Okumas new mini bait feeders

[greenbackhunter]

Great reels. Mine showed up yesterday. Amazingly smooth. The baitfeeder is slick, and kicks off smoothly when you start to reel.

Saw these in Reed's catalog that came a couple weeks ago and was immediately interested. I have a 30 size Okuma baitfeeder I bought years ago and use it a lot. The overall size is quite big for a 30 size reel though and was wondering if these "mini" ones seem larger than say a President 20 or 25?

Put beside my Sahara 500 , the 500 okuma is just a bit smaller.

Is the 500 the smallest bait feeder that Okuma makes? Which model is the black reel shown?

Yes.  The box behind the reel says 500.

Thanks, that's the Ceymar model in the pic. That's the one I'm thinking of getting!

Make sure the model number is the cbf-500 or 1000. They have an almost identical reel that’s not a baitfeeder.

Thanks, I'll make note of that!!
