Okuma Hakai on the water CASTING IMPRESSIONS... Its a SMOOTH operator 

This reel vs the new Shimano curado 150 MGL would be an awesome comparison video. A light lure cast battle would be cool 👍🏻

This reel is gonna dominate, so versatile & lightweight & at an unbeatable price point.

A Okuma acertou nessa carretilha! Sensacional!

Huhh, while I would have never normally considered this reel or even this brand, I’m seriously reconsidering that. I’m impressed, especially with the spool and overall reel weight. A drag clicker would almost guarantee I’d get one…but that’s not a deal breaker. Often, when I need a break, or wana sidescan scout, I’ll troll a crankbait and a drag clicker is epic for that. Well done my friend! You have done Okuma a valuable service.

God bless you brother, keep the bible quotes coming. If it wasn't for Joseph Robinett Biden I would have bought this reel already. Got to wait till I sell some others first.

Ich Fische die Hak schon ein Jahr, .... ich kann nur sagen ....love it !!

VERY WELL DONE on the pro's and con's of the reel. The best example of testing a reel unbiased and with an open mind. Impressed me enough that I subscribed to learn more on different fishing equipment. Hopefully in the long run you will save me money and headaches in the future. LOL But the reason I did find your channel was I'm in the market for a few reels. Very new to baitcasters and have a lot to learn. Okuma and Tina I've been using spincasting for years with trouble free operation and dependability. So I figured I'd check U-Tube on certain models to gain some knowledge. I am sold on the Hakai for a couple different ratios. Thanks for the information and unbiased opinion on the reel. I'll go thru your library to see if you have anything on Musky fishing equipment since I'm going to start that style of fishing this summer. Keep up the good work and THAMK YOU!!!!!

The only big store I know of that sells a lot of Okuma is Dicks sporting goods. Ive seen them at small tackle shops also. I cant wait for this reel to be released.

Got mine 2 weeks ago...so far I'm very impressed with the reel👍👍💪💪

Hope they come out sooner than expected. I need to replace a handful of reels before spring.

I have 3 different Okuma rods and i have been very happy with them, looking forward to trying this reel

Impressive. Interesting to see how they hold up over time.

When you going to put this up against the mgl 150 and the tatula

Thanks for the videos on this reel.

Very excited about the new Okuma Hakai. These things are legit.

Nice looking reel 👍🇺🇸

Wow I'm not the only one that uses a swivel on a fluke 🤯

Thanks for the review bro.. good 👍 👍

You'll get the best performance and distance possible with no spool tension (mechanical brake). Only the spool speed control ("brakes") up or down until backlashes stop.

So torn between the hakai and the Curado 150 mgl. Can't wait for your test comparison and thoguhts

Que bueno que ahora salen los subtítulos en español. Gracias

122$ on TW Black Friday sale, you would be silly not to just try one of these out.

Sure would like to see the bait finesse model ?

My problem with magnetic reels is corrosion on the magnets creating a dust that gets between the spool and the body. So let’s see how that lasts on kayaks in the salt. I love the idea but I use a tranx in the salt.

2/4/2022 final countdown for this beast to release 😀

Awesome vid again! Hoping this reel will come overseas (Europe, the Netherlands), im very impressed by it. Any idea if the baitfinesse model is a true alternative for the Shimanos/Daiwas BFS reels? Looking forward to your insights 😉

Seems like a real nice do everything sort of real for $160 seems like a decent investment if will last a lifetime.

Is it a better reel than the Metanium 20 ?

Will be buying several models including BFS one, looking foreward to using them.

Great video! I will be buying one of these reels for sure. The silver rod at the end , what is the name and brand of that rod, it looks beautiful!

looks very tough and smooth baitcaster reel, unfortunately not yet available in my country

This vs scorpion mgl, what are you picking??

Looks good

I like the reel but what about longevity?? My aldebaran and other shimano and diawa reels have stood the test of time with more ball bearings . I might have to get one and see . I like the look of this reel and the hand posturing .

Been waiting. Got mine.

got mine yesterday .. its solid .

Thanks for looking at an okuma! Seemed awfully quiet. Could you feel the bait through the reel? Thanks!

Thanks!!

that looks like a cross between shimano bantam and daiwa zillion 1000 hd

Just tried to order 2 and they are back ordered

Im looking for a new higher end baitcasting reel in the$ 200-300 range. I ussually fish 3/8 oz to 1/2 oz jigs, swimbaits and spinnerbaits with 30lb braid and or 16 lb fluorocarbon. Whats your favorite in that price range and for that style? Does this reel fall into one of your favorites?

You gave a good demonstration of a reel i was curious about. But in the future could you start listing the reel and pole set up better in the description with links so I can get pricing and some specifics on the product. Once again your demonstration was great.

So it's worth the $40 I just spent on it?

Definitely getting both of them. Wanted to ask. Is this like a 150 size reel? Great video as Always

can use for lure under 3 gr ?

How about my Lews BB1 Pro speed spool (2018) its already pretty sweet! Also I bought a SIXGILL HAMMAR S 8:3:1...can you check that out, it seems to have great potential! Thanks Gary

This reel could be sold on aliexpress...

Anyone have a long-term impression? I live in Taiwan and I'm looking for a strong baitcaster for giant snakehead (up to 10kg fish). Also consider I will pay about $107 for the Okuma since I'm in Taiwan VS about $190 for a Curado DC.

Awesome channel!!! Just realized I posted this question on a 3 yr old video.... Any way to upgrade my Curado DC or JDM SLX dc? Bigger spools, bearings? Any thoughts... Thanks! Gary

Stop using swivels and snaps, overestimate lure weight and lure wind resistance, is better to use a straight knot.

what is the difference between okuma scorpio and okuma halogen?

Yep ordering 3 of them

Quite impressive casts with the 3 grams lure, taking the stiff rod and thick line into account. May be my next reel. I like smooth and quite casting reels also. I have the Metanium MGL 2020, also smooth and quite but sucks at 5 grams and below. Does this reel feels as solid as the Metanium?

My next reel 💪🤸🥰

Reqomendasi rell wort it daiwa tatula 80 tw / okoma hakai ?

Better than the Piscifun?

I prefer the flatter style knobs but these reels really do like nice!

When and were can i get one

What rod?

What model

We just gunna ignore the fact that you hooked a bunch of string at the boat launch and just shook it off rather than pick it up an dispose of it?

why should it also make the noise of a centrifugal brake ??? its a magnatic braking system dont get your sentence there 😅

When is the next cast battle

what rod are you using at 19:12 ??

why dont you use braid

거리 측정도 아닌 캐스팅은 의미가 없습니다.
