I am looking for a pair of reels to match with Okuma BattleCats. I will be bank fishing a small local lake. Rigging 2ozs. Of weight med goldfish or 4-6 inch bluegill. Line 60lb braid... Top end Flatheads are 45 lbs, so I hate to drop the money for Fathoms.. Has anyone been able to cast these reels and have an opinion on which casts better, I am looking at the 15 size with level wind. I will be replacing a pair of Okuma Convector 20s. I have had good luck with the Okumas, to me they cast very well and have been mechanically reliable. My grandson wants to try fishing this year and I will be passing the Okumas on to him..

Decided on a Squall 15LW... I think it will pair well with my 8ft Okuma BC rod  |

Nice looking rigs there.
Sorry you didn't get any feedback. I had no experience with either so I couldn't really comment. I would have went with the squall also though, that would be based simply on looks and design.

I am pleased with the Squalls so far, they seem to me as smooth as my Fathoms, the true test will come when the Doctor gives me the ok to start casting..

Fred I tried to reply to your message. I am not sure whether it went through or not, my phone is acting up.
