Buffdaddy54 148 Report post Posted January 31 I'm thinking of buying an Okuma Epixor and confused on sizing. I'm looking to get a 30 size reel but saw somewhere that with Okuma I should go up to 40 as that is equivalent to a Daiwa/Shimano 30. Is there any truth to this?

Bluebasser86 26,964 Report post Posted January 31 If you're talking about the new Expixor XT, go with the 30. I have that size and it's what you're going to want for bass. It's a great reel, love mine. I have it paired with a 6' 8" Okuma EVX spinning rod and use it for about everything. Caught one of my biggest 5 of year on it last year with a micro finesse jig on a goof off day fishing with my son and he also used it on another day last year to land a 6.63lb bass. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey There Bluebasser86, what do you have spooled on it,I have read that it does not lay braided line very well? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have 8lb Abrasx on mine. No idea why it wouldn't fish braid fine though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
