Quick take
A compact saltwater spinning reel with an on/off baitfeeder system and cyclonic flow rotor design to minimize water intrusion.
This size 500 Okuma Ceymar is a graphite spinning reel with an on/off baitfeeder lever, so bait can run freely and the main drag takes over once a fish is hooked. It pairs a 5.0:1 gear ratio with a corrosion-resistant graphite body and rotor and a cyclonic flow rotor that helps it dry out. It suits anglers fishing live or cut bait for carp and similar species who want a light reel that handles light line.
Best for
- Live bait fishing where slack line is needed
- Boat and inshore saltwater fishing
- Carp fishing with a runaway line
Skip if
- You fish freshwater only
- You need a large capacity reel
Strengths
- Baitfeeder system disengages to let bait run freely

Trade-offs
