Best deal on the market.
July 14, 2020
I own 2 4000s and one 6500. I've caught thousands of striped bass on my 40s as well as flounder big bluefish and weakfish. I also run a guide service and these are the reels I set my customers up with. My 1st has been around for 3 seasons and going strong. I used to be into van staals and this will catch the same fish no problem. The reals do close on the cast and I've remove the bail from my 6500 because I bought that one to try and pop tuna. Also sometimes if you don't pay attention the line will wrap around the top of the spool at the start of the retrieve. But other than those two minor problems the reals are solid and last and can't be beat in that price point by any reel I've seen on the market there isn't even a close comparison in that price point these reels are a solid as my van Staal 150s and shimano stellas
ProsSolid and can last seasons and catch seriously big fish.
ConsLine lay problem at start of retrieve Bail closes on the cast

Bail me out
December 8, 2019
After casting you need to manually close the bail. I?ve never had a reel that didn?t close itself by turning the handle. Almost wondering if something is missing. Other than the bail issue everything is good
ProsStrong drag. Very smooth reel
ConsThe non selfclosing bail is a bummer

Absolutely Love It!!!
January 19, 2018
I purchased the 65 for party boat fishing in Southern California and the real has not let me down!!! I have caught Dorado, Yellowtail, Rockfish, Sand Bass, Calico Bass on this reel. It's stopping power is amazing and for the price it hard to find a better reel. I will be adding 2 more of these to the rotation.

Azores 80

I have used this reel for jigging and popping, for around 2 years now and absolutely nothing wrong with it. Great amount of drag, torque and rigidity for winching in those big fish. Best priced reel I have ever used!
ProsTorque, rigid, lots of stopping power (drag).

Okuma Azores, my new favorite reel!
July 14, 2015
If you fish saltwater this is a must have.I have the 65 on a 7ft XH Tsunami trophy jigging rod. It's a perfectly balanced smooth combo and ican't wait to wear out some tarpon or monster snook with it!

Woody
from Midwest asked:
March 2, 2019
What are the significant differences between the Z-40 Azores and the Z-4000 Azores besides the color? The added line capacity is the only difference "on paper". Heavier duty parts? Internal support system? Size of size the bearings or drag disks?
1 Answer
Besides the color the only difference is the line capacity with the 4000 having a larger line capacity.

Does the bail on the 14000 close automatically or do you have to close it manually?
1 Answer
This bail will close automatically, but it's a good habit to close it manually to avoid wind knots and to ensure the line gets on the roller correctly.

would Asores Z65 pair well with TD Silver Hook boat 7'0" ?
Looking for versatile inshore / light of shore spinning setup for vairous species (stripers, blues, Mahi, Tog and large Flounder)
1 Answer
These would make a very good reasonably priced pair. I will say you can probably get away with a 55s or 40s for targeting these species as well, just to keep your set up light!

Kenn Asche
from United States asked:
October 26, 2020
Have the Cedros Aples 6'6" rod for Boca Grande Tarpon (+140lbs).  What reel size would you recommend?  The rod is blue so I would like the reel to match.  6000-blue, 8000 blue, or 14000 blue?
1 Answer
I would recommend the 8000 size reel, same drag specs as the 14000 but will be lighter and easier to handle while hooked up to these huge tarpon.

from Northeast Florida asked:
October 2, 2017
I am looking for a multi-purpose saltwater spinning reel. I will use it for live bait tarpon fishing and jigging for amberjack. I like this reel because it does high drag. Which size should I get, the 65 or the 80?
1 Answer
I think the 65 size would be sufficient so long as you are using a braided line. You'd be able to fix approximately 300 yard of 80 lb. braid on the reel.
