Okuma Epixor XT Spinning Fishing Reel - Lightweight Saltwater & Freshwater Reel for Bass, Trout, and Surf Fishing | Smooth Drag System, Durable Graphite Body

First thing to know is these are at least one size smaller than the name indicates. The 20 size is smaller than a Daiwa 1500. I bought it for crappie fishing knowing it was small and it's the perfect reel for panfish. It's darn smooth and the drag is consistently smooth. The body is sturdy and feels strong even at the reel foot which is key on these smaller reels. Line lay on mine was perfect. The oscillation is very slow so it works great with braid to reduce over wrapping on the spool and it makes for excellent casting. Slow gear ratio helps me with crappie. For $45 it's a winner.Bought the xt30 also now and it's the same. Awesome reel for the price. Super smooth and I really like how rigid the frame is while still being very light. I put 8lb stren magnathin on it on a 6'6" medium fast rod. Light enough to cast for crappie and plenty strong should the largemouth decide to bite. The technology is simply better than on the low priced small online manufacturers reels.
