I wonder who makes this reel for Offshore Angler? I have several Offshore Angler graphite surf rods that I’ve used for almost 30 years. They are outstanding in every way. In the past I’ve had a few Offshore Angler Conventional reels that were quite nice. On this reel there must be some bearings in the handle and the line roller in order to have a total of 8. I would not like this reel because it has no AR override switch. I just don’t’ t want a spinning reel that doesn’t have that switch. The drag setup is amazing. Glad to get a chance to see this reel. Thanks Dennis!
I've got their Catmaxx cmx80 spinning reel and it to is a very nice quality reel. I believe it is made by a private contractor in Taiwan or possibly China I don't think any of the big names build Basspro's Catmaxx or Offshore Angler equipment despite rumors about Okuma ECT.
@@Yelladog78 I know more about Offshore Angler surf rods than their reels. I do know the two gold conventional reels I got years ago were outstanding. That was before the scourge of all these China reels.
You're a life saver. I was battling with the axle, trying to unscrew it somehow. Thank you 😊 mine get stuck when the axle descends all the way down when rotating . I'm trying to fix it now. Any thoughts? Thank you
Is the reel getting stuck when the spool is on, but operating freely when the spool is removed? If that is the case, you need spool shim washers to be added on top of the click ratchet
@@2ndChanceTackle it gets stuck when it reach the bottom of the axle when rotating, with or without the spool. It's a tightline 3000 spinning reel. 🙃🙂🤔
The only other thing would be internal. You need to. check to make sure the crosswind block is seated over the stud not he crorsswind gear. If it is not in the slot, it will get trapped. Also check to make sure the slot in the block is not broken - Dennis
They are well made reels. I have one of these and 2 of a similar model in every way but the name. They are well made and the internals are better quality than modern Penn spinning reels. Harder alloy. I got mine for free because they were broken customer returns. They grease they use is really bad and becomes hard in no time. The downside is of course no repair parts available at least to the best of my knowledge.
Armando, the conventional reels I got from them years ago were very fine. Offshore Angler has used that Sea Lion brand name for many years. Of course I like their graphite surf rods the most. You told me about getting those reels when they had been thrown away.
Are my eyes deceiving me? Is there a new addition to our bench? Looks great.
Yes - I have changed out the board. Thanks for noticing - Dennis. PS the old board is still here. It is on my wall of fame
Hi Dennis great job on the video I can't tell you how many times I have looked at this combo in bass pro shops thanks
These are decent combos - You should try one out - Dennis
Great video. Thanks
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the note and for watching - Dennis

I am not sure. I would like to know if anyone can add more on the source of manufacture, please do so. Thank you - Dennis
Screw that switch ! The reason they didn't put it on is because it's the single biggest problem w the anti reverse.

Actually you can buy repair parts through their repair center in Missouri

I liked what I saw. These reels are not cheap and cost about the same as a Penn Battle. They are nice quality. Thank Armando - Dennis
Good to know. Thanks for the additional information - Dennis
What is the reel made of iam not sure what it is made of thanks
It has the basic graphite case
All bass pro spinning reels have crazy max drag they sell a 50$ spinning reel with a graphite body that has like 44 lbs of drag lol
Thanks for the info. Yes - they are well built reels - Dennis
I use my roommates toothbrush 😁😁😁
:)
Dennis I sent the wrong schematic for that reel! Very sorry.
Don't be sorry - I figured it out! Thanks for sharing it - Dennis
