OKUMA EPIXOR EB BAIT FEEDER REEL
Product Description
The Okuma Epixor “EB” baitfeeder tilt is a initial high-performance refinement spinning tilt with a attract stuff oneself system. It is a singular mix of a contest class spinning tilt as well as Okuma’s law live line attract stuff oneself system. The live attract stuff oneself complement disengages a bobbin to concede a attract to run openly by flipping up a baitfeeder lever. The tragedy of a giveaway bobbin can be practiced with a back adjustment, that looks as well as functions similar to a back drag. The attract stuff oneself complement allows a fish to collect up a attract as well as run but feeling a draw towards of a reel. When we have been ready to set a hook, we flip down a baitfeeder push to rivet a drag, as well as a required front draw towards takes over. Like a customary Epixor spinning reels, a Epixor EB facilities an ultra-smooth movement with 9 immaculate steel round orientation as well as a one-way purchase bearing. The quick-set anti-reverse complement guarantees rock-solid offshoot sets as well as eliminates hoop play. The aluminum hoop arm as well as soft, gentle rubber hoop have a Epixor EB is undiluted for any uninformed H2O or inshore angling.

I purchased two Epixor spinning reels, an EB-50 and an EB-65, about 5 years ago, and overall, I have been very happy with these reels. The 10-bearings make this a really smooth and quiet reel, and the anti-reverse, live bait feeder, and drag have worked flawlessly. I use the EB-50 for my Chesapeake chumming rod with 17# mono, and the EB-65 for a 12′ ocean surf rod with 50# braided line. I probably should have purchased the Coronado version for my surf rod, since Coronados have the same bait feeder feature but are specifically designed to resist saltwater, but I religiously flush my tackle with fresh water after every outing, and after 5 years see no corrosion, even on the surf outfit.
Epixor reels come with an additional spool (without the titanium lip the first reel has) which comes in handy if you need to switch to a different line type or weight. I particularly like the bait feeder lever which not only allows you to fish live bait without resistance or an open bail, but also really comes in handy just in lowering your bottom rig to the right height when you’re trying to rebait a long surf stick standing in a sand spike.
My only real complaint about the Okumas is that the finish on the Epixor reels could be more durable. I’m a pretty meticulous person in taking care of my gear, yet somehow the silver, painted finish has chipped in a few places on both reels. Not really a biggie, but not something I see on my American-made reels. But hey, for all of the other features at this price, I can live with a few dings. With a more durable finish, I would have given the Epixor 5 stars.
