Okuma Ceymar Baitcasting Reel - LH

Yes, the Okuma Ceymar features a corrosion-resistant graphite frame and sideplates, making it suitable for saltwater use. However, thorough rinsing with fresh water after each saltwater outing is recommended to maintain its condition.

The reel is compatible with monofilament, fluorocarbon, and braided lines. The specific type and diameter will depend on your target species and fishing conditions. Refer to the line capacity (110m/0.31mm) for guidance.

The external magnetic cast control is typically a small dial or slider on the sideplate. Turn it to increase or decrease the magnetic braking force on the spool, helping to prevent backlashes during casting.

A 6.5:1 gear ratio means that for every single turn of the reel handle, the spool will rotate 6.5 times. This provides a balance between line retrieve speed and cranking power, suitable for many general fishing applications.

This reel has a maximum drag power of 5Kg (approximately 11 lbs), provided by its multi-disc composite drag system.

While durable, this reel is designed for lighter, finesse applications like drop shotting and micro jigging. Its line capacity and drag power may be insufficient for heavy-duty offshore trolling or targeting very large game fish.

Ensure all external screws are tightened. If the noise persists, it may require internal lubrication or inspection.

Adjust the external magnetic cast control. Start with a higher setting and reduce it gradually. Also, ensure your thumb bar is fully released and that your spool tension knob is properly set.

Check the drag washers for debris or damage. Clean or replace if necessary. Ensure the drag star is tightened appropriately for the line strength being used.

Ensure the line is being retrieved straight and that the level wind is functioning correctly. Check for any obstructions or damage to the level wind guide.
