Okuma - Big Bomber Spod Reel - 7000

Yes, it is pre-spooled with 200m of 30lb test braid, allowing for immediate use.

While technically possible, it is optimized specifically for spodding and marker work; it lacks the finesse features desired for standard rod-and-line fishing.

They allow you to accurately hit two different distances without the need to re-measure your distance with distance sticks.

Simply keep the reel clean and keep the drag loosened when not in use to prevent the washers from compressing and sticking.

Yes, the handle is designed to be swapped to either side to accommodate personal preference.

It is best paired with a 12ft or 13ft spod or marker rod to balance the size and weight of the 7000 frame.

Check the XXL even flow roller for debris or buildup and ensure it rotates freely; clean with a light lubricant if necessary.

Ensure the line is not forced into the clip too deeply; if the clip has a sharp edge, buff it gently with fine-grit sandpaper or replace it.

Verify that the handle screw is tightened securely and ensure the internal gears are not obstructed by sand or grit.
