- Introduction to the Okuma ABF 6000 Baitfeeder Spinning Reel. A quick tutorial on a Baitfeeder reel and how to use it. Size comparison between this reel and the Okuma ABF-55b and the Okuma ABF-65b. The purpose of the extra washers included with Okuma spinning reels
What you could do is use electrical tape and tape around the spool and then tie your braid directly to that. Because the rubbery texture of electrical tape prevents the braid from slipping.
If you do that you can easily get 200 - 250 yards of 50 lb braid on that reel that's what I did and I haven't had any issues with braid slipping in all the years I have been using braid. And I've never used monofilament backing I just always used electrical tape.
Excellent suggestion, thank you! I'll give that a shot the next time I spool a reel. Big fan of electrical tape
@@TheCoolGrandpa yeah electrical tape has a million uses but in fishing I primarily use it for spooling up my reels with braid I've never been a fan of mono backing personally. Probably because I've been fishing with braid so long that I remember back when people used to just use electrical tape before mono backing was ever used.
And the only reason people started using mono backing anyway was to save money on braid. but I guess it's just an old head habit of mine to just use electrical tape but it works perfectly for me so why change something if it's working.
Any idea on what size the 6000 is comparable to I am looking for light lure musky reel used a Mitchel 300 on it for 10 years any idea how much bigger the 6000 is then that
The Okuma ABF-6000 is more inline with a 5000 Series reel size wise. It would be a good light to medium reel for muskies depending on the size of your baits or lures. Not familiar with the Mitchels, last one I used was a long time ago.
