Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Tackle & Techniques
Okuma Vsystem V55sa Spinning Reel
Doug Terry:
I watched the video and read the spec and some positive comments here http://www.tackletour.com/reviewokumavs20.html
and from anglers from stripers on line, + the 5 year guarantee I just thought that at 349Au$ compaired to the Shimano Saragosa 14000 which I've been told is the cheapest reel suitable for GT's.
How you guys who fish for GT's on a regular basis rated it as it would appear to be the new boy on the block.
Brandon Khoo:
I don't think you can place too much credence on the review, Doug considering that it is for the smallest model in the range. I note also that the reel is being run-out now by some stores so it appears it has been withdrawn by Okuma.

I am very confused. A Shimano Saragosa 18000 can't cost you more than US$ 300. That's less than A$ 349!
Ben Rivers:
The Shimano Saragosa 18000F or Daiwa Saltist H - 6500 would be much better options than a V-System.
Both reels are low $300 and 20Kg + Drag.
Doug Terry:
In Australia a Shimano Saragosa 14000f which is of a similar size to the Okuma is 339 a$
