Okuma Serrano

[Basswrangler]

I just saw a serrano for the first time in person. The reel seems really nice and smooth and love the super low profile. I'm looking for a reel to throw plastics, Just wondering if anyone has tried this. I know the reel is really not built to throw plastics, but honestly I think it looks awesome on the C3 rod and want to give it a try. I just want to make sure that plastics are within the scope of this reel.

My friend has a Serrano and I have seen him use it to toss senkos, carolina rig, texas rig and jigs. He likes it a lot. However, I have not seen him cast fly lined finesse worms because of the conditions here lately ( windy and choppy water). The reel has a nice free spool and I don't see why it will not cast plastics well. I hope that helps. By the way, after trying his Serrano I purchased the Cayenne and it is a very nice reel for the price. I like it.

Thanks, I figured it would work fine for plastics, guess I was just nervous that this reel was marketed heavily for saltwater and figured it might be best with heavy baits.

Radray, I was eye'n up the Cayenne as well, but I really like the look of the Serrano on matching rod.

Thanks fellas

I had one of these. Did a review of it but it's now gone because of the server crash. I used it primarily for plastics. It's a good caster and palms very comfortably. The only thing I didn't like about it was the smallish handle grips.
