The Otis 2500 spinning reel was customized specifically for inshore saltwater fishermen who are targeting strong fish on lightweight gear without having to break the bank.
After 4+ years of product design and testing, this reel has proven to be a fish catching machine that is super fun to fish with.
It weighs in at just 7 ounces which is extremely light, but it has enough power to handle overslot redfish and big snook. It has a smooth carbon drag that has enough power to effectively use 40 lb braid (although we recommend 7 lb to 15 lb for optimal casting performance).
After seeing how this reel goes above and beyond the normal duty for controlling big fish, we decided to name it after Salt Strong's mascot, Otis, given that he always is sure to deliver an abundance of energy when a big fish is on the line.
