Abu Garcia Orra SX

[GABBA]

G'day I have recently come across this reel and was wondering of anyone knows anything about it. It seems to look good.

Hey Gabba,

I have had a play with one of these reels and they are nice, very smooth and a good quality drag, they are a bit heavier than the Revo Premier spin reels which are also very nice. Depending on what you're using it for also have a look at the Pflueger Patriarch XT spin reels, they are a sweet reel.

Hi thanks for the replies. I have another follow up question (I am new to fishing so know very little), how do I know what reel to get, as in what size.

I like fishing off the each so would like a reel for that, but one that can be used from the rocks if need be. I have come across this family (orra sx) which are supposed to be well suited, but what size. I suppose the larger the more "high strength" line it can hold, but the heavier it will be?

Size 4000 should be alright for beach and light rock fishing using 12 lbs main line and 10 lbs leader.

I would go the 60 size for off the rocks - The Orra's are a compact reel for their size, the 40 being smaller than the average 4000 size(great snapper reel by the way). The 60 will give you a better retrieve rate for when you have to skim your rig quickly back of the tops of the submerged rocks and is still smaller than a lot of heavy 6000 reels.
