Okuma's blade body design narrows the profile of the reel's frame. This feature reduces weight eliminating the extra mass and bulk of the reel, giving it a much lighter and compact design with a strikingly sharp appearance. The ultra smooth Epixor features ten ball bearings. The materials and manufacturing are of the highest quality, and yet these reels do not reside in the stratospheric price range of their contemporaries.
Comments about Okuma Okuma Epixor 55 Spinning Reel:
Good line capacity for a pier reel, solid guts for larger fish, nice smooth drag. Easy casting..it is a little heavy, but its frame is a metal casting not graphite, so you would expect metal to be heavier than composites.
I've had the reel about a year with no issues at all.
