evilcatfish Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Anybody industry people here gotten a chance to handle/fish the new Okuma Citrix or Komodo in their higher capacity form? I was reading up on them a bit and they look pretty cool, plus I already have a regular Citrix and Helios which both work well. Reason I'm asking is because I had been looking at getting a new Lexa but thought the Okumas may be worth waiting for (September availability I believe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Addict Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 The Lexa is such an awesome reel out of the box and you can get them off ebay for 145$ nib delivered. I have original calcutta, 2 te 400's, a pluton and my lexa. The lexa is by far my favorite reel right now, I have caught giant stripers, pike and decent lm with ease. It also cast sofa king far. Just my .02$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Ramen Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I love my Okuma Guide Series rods but I'm a bit iffy on their reels (the last one I owned was a Serrano). I have not used the latest versions but the ones I have used in the past have been feature-rich but not quite up to the production quality of a Shimano or Daiwa. Until they prove they can manufacture to the same tolerances, I personally plan to avoid them. The Lexa 300 is such a smokin' deal at a buck fifty shipped that I just don't understand why anyone would take a chance with any other reel in that price range. my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbreakable_bassin Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Lexa all the way, honestly thinking of selling my 400 TE to just buy another lexa and a nice bait lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Ramen Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Where can you find that reel for $150? Got to get my brother a reel... $150 shipped (or less) on ebay, all day long. Power handle version is another ten bucks or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
