Okuma Catalina

Okuma Catalina

In the world of fishing the words carp reels appear often. Maybe not the entire world of fishing, perhaps just carp fishing. There are several versions and/or companies that are known by this product and it is always good to know that you have a good item in your boat to enhance your favorite past time. It all seems to come down to two companies when looking for the perfect fishing experience, Shimano and Okuma.

Shimano is the name that pops up everywhere in the world of carp reels. For those in the world of fishing there is hardly any other that is to be named. Really. While other brands are fine for the hobbyist, only Shimano is good enough for the professionals. There most popular product of all just got an overhaul for the 2009/2010 fishing season. Their infamous Baitrunner, that has been around for 20 years, is now forming the way for a new line altogether. This new stuff offers a whole new type of fishing technology with a sleek, compact design. Four sizes will be offered altogether and will be available to use in saltwater as well as freshwater. The one drawback that some people have with Shimano carp reels is the price. These run approximately $66.00 for the older models and upwards of $165 for the 2010 models. That is strictly for the Baitrunner Reel, not the whole fishing rod.

Okuma is the close runner up. As a matter-of-fact, when a survey of fisherman was conducted, this is the only other company that was mentioned besides Shimano. They are praised to have high quality carp reels at a more reasonable price point. This company has also released a new type of reel claiming to be the latest in angling technology. Their 2010 Catalina and Clarion is all about the Tension Spool Control. This allows you to do a drop completely hands free. This creates the competitive edge that they need to keep up with Shimano. Interestingly enough, this new carp reel runs the price of $199 to $220. Thus making the new Shimano Baitrunner a bit more attractive in the pricing department. Now last years models of the same type of spinning versions are listed anywhere from $21 through $140 and possibly more depending upon where you purchase them. These carp reels may not be quite as famous as Shimano, but they hold their own in the world of professional fishing and with those that are not quite ready for the pro world.

Like with all types of fishing gear, picking out the right carp reels can make or break your efforts. Choose the right reels and carp fishing tackle to ensure success.
